SCORES WILSON CHINA POLICY.
G. O. p. Chairman says !: Jap Menace
Develops President Is to Blame.

Washington, Sept. lin an attack
on President Wilson's policy with re-
gard to China, Chairman William r.
Wilcox. of the republican national
committee says:
If the future develops that much
feared menace, a China partitioned and
dominated by Japan, with the vast
potential strength of Asia awakened
and organized to advance Japanese de-
signs and ambitions, whatever Of evil
such fate holds in store for the United
States will be justly laid at the door
of the Wilson administration. The
facts prove it. .
"The open door in China was an
achievement Of the craftsmanship Of
John Hay Its closing against the
United States is product of the dema
gogy of Woodrow Wilson. China is
calling to us pitifully for help IN the
preservation of her political integrity.
Bound up in the preservation of her
Integrity we have vast commercial
and vital political interests.
"The opportunity to give service to
China and to protect and advance vital
American interests is ripe; it is in
tsistent. No proper guardians of our
national lHtSTeSlS CdIl II. ANO
sincere honest passion for human
could fail to heed that call to service.
"The republican party has candidly
stated that it will base our foreign pol
icy first upon American right and In
terests. America first and America ef-
ficient is our slogan. But the Wilson
administration, processing a passion for
wronged humanity, holding to its bosom
the killing of 200 Mexican men, women
and children in Vera Cruz In a war
against Huerta, now turns a deaf ear
to Chinas cry for, assistance against
Japanese aggressiOn.
And why does it remain deaf to
China's appeals? Simply because, as
in the case of Mexico an original blum
der made by Woodrow Wilson, the the
orist, will not be admitted and cor
rected SO near election day by Wood
row Wilson. the candidate. Mr. Wilson
believes no votes are to be made in no
vember by craftsmanship, which looks
only to the future and concerns itself
with a distant field, so nothing is
done.''
