alignment Of Powers have tended to
strengthen the hands Of rivals to the
PekiD Government. 1t is promoting
peaceful revolution in China which
may lead either TO a breakup OF the
country or possibly to compromise
among the various groups which will
result In China's presenting united
front In the coming conference.
DIR. Reinsch is now in New York con
ferring with Americans and Chinese
there interested in the future Of China.
Considering his tolerant and modest
statement in behalf of the Pekin Gov
ernment, this meeting may prelude II
getting together of various elements in
China preparatory to the conference.
IL China does not achieve some sort
of unity before the conference II will be
one of the tasks of the conference to
help her toward unity. No permanent
peace In the East Is possible with China
in the hands of rival Governments, one
secretly favored by japan and another
by England, and another. perhaps, by
the United States, and that is what Is
likely to be the result IL the present
drifting apart in China is allowed to
60 on.
Avoid Responsibility
IL the Central Government in Pekin
senses it's own weakness as clearly as
DIR. Reinsch in his statement, naturally
it will be unwilling to dispose of the
highly contentious Shantung dispute
upon its own responsibility. It desires
q settlement approved by the great Pow
ers and perhaps by the representatives
of the other Governments of China.
The japanese offer, il It is correctly
reported in the press, seems consistent
with the attitude of the other great
Powers to China. The making of such
an offer ut this time bears out reports
of the desire of Japan to set her house
in order in. the East and CO. operate
there with England and the United
States.

Because of the recent rains in the

according to Mr.. Kuhns He is not
anticipating that there will be. any
great difficulty in controlling any fires

The government foresters, however,
do not consider that the absence Of
large forest fires to date is entirely
due to favorable weather and timely
rains. Not only is the airplane patrol

they are small, but the protective for
