ADVISING CHINA SOFT JOB

Why not be an adviser to China
with a good salary? All you have to
do to get such a sinecure, according
to Ellen N. La Notes "Peking Dust"
Century, is to have your government
bring little pressure to bear on
China. In a chapter Of her book writ
ten in Picking, Miss La Motto says:
There is a quaint custom here, which,
is far as know, is unique in the his
tory Of International relations. That
u the custom Of giving advice to
China. Any country can do it, appar-
emily. Any country that thinks China
would be benefited by little .disinter-
ested and helpful counsel can see that
she gets it-and, that she pays for II,
too. Any person. who wishes lucra-
tive position can get his government
to appoint him as an ADVISER to
China, and; his government viii see
to it that China pays him q salary.
As far as I know, China doee not ask
for this advice 1T Is thrust upon her
unsought. But she must pay for the
privilege, whether she likes It or not.
So over they come, these various 'ad-
visers' from various foreign nations,
and settle down here in Picking al the
Official advisers of this and that, and
draw their salaries from: this bankrupt
old government. Ths China Year Book
