n Demands Now History.
There is now nothing 60 be discussed
about the twenty-one demands, except TO
say that they are buried in the grave Of
history. The treaties resulting from
those demands give Japan only two-
thirds OF what she asked for. They
were concluded after a deIiberation OF
five months. rf their validity Is 10 no
disputed seven years after their con-
clusion, Japan may have TO ask China
to scrap many OF the treaties and agree
ments she has concluded with other for
elgn Powers in circumstances similar TO
those in which the Chino Japanese
agreements of 1915 were born.
For China TO dispute the validity of
those treaties would be the most sinister
practice OF diplomacy. In 1918. that Is
almost four years after the signing of
the treaties OF 1915. China took ad-
vantage OF these treaties and asked
japan to advance n handsome sum on
projected railways In Shantung. This
negotiation was initiated by the Chinese
Government. The result was that the
Japanese Government persuaded Toxic
bankers 70 advance sf0.000,000 gold 20
China in September, 1918. BY this deal
China not only confirmed the validity of
tho treaties OF 1918. but derived material
benefit from them.
Now she comes TO Washington blandly
disputing their validity. IL this Is not

ing in the fifth century, not only do
mated Libraries throughout China and
Turkestan but furnished workmen for
the Job. Like Carnegie, the Chinese
philanthropist insisted that his name be

that his portrait should be hung back of

Special Despatch to THE New YonK Hnssrp

Washington, ID. O., Dec. Is.
The infection of the so-called twenty
one demands into the conference should
not be taken seriously. The Chinese
delegates themselves are not taking IL
seriously. It is the old game Of play
ing to the gallery, or, maybe. OF passing
the buck.
II China were guided. not by purblind
immature youths. but by statesmen of
vision. courage and sound sense. she
would realize the folly of the nagging
and pin prickins attitude she is taking
toward Japan, but would see the wisdom
OF burying the hatchet and shaking
hands with Japan, to which she is bound
by ties OF racial and cultural similarity
and whose cooperation she would In
the end have to seek. A far seeing.
courageous China might say to Japan
somewhat like this:
Japan, we do not like some of the
things you have done to us In recent
years. We want you TO mend your
ways, and undo some Of the bad things
you have done. At the same time. we
realize our past mistakes in dealing
with you.
I'VE admit that It was China which
provoked the war OF 1896 over Corea-
We confess we invited Russia to Man
churia for the purpose of defeating you
and wreaking vengeance upon you. It
was due to our intrigue that you had
70 fight Russia and stake your very ex-
lstence upon that struggle. You had to
sacrifice a hundred thousand lives and
a. billion dollars because OF our folly
and intrigue. We repent our sin.
wouIS validate Lease.
I'VE will not ask you to give up the
leased territory at Dairen or the South
Manchurian Railway as long as the lease
of nlnety-nine years, acquired by treaty
lasts. Moreover, we will cooperate with
Won in the economic development o.
Manchuria, for we appreciate your pre-
djcament due TO lack OF raw materials
in your country.
ION your part, you must give up the
policy OF aggression TO which youi
mllitarists have been inclined. You must
be more considerate and sympathc
toward us. We are neighbors. We are
of the same culture and blood. Let us
be friends. and cooperate with each other
for the shaping OF Asia's destiny
II China takes this attitude Japan will
be more than glad to accept the overture
II would, of course, be fine for China u
Japan could be altruistic enough to with
draw completely from Manchuria. Blu,
that would be asking japan TO perform
the impossible. Remember that every

Special Despatch to THE NEW Yosx HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. C., Dec. 10.
Swiftly the conference approaches the
end of a great work. Its last days are
given to the puzzle of the world: What
is China?" More than twenty years ago
John Hay turning the knob of the open
door, confessed to friend: About
China, 1t is the DEVILS own mess We
cannot possibly publish all the facts
without breaking Off relations with sew
eral Powers" Possibly atth forgotten
estimate may supply a hint OF the
troubles of the peacemakers laboring
over the salvation of China behind the
guarded bronze doors OF the Pan-Amer-
lean Building.
This conference of nations faces the
Chinese problem with more sympathy
and will to compromise than has ever
been the case with previous parliaments.
Whatever is done China will have gained
new rights. the diplomats say. One of
the greatest difficulties is that China
herself does not know what she has
pledged herself to do with the many
foreign nations. For hundreds OF years
her rights have been signed away by
corrupt or incompetent officials. The
result is a tangle OF foreign interests
battling even to the direct diplomacy of
Hughes. To-day diplomats familiar
with Chinese affairs maintain that the
country is incapable of exercising and
maintaining sovereignty. A philosophy
teaching for thousands Of years that
pacifism is cardinal virtue has pro-
duced little interest in the country.
Beautiful but impracticable ideals, lack
of national consciousness and swarms
Of grafters have brought China low.
The delegates are able, honest men, fired
with ZEAL but they are trying to correct
all at once the weaknesses of fifty CEN
turtles imbedded In 400000,000 people.
Moreover they represent less than half
of China, the weaker of the two ,uarreI-
ling Governments.
Mochizuki. Independent Japanese
leader, sincerely interested in human
ity. thinks that the result of the con-
ference will be the eventual selection Of
an international commission to study
ways and means OF establishing stable
Government, establishing a stable cur
rency and disseminating education and
Western thought In the interior DR..
Fang Hua Huang, secretary of the Chi
nese delegation, representing the Pekin
Government, says there il no real reason
why China cannot be unified and the
Pelxin and Canton Governments united
with sympa thetic help from the Western
Powers. "The principal difference be-
tween the PelSin Government and the
Canton Government" he says, "is that
one believes In great Capitalization of
power. the other in as little as possible,

parties in the United States'
