Washington. March 27.-"I shall not
know how to deal with other matters Of
even greater delicacy and nearer con-
sequences if you do not grant it (sup-
port Of the administration foreign
Tolicy) in ungrudging measure"
A representative of the Chinese gov
Crnment now in Washington quoted to-
day these words from President Will
sons address to Congress on March 4,
1914, urging repeal of the free tolls
provision Of the Panama Canal act, and
declared that the State Department
knew then. and now knows, that the
reference was to complications which
threatened the United States in the
Far East. The Question Of even great
sr delioacy," according 20 this Chinese
authority. was the question OF Ameri-
cas- interest in the integrity and au-
tOnomy of China and the retention by
the Chinese republic Of the freedom Of
international Coutractual rights. II
puzzled Congress at the time.
Japan, finding the European nations
cmbroiled i'm a world war and filled
with their own concerns of offensive
and defensive activity, has taken ad-
vantage OF her opportunity TO force
upon her bigger but weaker neighbor,
China, a treaty agreement under which
other nations of the world, more par
ticularly the United States. shall be
placed at q disadvantage in their com
Tercial and financial relations with the
Chinese nation Thus the gravest fears
of the President are in the making, in
the opinion of the Chinese official.
Il is known in Official circles, accord
ing 20 this authority, that the japanese
government has a clearly defined plan
OF action which I'm its development must
result in the elimination of Caucasian
influences in the directing Of the re-
building of China on modern lines. The
Japanese intention, he declares, is tire
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the MougOlan races
and the control without interference
from any other quarter of the CONNER
cial, industrial and political affairs of
the yellow peoples.
Seeks Mongolian Supremacy.
When Japan ousted the Germans
from the TslnEtau region she was
taking the first step in the direction
Of that Mongoliau supremacy winch is
her dream The ultimate end which
Japan seeks to gain is complete recog-
milton of racial equality throughout the
world, and entire domination of the
areas bordering on the Pacific Ocean.
The recognition Of racial equality IS
founded in large measure on sentiment.
The domination Of the Pacific region Is
practical ambition.
Recent demands made upon the
Chinese republic have, in the opinion
Of the Chinese representative, the one
purpose of Japan of arrogating to
herself entire control of the Far East
lie points out that Japan to an. even
greater extent than Germany is a mill
taristic power. The lines of political
demarcation IN Japan to-day are lines
of cleavage as between the army party
and the navy party. The Okuma gov
ernmeut was the result of a victory of
the navy party over the army party
less than two years ago, but the outs
as well az the "ius" in Japan are mill
tarists.
Japan is not uuappreciativc Of the
fact, however that miitarism is an
expensive luxury. II is said to be only
the lack of necessary funds TO meet
the demands Of both the army and the
navy party at the same time that has
made for two parties. She must cast
about for means of raising the funds
