Rv G. L. HARDING.

b-w-a HREE times in the last three years this
country has stood to China in an atti-
tude of friendliness unique among the
nations of the world. America was the
first major power. by six clear months, to recog-
nize the Chinese Republic. President Wilson was
the first chief executive to discountenance the
intriguing finance of the seXtuple bankers. And
to-day again China looks across the Pacific TO
find America the only great nation in the world
who has withheld her hand from the international
war, the only major power that does not add to
the intolerable burdens with which the world
crisis is driving the new order in China daily
nearer TO bankruptcy and ruin.
America to-day has the chance Of a lifetime IN
China. Ever since the Revolution trade has
had a rapidly rising opportunity; to-day our iso-
lation in an honorable peace gives us handicap
more substantial than ever before. Our diplo-
macy Of non-aggresson on Chinese territory and
positive sympathy with Chinese freedom never
stood out so sharply now, when European ag-
gression is ready to destroy any liberty or any
national interest in China which stands in the
way of its internecine strife. But as it is, the
forces of aggression are moving, while the forces
of fair play are standing still.

THE COLLAPSE OF THE SILK TRADE IN
SOUTH AND EAST CHINA.

One gets fair inklng of what is happening
i'm China from the complete collapse Of the silk
trade in the south and east within fortnight
of the declaration of in Europe. In Kwan-
tung province alone there $50 silk flatures,
where silk spinning is carried by hand while
at the treaty ports there are fifteen steam fila
lures employing under modern conditions over
10000 Chinese factory hands 1t is certain that
the bulk of this great industry could not have
continued had it not been for emergency cash
loan Of Sl,5OO,OOO from the foreign banks in
Shanghai, aided by the Bank Of China. This un-
expected crisis, and the desperate results which
might have followed it, symptomatic of the
whole situation, situation in which ready money
as source Of relief must become harder and
harder to obtain, especially when something like
S55OOO,OOO a day is being crammed down the
bloody of the European God of Battles.
The crisis is immensely aggravated for China
by the fact that just as the trade is feeling its
full effect there occurs the mid-autumn settling
day, one of China's traditional periods during the
year for squaring up the credit Of the country.
The flood Of demands for ready cash to tide the
nation over this day comes from every industry
in the country-from the great cotton trade, with
its $4,000 spindles and $15OOO,OOO capital, down
to the smallest guilds Of tea merchants in the
provincial capitals.

state railroads in the United States, in
conformity with the long and short
haul provision of the law, under orders
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, Will become effective May 1. The
new tariffs filed by the roads with the
commission indicate a material fare
reduction, particularly from important
terminals and rate basing points to
intermediate points.
Officials of the commission, after
an analysis of the tariffs, estimate
that "95 per cent. of the changes in
fares Will be reductions,'' and five per
cent. increases. In such advances as
are made, the increases are where
traffic to immediate points is so great
as to affect seriously the revenues of
the roads.
