Problem Of China.
"He would be bold, indeed, VINO
would venture to offer a solution
Of the great problem of CHINA put
there are two thoughts that occur
to me-" ..a4
His first suggestion was that
the powers should agree to cease
their rivalry in China and act IN
concert on all matters pertaining
To that country, and his second was
that the powers should make up
their minds to be patient with
China.
"There is an old Chinese prov
erb," he said, (which declares
China must control foreigners by
utilizing foreigners, or to translate
the expression literally, otherwise
she must master the barbarians
with the help of the barbarians.
That policy she follows with skill
and cleverness, just as Turkey has
in the past played England against
Russia and England against Ger
many, and as that play led up TO
the ruin of Turkey. so Will the
powers rivalry in China lead to
the collapse Of that country II not
corrected.
Salvation OF China.
1.-THE salvation of China. there
fore, lies in bringing her to the
realization that the rest Of the
world will act as unit in dealing
with her. To begin with, let the
powers have enough Of self denial
not to give themselves up to vain
disputes among themselves, and
the next polite step in that direc-
ton is the international Censor
tium as shown by that in finan-
cial affairs. China has not yet &C.
cepted the consortium agreement
and personally do not believe sh'
would ever accept the idea of gen
eral international control. Inter
national control, moreover, must
be backed by armed force, II nee
essary and what powers would be
disposed to send armies to China ?
Would the powers give apan the
mandate to do so? If they would,
Japan will certainly hesitate to
accept this dangerous mission. or
the danger of such an undertaking,
Japan has learned enough"
Orderly Nation Necessary.
He declared that the contention
by some critics that Japan secretly
desired a weak and disorganized
China, was a ralsity. An orderly
China was necessary to Japan, po-
litically and comm ercially, he in
sisted, adding that he believed ia
pan would subscribe to any ra-
tional plan to fecure it. But Japan
he said, would look with extreme
disfavor on any group of western
powers obtaining a dominancy in
China to the exclusion OF Japan.
