granted In China, by foreigners and
Chinese alike. that an understand
Ing had been reached IN Toxic
between the gallant msrshal and the
japanese government. The proof
would appear TO be the lack Of
interest In Paris concerning the
four power pact.
Tinis for Reconstruction.
s II France had not concluded an
agreement with the Nipponese. she
would have been just AZ anxious
10 arrive at an understanding with
the powers about her possessions
In the Orient as either America
or England.
The time has arrived for q recon
sideration of the four power pact, as
well AZ other decisions OF the Wash
ington conference, and our habit
of covering real issues should be
rectified in the reconsideration.
The four-power pact was intended
TO replace the Anglo-Japanese al
lance. Two nations were opposed
70 this alliance. America and
China. and their feelings were sup
posedly assuaged by the conclu.
sion OF another instrument. But
was China really satisfied with
the new' pact? And ID II likely to
lead to harmony In the Pacific?
: China's attitude is based on her
sovereignty. She objected to the
Anglo-Japanese alliance because II
dealt with her country without
her consent and participation.
Therefore, IL was an affront to
her dignity and q reflection on her
sovereignty. The new treaty does
not include China among the
signatories, but II must be apparent
from q look at the map, where you
will see China lying like a. great
whale across the Pacific. that an
understanding about Pacific ques.
tions must deal with China even II
she Is not specifically mentioned
Therefore, China should have been
one Of the parties.
It may he argued that such a
claim is absurd In view of the
rating of China as a second-class
power. But i seem to recall that
one of the notices Of the new
world was that the equality Of ma.
TONS IL not based on power or
force, but on a common interest.
Has No Illusion.
In the settlement of any Far
Eastern dispute, China would be al
most a witness before the powers
in any case, only a spectator at the
discussions. China is under no iIlu
sions.
1t is essential that. America keep
her friendship with China in con.
slant repair. as DIR. johnson would
say. China Is the greatest neu.
tralixing force in the Far East, and
II we start making compacts about
her, we are in Just as much danger
Of losing her loyalty as II we were
an imperialistic power with aspira.
tions against her integrity.
II must not be forgotten that
China looks upon us as her only
friend against the rapacity Of the
big nations. particularly Japan. In
