DIR. SUN VAT SEN TOOL OF
ROCKEFELLER

The Chinese Republicans are
getting wise.
The Shanghai Gazette in to-
days issue directly charges John
D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil
Co., and certain American fnan-
ciers, with having caused the
peace conference recently held at
Shanghai to fall through.
Imperialists and Republicans
both were. anxious for peace at
that conference. The Imperialists
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-01-26

made only one demand-Presi
dent Sun Vat. Sen must resign,
and permit a successor to be
chosen at a constitutional con-
vention.
The Republicans were willing
to agree to this, but when they
tried to pry Sun Vat Sen loose
from his job, they struck snag.
He had only held it a few days,
but he liked it.
.Inasmuch as Sun Vat Sen had
put up most of the money for the
revolution, the Republicans didn't
like to kick him out bodily. They
argued with him, and pleaded
with him. But he was obdurate;
until finally he broke with the
strongest man. on the Republican
side-Dr. WI Ting Fang.
Now, the Shanghai Gazette
claims it has discovered the rea-
son of this According to its
story today, it was Rockefeller
and a few other American fnan-
ciers who put up the money which
DR.. Sun Vat Sen turned over to
the reVolutionistS.
The, people of this country,
having had painful experience
with Rockefeller, know that he is
not in the habit of putting up
money unless he expects return.
In this case, the Shanghai Ga
zette says Rockefeller secured
from Sun Vat Sen promises of
vast concessions from the new
Republican government.
