Special Despatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD.

Washington. ID. c., June 4.
A resolution is to be introduced next
week in the House and later in the Sen
ate requiring the State Department to
transmit to Congress documents relating
to China, particularly regarding loans
made by the japanese to the Pekin Gov
ernment.
This step is TO be taken in connection
with the charges that the Yap contro-
versy and the California land cases are

forts to bring China under its domina-
ton in contradiction TO the open door
policy indorsed by the United States.
The action Is in a way a result of the
activity of the socalled Canton Govern
ment headed by President Sun Yat-Sen,
which asked the American Government
for recognition.
The charge Is made that Japan has
lent $500, 100000 in American money to
the Peking Government and to certain
military leaders in the north of China
to help the Pekin Government down the
revolutionary movement in Canton.

non-Socialists at Nla0i 1874 ok declare
that Semenoff's presence is not desired.
They say his activities are liable to dis
rupt "the promising anti -Bolshevist
movement"
While the flood of reports, largely
unverified. coming from Siberia makes
IL difficult 20 form an estimate OF actual
events, the adTices seem to polnt to
growing condition of chaos. This state
of affairs results from the activities
in the maritime province of anti-Bol-
shevist troops formerly led by the late
Gen. Kappell, and the movement north
ward from Kiakhta, near the Chinese
frontier, Of the anti-Bolshevist forces of
Cen Won Ungern-Sternberg. The last
named threatens to isolate Chita. the
capital of the Far Eastern Republic.
Meanwhile the peasants, whose homes
are generally distant from the railroads,
appear Indifferent to the struggle, seek
ing only to be forgotten and to escape
taxation.
Official reports are that Bolshevist
forces are concentrating at KhabarovslS
and Imam, together with troops Of the
Chita Government. The anti-Bolshevist
leaders regard this activity as prepara-
tion for an attempt to recover Nikosk,
which was taken recently by Kappell
forces.
Among rumors current in Toxic Is one
that anti-Bolshevists have captured

About the middle of the twelfth cen
fury few German merchants estab-
lished settlements about the mouth of
the Dvina, which empties into the Gulf
of Riga nine miles below the present
city of Riga. Whereupon Bishop Al
bert, in the role of missionary, sought
to c0lonize the territory In 1901 by
building town where Riga now
stands and the following year he
founded the Brethren of the Sword.
The new order was well named. II

though slaughter was not the main OBJ
ject after foothold on the promising
Baltic port was obtained. The mis-
sionaries" were satisfied to reduce the
native population to serfdom, APP
propriate the land, and build fortified
towns and castles to uphold this min
iature feudal system In land they
aimed to exploit.
But the LivOnians are a liberty low
ing people. They resisted despotism
then, and many times later, just as
a year or so ago they rebelled against
Bolshevism. When their early Oppres-
sors became too severe they arose and
drove out the missionaries" Later
LivOnia, and Riga, which became its
capital, espOused the Christian relig-
ion; and the Order of the Sword
merged with the Teutonic Knights and
continued to operate in other quarters.
Though Prussia's political hold was
shaken off Riga, 1t maintained its
economic ties there, and individual
Germans usually have been important
factors I'm its commerce. This phase
of German influence was consum-
mated when Riga. in the thirteenth
century, became member Of the
IIanseatic league, the first great trust
which for two centuries controlled
practically all the trade channels Of
continental Europe north of the Alps
The third modern aspect of medl-
eyal Riga is TO be found in the fam
Gus "Blackheads." 1t was this body
which soon came to have the civic i'm
portance, and apparently many Of the
functions, of chamber of commerce
or board Of trade today.
Originally it was organized by the
young traders who came 10 Riga, as
Il social club, to afford fellowship in
addition to the needful board and
lodgings during their sojourn. Since
the members were mostly young men,
progressive, and somewhat assertive,
they took their name to distinguish
themselves from their elders, or grey
boards. Naturally their table talk
turned to ways OF promoting business,
and soon the club became, In effect, an
organization for a Bigger, Better and
Buster Riga" as the modern trade body
would phrase it.
From the beginning Of the World
war Riga was an objective of the
Central powers, because of its impor-
lance as a focal point for the lumber
from White Russia and Volhynia, the
flax from northwestern Russia, and
other products from wide area with
which 1t has rail and water cOmmuni-
cation. Its pre-war prosperity is in
dicated by the growth Of Its popula-
ton from 1O2, 900 In 1867 to more than
100000 in 1913.
