DISUNION IN CHINA.
It has been supposed that China "

1t has been supposed that China was
a centralized despotism before it be-
came republic in name, but it ap-
pears that it was and is collection
of practically autonomous provinces
not altogether unlike the original Is
American states. China's disunion of
parts has been even more pronounced
because the people of each province
speak a different dialect. Though
the governors and viceroys were ap-
pointed by the crown at Picking, they
maintained their own armies and the
central authority did little more than
accept tribute paid out of taxes col
lected by each province through a
system of it's own. The Peking gov
eminent had no national army to en-
force it's DEGREES and no independent
source of income prior to the insti-
tuition of the maritime customs. All
this accounts for not a few of the
tribulations of previous emperors
and more recent presidents.
President Ii Yuan-Hung, who
recently succeeded Yuan Shi-Kai with
the approval of the revolted and
powerful southern provinces, is con-
fronted with serious if not impos-
sible task of Welding together the
loosely bound sections of vast and
varied country. Real nationality in
the United States was the growth of
a century. The same development in
China may require a longer period
though it may be FASTENED by the need
of closer union as means of defense
against foreign aggression.

Americanism than by satisfaction fol
grievances which the Mexican people
did not inflict. 1t adds that while the
United States has perfect right to
protect her frontier. she would COM
nit a grave error by declaring war
and that it is the duty of the govern
ment to avoid war.
The newspaper suggests an I'M
partial position concerning warning
factions in Mexico and an embargo on
arms, while a strict police guard be
placed on the frontier.
"The Argentine Republic and all
South America would be happy if the
United States could find peaceful
solution, saving American honor and
civilization"
Commenting editorially on the
Mexican situation, the Journal O'Piaz,
of Rio Janiero, supports the policy of
the United States, which it thinks sin
cerely disposed to defend it's interests,
it's territory and the lives of its citi-
zens "without making the anarchy Of
Mexico in any way an excuse for prac-
Using acts of imperialism which
would bring about the irreparable
bankruptcy of the great authority and
confidence which the United States
enjoys so legitimately in America and
elsewhere.
cit is impossible" continues the
newspaper, mot to recognize that the
aims of the Niagara conference are
grossly violated by the government of
Mexico, which persists in lending
countenance to acts of violence conn
mitted against the most sacred inter-
ests of a nation which consented to
enter into a peaceful agreement in
stead Of preferring to use force and
practise acts of Imperialism. This
agreement was precisely a measure
giving just consideration of the legi-
innate existence of the situation for
the United =. States, respect for its
sovereignty, it's interests and the lives
of it's citizens"
The Journal O'Paiz, also of Ric
Janiero, while recalling "the happy
action. of three years ago." recognizes
that the present situation is more seri
Gus. Efforts at mediation, it says
"would clash now against double OBJ
stacles, because the mediators woulo
not have confidence, in the honorable
accomplishment of the engagements
which would be undertaken"
"It is certain" says the newspaper
t''that the use of force by the United
States against Mexico would raise Oh
the American continent the most We
hement protestation. 1t is impossible
to deny also that painful impression
is caused by the incorrigible turbu
lence of this Latin republic, which de
fies with amazing blindness tn
dangers resulting from its madness
and which continues to despise al
calls to reason and good sense, plung
ing toward criminal suicide, into
fight which can be only fatal to her.
