A CHINESE MORAL.

From the New Republic, Oct. 16)
 Sir: As a student of American Sonditions and institutions 1. have cen interested, impressed and be- yildered by the discussions in the fress anent the European war. l ave tried to reconcile the conditions f my own country with the argu- 1ents of the pacifists in this coun- ,ry; I have tried to see the consis- 5ency of condemning Germany for 5oing what the Allies are trying but .ail to do; I have tried to see the Inference between the violation of ,selgian neutrality and of Chinese aeutranty, between domination of the ca and domination of the lanu, be- 5ween militarism and navyism, and nave about come to the conclusion hat nothing is either right or wrong because it does not violate a princi- ole, but because Germany does or sloes not do it. I am told that Ger many is fighting selfish war of na- 3ionalism, that the Allies are fighting #or internationalism and world peace. this argument is sincere would it aot be more convincing if the Allies proclaimed a positive program to the world, if, for example, they announc- .d ...e.r intention, if successful, to rec China from the aggressions of Japan, to give independence to Per- ia, Korea, Egypt, India and Poland? n word, what light has been she, all the discussions provoA->. by he war upon ,ne real problems of world peace? That peace will never come until a sense of international :ernational sincerity. are moro uni Versal than they appear to be at pres isnt. Neither public sentiment nor a promise to any of the belligerants has thus far convinced the "benight- ed" Orienta .nat national indepen- ience can come from any other source than the sl..e Itself or that there is any other means than Ea- tional preparedness to secure that end. Compulsory, and, so far as pos sible, universal, military training is the lesson China should draw from the European conflict.
