Fe ars Autocratic
Rule Unless China
Grows in Own Way
DR.. c. T. Wang Here to
Urge Society to Pro-
mote Friendship

Unless China is permitted to work
out her destiny without interference
okother nations she may develop along
artocratic and militaristic lines, IN
which case, with her vast resources and
population, she would become "a
menace to the worlds peace" accord
ing to DR.. c. T. Wang, leader of the
Constitution alist movement in China,
who came here from Washington to
address q meeting in the City Club
Yesterday, at which plans for the
formation of q Chinese American So
ciety were made.
DR.. Wang was the Vice-President Of
the Senate of the first Parliament OF
the Republic Of China.
"The object Of my visit ne SAID IN
an interview following the meeting, "ls
to place the cause of China before the
American people in order that they
may help us develop along democratic
and constitutional lines.
People Are Awakening
If China were to develop along au,
tocratic lines, then indeed she would
become, with her 400,000,0OO popula-
tion and vast resources, menace to
the worlds peace. Her people are
gradually awakening. Everything de-
pends upon the way in which they are
developed. If she is permitted to work
out her own destiny, without any out
side interference, she will grow along
peaceful industrial lines.
n America see
that she is given her chance to develop
Commenting % on China's attitude tow
ard the world war, DR.. Wang said:
"The thinking men in China knew
that the battles being fought in France
were not fought for the peoples OF
Europe alone. They knew that China s
destiny was linked with that of the
Allies, particularly America, which we
regard as our warmest friend.
"China felt that she should do her
share. One contribution was to send
about 100000 coolies, who were used
/ for various constitutional purposes by
the Allies. We have sent our quota
of men to serve in the Siberian cX-
neditionnry forces. China would have
done more had the enlightened ele-
ments been III control of the poltica,
situation"
Expression Of Friendship
"The 80, 900 Chinese who were enlisted
in less than three weeks in the Ameri-
can Red Cross during that organiza-
tion's last war drive gave testimony of
China's friendship for this country
They chose the Red Cross as the chan
mel through which to express friend
ship. They knew that the Red Cross
had always been first to help our people
| in time of fIood and famine"
Definite plans for formation of the
Chinese American Society, to promote
friendly relations, were made at the
meeting. committee of five was ap-
pointed to take steps for incorpora-
tion of the organization.
Speakers included John X. Sague
American delegate on the China Tariff
Revision Commission; Frank N. Dou-
bleday, of Doubleday, Page G. Co.; DR.

National Debt Now Three
hfths Estimated Wealth
of Entire Country
See Heavier Taxes
War Cost Kaiser's People
$35, ,oo0, 900, 900, With
More To Be Paid

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-Study of
Cermany's financial situation has been
undertaken by government agencies
here with view to throwing light on
the ability of the German nation to
pay big sums as reparation for de-
vastation of invaded countries. I'm
official reports indicate that Germany's
national debt. represented mainly by
war bonds held within the empire, is
now nearly $3500U 100000. or almost
-fifths of the estimated national
wealth of eighty billions
Although there has been no official
announcement or intimation of the
aggregate amount which the Allies will
expect Germany to pay, 1t is certain to
run into billions of dollars, and neces
sarily the terms of payment must &C
cord with Germany's ability to pay.
This ability will be measured by the
nations power to revive her peace time
industries and trade and to tax these
for state purposes. Financial obser-
vers here say some claims for restora-
terests in a few Allied nations arc ex
travagant, because they are beyond
Germany's ability, even though this is
estimated at the highest.
May Increase Taxes
The victorious Allies will not con-
Germ themselves primarily, it is be
lieved, with Germany's redemption of
her own national debt, since this is
largely internal. Comparatively small
amounts Of German war bonds are
owned outside Germany. and perhaps
the largest sums are held by citizens
of the United States, former German
subjects. Officials here who have
known internal conditions in Germany
in the past do not believe the govern
ment will repudiate the internal in
debtness, but think that taxes will be
made so heavy as to force citizens to
turn in their bonds in settlement. In
this way the debt would be cancelled
without actual reputation.
There is some discussion in official
circles of the advisablity of the Allies
requiring payment of an indefinite
amount for reparation, this sum to be
sions as the physical reconstruction
progresses in Belgium and France and
the actual cost of the work becomes
more clearly determined. 1t is pointed
cut that future prices cannot be meas
ured accurately at present. Interest
on the part of American officials in
the subject is somewhat indirect, how
ever, inasmuch as the government
expects none of the payments to go to
its credit.
Huns Burden To Be Heavy
Whatever may be the weight of the
final burden Of reparation and restitu-
tion to be placed on Germany, the
enormity of the task ahead of her may
be illustrated by comparison of her
national debt with that of the United
States. Germany has 66,Oo0,oo0 popu-
lation and s80,0o0,OOO,0OO of estimated
wealth to pay $35,OOo,oOo,o0o of war
debt already created. The United
States has 11o,ooo,ooo population and
an estimated national wealth of $780,
0oo.Ooo,o 900 to pay nearly ooo.ooo,ooo
war debt already created, or approx
matcly s23,ooooOo,ooo within another
six months. This means that the per
capita burden will be at least three
times greater in Germany than in the
United States.

LONDON, Nov. 1s.-During the war
the British Admiralty transport service
conveyed by sea 22,oOo,o0O soldiers,
with the loss at sea of only 4,391:
More than 10000, 900 tons of naval and
military stores and more than 100000

MYTH the surrender of twenty one
w warships, not counting subma-

WITH the surrender of twenty one
w warships, not counting subma-
rines, to the Allied navies, Ger
many has been stripped of more than
half of the feet of dreadnoughts which
were in commission or under construc-
tlon at the outbreak of the war, and
nearly all of that nations battle-crui-
sers. The vessels named in advices from
London are the best of their respective
classes, and their surrender reduces
the German fleet to virtual impotence.
The battleships Kaiser, Kaiserin,
KONG Albert, Kronprinz Wilhelm,
Prinz Regent Luitpold and Friedrich
der Crosse are of 24,31O tons each and
were completed as part of the 1910
German naval building programme.
The Markgraf, Grosser Kurfurst and
KONG are of 26,575 tons displacement.
The Bayern is the "a test German battle
cruiser of $4,000 tons.
The Kaiser and KONG Albert, accom-
panied by the cruiser Strassburg, made
cruise to East Africa and the prin-
cipal ports of South America before
the war.
Battle-Cruisers Yielded
Of the five battle-cruisers to be sur
rendered by Germany, the Seydlitz, the
Moltke and the Won der Tam are of
24,600 tons and we're completed before
the war, while the Hindenburg and the
Derfinger, the two latest and speediest
battle-cruisers in the German navy,
were completed during the war. Both
of them took part in the Battle of Jut-
land.
The Won der Tam visited the United
States in 1912.
The light cruisers Bremen, Drummer,
Frankfort, Koln, Dresden, and probably
the Emden, are the very latest of this
type of ships possessed by the Ger
mans. They are noted for their speed
and long range, although possessing
vulnerable armors.
