familiarizing the public with the

be determined, and furnished a blow

write them for it. This action wa, in

Cling of arms to South China, where
there is a widespread revolutionary agi-
tation, the chief instigators of which
are students who have returned from
Japan, and excuses overanxiety on the
part Of China under the circumstances
Japan is playing the role of guardian
of China" says the Temps. ''but with
more sternness than benevolence. Incl
dentally Japan is incapable of pursuing
a disinterested policy. If she really de-
sires the reawakening to education of
China it is solely for her own profit.
The PeEin government cannot fail to
see this, and the resulting frictions will
not improve the Chino-Japanese rela-
tons. By persevering in a too-selfish
and abrupt policy Japan risks the dan
ger of disquieting Europe and arousing
more hatred than gratitude in China"
