One Of the greatest obstacles to
commerce in China is the "likin," the
internal tax on goods in transit, orig
mating as a war tax during the Tai
ming rebellion. The 'fiki'' was origi-
naIlv n tax of one-tenth of / per cent
of the value of the goods when it was
first imposed, about 1858, but today
its amount is apparently determined
arbitrarily by the collector.

certain elements in the British popu-
latiou.
The other thing the British saw with
the greatest clearness. was that the
war had changed the position of Amer
lea. Britain, victorious though she
was. had been crippled financially and
economically; recovery IL certain
would be slow; America was a poten.
tial rival certain to occupy something
of Britain's position in the world for
some time to come, certain to be the
strongest single power on earth for
many decades. Therefore, to quarrel
with America would be fatal and to
quarrel over the league of nations
mere faulty.
Desire y. S. Friendship.
At this point it Is necessary to add
one more thing. II British policy
clearly pointed In one direction, there
is no less unmistakable evidence that
the desire of many Englishmen with
out regard to national questions was
for new basis OF Anglo-American
relations. # there was calculation In
British policy, there was not less GER
tainly, spontaneous and widespread
anxiety to establish newer and firmer
friendship between the two English
speaking peoples. In sum, am anx-
ious to make clear that the British
statesmen did not merely conspire to
use Mr.. Wilson's idealism; they and
their fellow countrymen came to Paris
or stayed at home equally resolved to
promote the cause of Anglo-American
friendship.
British statesmen, however, saw
clearly that the league of nations idea
could not succeed. They recognized
that no peace Of Cancellation was pos
sible, because they knew their Europe
they knew their own people, the
French people, and the Italian people
would never consent to permit Ger
many to escape form the war I'M

left ruined and bankrupt What they
expected was that as the league OF

full, until the three nations, acting
together, dominated, first the peace
conference, and later the world
through the medium of real interest
if not of solved covenants. The league
of nations thus from the very outset
meant for the British an Anglo French
American alliance.
The French on their part began
very boldly. Like George Washing.
ton. NJ. Clemenceau was incapable OF
telling lie, and unlike wise diplo.
mat he had to blurt out the truth
the result was, as | have said, instant
estrangement between France and the
United States, as represented by Mr.
Wilson, and very unfortunate period
of disappointment. Frenchmen would
not and could not believe in the league
of nations, with the memory of old
and recent German invasions and de
vastations in their minds. Moreover
they knew-and it gave them furious
rage-that their allies across the
channel did not believe in the League
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-06-21

the sequence of events clearly demon
strated.
Mr.. Wilson then faced the great
crisis. To go meant the ruin OF the
League of Nations, the success at
home of his political enemies, the
confusion of the Allied cause. But to
stay meant to consent to an European
peace, to accept terms out of accord
with his program, of peace of con-
ciliation-it meant to lose the COM
manding role in the peace conference.
Fight is Continued.
The Presidents decision was to
stay. He believed. he was convinced.
| that If League of Nations were once
established, set in motion, all else
would in the end resolve itself Mean
time, he would try, and he did try, to
obtain such notifications of Allied
claims as were possible. He contin-
ued to fight, notably in the case of
F1ume, for at least semblance of his
| program, of his Fourteen Points.
Nevertheless in the very nature of
things the league Of nations idea dis.
