NEW YORK, July 2~it behooves the
strong to temper their strength with
mercy. Are the great powers of the
world dealing considerably with China al t
this delicate stage in the childhood of the
oriental republic? Are the International
bankers who hold in the hollow of their
hands the financial life Of China acting
with statesmanlike magnanimity? Or are
they bent upon taking advantage Of
Chinas dire necessities?
Relations between state departments
