rotary Knox is especially interested in
oriental politics. An era of wonderful
commercial development is now begin
ming in China. During the next few
decades many miles of railroads will
be constructed. Mr.. Knox is credited
with the determination that American
merchants and capitalists shall have a
fair share in the commercial and in-
dustrial awakening of the Celestial en-
pire.
That MIR. Knox intends to pursue an
aggressive policy in the orient was evil
dent from the manner in which he in
sisted. that the United States should
have an original share in the Hankow-
Szechuen railroad loan, which was ne
gotiated secretly for the benefit of
British. German and French capital
lists.
The interests of the American group
of bankers who are seeking opportuni-
ties for investment in China are in the
hands of Willard D. Straight, who
left the Office of American consul gen.
eral at Mukden to become the Pekin
representative of the American syndi-
cate. Several months ago the Japa-
nese government blocked the efforts of
British capitalists to construct rail-
road from Hsinmuntun to Fakumen, iii
Manchuria On Sept last an agree
ment was signed at Dalny by which
China promised. in the event of under
taking to construct a railway between
these two points, to arrange the mat
ter previously with Japan.
British and Americans Together.
Blocked in this effort, the British
capitalists allied themselves with the
American syndicate and proposed the
construction of railway from Chin
chowfu to Tsitsihar. with an extension
later to Aigun So far the Chinese
government has not approved this pro-
gram. According to press dispatches
from Pekin. the Japanese government
has served notice upon China that IT
reserves the right to be consulted with
respect to the proposed railway. The
line of the proposed road between Chin
chowfu and Tsitsihar is in the extreme
western part of Manchuria, outside of
what is regarded as the Japanese
sphere of influence.
Though both terminals will be in
Manchuria. considerable portion of
the road will run through Mongolia,
the province west of Manchuria. The
! Importance Of the proposed line lies
in that It win connect at Tsitsihar
with the Transsiberian railroad. The
Japanese. 1t was said. were apprehen-
sive that this road would divert traffic
coming from Europe over the Trans
siberian railroad from the South Man
churian railroad, which is Japanese
