TWO NEW REPUBLICS.

55s THE awakening Of the people Of
China to consciousness Of their
possibilities under free government is
the most significant, if not the most
momentous, event of our generation"
In these words President Wilson,
announcing the end of Dollar Diploma
cy, extends to the new Chinese Re-
public the first note of recognition
and goodwill that has yet proceeded
from Washington. He does not ex-
aggerate. What happened in China
a year ago last February had a mean
ing which we should have been quick
to recognize. 1t will loom big in the
books that are to come.
nation Of hundreds Of millions
with history so ancient that its be
ginnings are lost in fable; a nation
with a civilization, a religion and a
form Of education that tended natural
" to absolutism; a nation content I'M
til few years ago to live upon ira
ditions and superstitions- China al
most in day, with little bloodshed
and no great disturbance OF social
conditions having the sanction OF
centuries, set aside the empire and
established republic. The old order
claimed on the basis of liberty, hui
man rights and equality.
Thirteen months have passed since
this event, and during that time, unl-
til now, the only American hands
that have been presented to a self
governing China have been those OF
Wall street money-lenders and con-
cession-seekers. These persons had
more than the moral and physical
backing of the United States. They
co-operated with it by invitation.
They were practically in partnership.
II this interesting combination could
do business with China, American
recogni ton might be Forthcoming but
not; otherwise. This was the essence
Of Dollar Diplomacy. sss.I
We were ready, it appears, to 100
the new republic, to mortgage its fu
ture and to establish a sphere of in,
duence. We were not ready to give
it sympathy and assistance. Between
the great republic Of 1.-THE West ant
the great republic Of the East We in
lterposed the sinister figures Of bank
ers and contractors. Instead OF help
we applied pressure. Instead g
standing with these millions OF free
men whom we should have welcomed
as republicans, we stood with thu
millions OF dollars Of Wall street
London, Paris and Berlin. Further
more. we boosted of it.
It is not China alone that is to Ebt
congratulated upon President VII
sons action. By his decision separ
i ating the Government Of the Unitet
! States from this enterprise he ha
/ done more than declare policy Q
: right and justice toward a Struggling
