The Consortius1,


sortium, strange to the American
ear and arousing the suspicious CON-
monty felt against the unfamiliar,
is elucidatcd at some length by the
group Of bankers who compose the
American branch of the consortium
organization.
The consortium is in the nature
of financial league Of peace. The
principal nations which have eco-
nomic and financial relations with
China in times past have been under
constant temptation to compete
greedily for privileges-to their
own injury and to the dissatisfaction
of China. To end this unwholesome
rivalry financial groups Of the vari-
Gus nations said: "Let each of US
agree to cease grabbing and hence
forth cooperate" Hence the con-
sortium.
Under governmental auspices
banking groups in the United States,
Great Britain, France and Japan
came together and at a gathering in
New York on October Is, 1920,
adopted the consortiunl's constitu-
ton. This provided that the "open
door" principle should be respected
end that if China applied for loans
to carry through large economic de-
velopments the application should
not be to the fnanciers of particu-
lar countries but to the joint organ
ization, which would allot the appro-
pirate participation to it's members.
The financial statesmen were a year
ahead of the political statesmen in
striking at the heart of the Chinese
problem.
Some effort, a survival Of the ig-
norant and childish policy of Bryan
days, has been made to down the
consortium by attacking it as "dol-
lar diplomacy" But this time the
attempt to arouse prejudice failed.
1t is now generally recognized that
if China is to be helped there must
be dollar diplomacy. Intelligent
Chinese see that China's best pro-
lection against illegitimate exploit
tation is in dealing with lenders
through one agency.
But neither the consortium as a
whole nor any of its national
branches has funds of it's own to
advance. Each branch is merely a
clearing house or transmitting Of
flee. What can be loaned depends
on whether the investors are willing
to lend. The interest rate is the
market rate, neither harsh nor
lenient. Immense is the volume Of
pro-Chinese sentiment in this
country. A friendly feeling, of
course, is an excellent thing, but it is
no substitute for acts. How many
are willing to assist China by in
vesting in China, trusting her to
meet her obligations?
1t will be noted that the consor-
tium's membership is confined at
present to a small group of nations.
This is not because of desire to
exclude other nations, but because
the other nations have not the finan-
cial power or the willingness to in
vest in China. Again do the finan-
cial statesmen point out the path of
progress to the political statesmen,
for league of peace, it is becoming
increasingly obvious, must contain
the countries possessed of power.
