as possible and will if possible. assume a dictatorship that will ultimately be- come tantamount to ownership. This
 IS the primary reason for the prompt
 attempt to suppress the monarehical
 lncnnations of l uan. The allied powers
 care not Jot if China strangle herself
 with revolution or any other form of
 wno will be apt to interfere and gain
 a foothold winch may ultimately tend
 to superior control. China may go
 nang herself and the acton. would be
 viewed with equanimity by any or all
 of the western powers as long as no
 one else entered into the affair but the
 pl aspect that some nation may gain a
 sona hold on the republic as result Is
 another matter entirely. China Is a
 DIg, wild country filled with an mex
 nausub1e store of riches and under ef-
 ucnest and most powerful nations of
 would probably develop into one of the
 richest and mots powerful nations of
 the earth. Especially would this be
 tne case if Japan should be the nation
 to gain the dominant hand in the
 country. The situation of Japan is such that she, more than any other nation, could exercise a control that would bring about the development of the best that China holds and in so doing would bring to herself a bound-
 less wealth and power. In addition she could ,step by step, assume a full and complete control of the nation which m time would become so firmly cement ed that it would become actual own ership. This cannot be viewed by the western nations as other than a most alarming possibility. Japan, with the wealth and potential strength of China penlnd her. would become a most for-
 midable menace to their own future
 safety and well being. Japan is one Of the most aggressive nations under the sun today; is fairly bubbling over with d most superabundant energy and aesire for "a place in the sun." All ready she is among the most powerful of all the powerful nations and is not only looked upon with respect by the powerful nations and is not ony looked by the balnce of the world at is also dreaded in no small degree as most alarming pos sibility for future world discord. This
 hen is the crux of the matter; Japan must be kept out of China if possible lntil the other powers can exercise nore complete supervision of her ac- ions in the event that necessity com- ,els her intervention into the internal .ffairs of that nation. In other words, before she can be allowedf to step into
 he country the other powers must be
 rec to act as policemen in order that ihe may not steal for herself all the asst potentialities which that country lolds and ultimately direct such ac- luirements against themselves. Japan with the strength and wealth of China behind her could make herself the master of the world.
 The other nations recognize this fact plainly enough and recognize also hat she would not hesitate to include world domination in her scheme of na- ional greatness if circumstances were oropitious Knowing these things they cannot but view with alarm any ac- ion which may tend to place her in control of the Chinese nation. To per- init her to gain control of the count less hordes of China's people and to mould them into tremend ous engine of destruction backed by the enormous wealth of their country, spells ultimate destruction to the races of Christendom and so cannot be con- ,eded without a struggle.
