WILCOX RAPS WILSON
FOR Chinese POLICY
President Depending on Ignorance Of
People" Says Chairman.

IF the future develops that much
feared menace, a China partitfoned
and dominated by Japan, with the vast
potential strength of Asia awakened
and organized to advance Japanese
designs 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 1t"
This statement is made by William
r. Wilcox, chairman Of the Republi-
can National Committee. Mr.. WILCOX
says further:
'aThe oben door in China was an
achievement of the statesmanship Of
John Hay. Its closing against the
United States is the product OF the
demaEogy of woodrow Wilson. The
opportunity to render service to China
and TO protect and advance vital
Amedican interests is ripe. 1t Is in
sistsnt. No sincere. honest passion
for humanity could fail to heed that
call to service.
The Republican party has candidly
stated that It will base our foreign
policy first upon American rights and
interests. America first, and America
efficient is our slogan. But the VIII
son administration, protesting pas
sion for wronged humanity, holding
to its bosom the killing of 200 Mexi-
can men, women and children in. Vera
Cruz in a war against Huerta, now
turns q deaf ear to China's cry for
assistance against Japanese aggres-
sion
Wilson Made BIunder.
And why does It remain deaf to China's
appeal7 Simply because, as in the case
Of Mexico an original blunder made by
woodrow Wilson, the theorist, will not
be admitted and corrected so near cleo
ton day.
China needs money. She has just
passed through a serious political crisis.
The Golfers Of Europe are closed by the
war. There are only two great powers in
the world today which can help China
out of her dificuIties-the United States
and Japan.
China has appealed to the United States
for financial assistance. American bank
ers are ready to lend it-but they insist
that adequate protection for buyers of
Chinese securities can be insured only II
the United States government stands
behind the loan.
To-day We see China turning to ia
ran, as a last resort, for the money she
must have. She asks this Of Japan at
moment when that power Is throttling her
with list OF secret demands for police
rights and the control Of whole provinces
Of Chinese territory. What sort OF terms
can China expect from Japan? What
has become of Mr. Wilson's professed
concern for China's administrative integ-
rity in this situation?
But II you please, We unideahstic
Republicans will waive the question OF
what injury is being done to China. We
will ask only what it means to the Unit
ed States. 1t may have little or no ef-
feet upon election day, November I,
1914
Mr.. Wilson pursues the easiest way,
the demagogic way. the way of political
sxpediency Duty does not count The
future influence Of the United States does
not count. The prospective trade Of the
American exporter does not count We
are a busy people. And from his lofty
height Woodrow Wilson looks down
upon us-and con, les that he is safe IN
trusting to our lac 4 intelligence and
foresight"
