A EAR-REACHING LOAN

It is seldom that a question of finance, even
though it be international acquires a political
interest as worldwide as that of the Chinese loan
which has been so long under negotiation. When
the old empire was lettering to its fall the Manchu
government appealed to Europe for a loan of three
hundred million dollars patch up its Ragged for
tunes and also to make certain Internal improve
ments. The speedy, approach of the Republic was
not then foreseen The Powers looked to the Manchu
throne for maintenance Of order and stability in
Chinese AFFAIRS and arrangements for extending the
needed assistance were put under way.
Then came the sudden success of the new party,
and almost before the world could realize what
happening China had been transformed, Outwardly
at least into a democracy. This change of govern
ment however in no wise lessened, but, the con-
trary increased the need of the loan; and the
authorities continued the negotiations
The nations originally appealed to were England
France and Germany. The United States entered a
diplomatic plea for participation in the big loan and
after some protests, admitted. Following this,
Russia and Japan were also taken into the confer
ences so that finally a group of six powers was
formed to deal with China's financial situation.
Naturally, the governments that had share in
the loan would also have considerable influence in
advising if not shaping Eastern policies. 1t was
thus distinctly the advantage of the United States
to become partner in this transaction for thereby
Americas rights and interests IN the Orient were
given, recognition by Europe
Under the terms of this contract, each of the
interested powers assured equal part in the
loan, and each pledged itself to maintenance of
Chinas integrity. The first serious tangle in the
/ negotiations came when the new Chinese govern
ent declined to meet certain requirements of the
Six Power group. One of these demands to the
effect that the lenders should act jointly sort of
fiscal agent and supervise the expenditure of the
money. This was considered proper for the reason
that the country, still in a or less disor-
ganzed, If not demorazed, condition and the young
Republic was scarcely capable of dealing unaided
| with its business oblems.
/ But the Chinese government fatty rejected such
surveillance and so for the time being at least the
| plans for the big loan have been suspended 1t
seems certain, however that China must have money
from one quarter another and it is unlikely that
she can look beyond the Six Power group for this
assistance. She has domestic debts, too that must
be met that it is probable that in the future
| she will turn again to her foreign friends. AS a
member of the international company, the United
| States may be depended upon to do its utmost to
assure the struggling Republic a fair deal

Then with disease his back was bent.
He could not wag his chin;
Therefore, his wealth he freely spent

Republican policies have never been popular in

and Mr. Tafs we should infinitely prefer the latter;
tor, he has shown himself at least sincere and has
proved himself an honorable partisan in appointing
federal ocehoders he has been most considerate OF

ingy bent upon Africanizing the South Atlantic
coast.
The truth is that on all essential matters of gov
eminent your policies and, the Souths convictions
your purposes and Souths interests are radically
opposed.
You stand for a perpetuatiOn OF the high protec-
tive tariff.
We believe with Woodrow Wilson that there
should be tariff revision, steadily and unhesitat
ingly downward"
You are urging, as you have ever done a cen
tralization of federal power the sacrifice of State
rights.
We believe in preserving the integrity of the

its people be free.

Of laws and you consider yourself the indispensable

The South believes in constitutional government
and its Democratic blood rebels at the idea of the
dictatorship you would establish.
We might condone, though never accept, your re-
dictionary views OIL the tariff, due to your init
macy with the trusts and your dependence on Spe-
cial Interests for campaign contriOullons. We
might palIiate your greed for federal power and
your treason to the thirdterm precedent the out
breaks of a fiery ambition but the South cannot over
look the Pecksnifhan hyprocisy with which you are
now seeking to its votes.
We judge you by what you have done rather
than by what you profess
= Your promises, your record proves are but
weathercocks that shift with every wind of ex-
pediency.
Just as you clamor for the negros suppression
when you are South and for his equality when you
are North, so every other issue you are the

BY turns, you wear the lions and the ASS skin.
In one breath you clamor for industrial justice
and in the next you propose to legalize monopoly.
You denounce the bosses one moment and the
next take them to your bosom.
You preach pure politics while your own hands
are dripping with campaign fat from the interests
In truth, you stand at Armageddon and you bat

Go home, Colonel!
The South is hospitable but it isn't so gulnble as
