II we add to all that the 500 mil

by the British and mainly American
bankers, if we further remember that
the conference was commanded by
bankers, notably by American bank

Dlete: French supremacy has received
a knockout blow, French supremacy
have given way to American supre-
macy.
Such are the results of the London
conference.
Some believe on this ground that
henceforth the conflict OF interests
within Europe will fade before the
spectre of American supremacy; that
America, interested in exporting ca
pital to Europe, will be able to- put
the European countries on a ration
and force them to sit still in the name
OF the. enrichment of their bankers;
that peace in Europe, tho compulsory,
may, therefore, be considered more
or less warranted for some consider.
able period.
This belief is entirely erroneous.
First, because the conference set
tied the question of Germany with
out the party chiefly Interested, with
out the. German people You may, Of
course. plan the conversation of Ger

attempt to make a colony out Of a
country such as German, now that
even the backward colonies are held

mine.
Secondly, the conference put back
in her place too far advanced France,
which naturally gave England the
upper hand in Europe. However, to
think that France can reconcile itself
to British supremacy means to dis
regard the logic of things, which
usually proves to be stronger than
any other logic.
Thirdly, the conference recognized
American supremacy. But American
capital is interested in financing the
Franco-German industry, in the most
rational use Of this industry. for in
stance, in the spirit Of combining
French iron with German coal It can
hardly be doubted that American cap

will reconcile itself to this situation
means not to know England, means
not to know to what an extent Eng

such as the Shanghai-P elting railroad.
In the last war between Chang Tso

Of the Turner threatened the destruc-
ton Of the STRENGTHENING railroad,
the imperialist powers declared that
none OF the warning armies would be
permitted to enter the so-caIled nen-
trail railroad zone. AS a result of this
order, Chang Ts0 Lin was compelled
to withdraw his armies from Shang-

IN the last war the great powers at

Recent CHANCES in China - .:

N 7 first sight recent changes in
N Picking would be hard to explain
However, those who are more or less
familiar with the Chinese situation
will very we'll understand the signi-
fcance OF what happened in Picking.
THE writer Of these lines. while re-
/ siding in China some two years
ago, expressed the opinion that for a
clear understanding of the FIXTURE Of
China, it was necessary to follow the
policies and activities Of the Chris
tian General Fenghu-Ysiang And
only recently. while in London, the
writer expressed the opinion that it
would be impossible to appreciate cor
rectIy the Chinese situation until the
plans Of Fenghu-Ysiang become more
apparent.

phiies. It seems that Chang Tso Lin
the worst enemy Of WI Pei Flu, is be-
hind Fenghu-Y siang. in spite Of the
declaration OF the latter that he is
acting independently Of any other or
ganized group in China. tt is also a
fact that Sun Vat Sen, the most popu--
lar figure in presentday China, the
representative of the truly national
movement Of China, in his struggles
against the reaetionary alliances head
ed by WI Pei Flu, is sympathetic to
the change made by Fenghu- Ysiang
What does it all mean?
TOR a correct understanding of Chin
| csc events, it is necessary always
to have in mind that the Chinese gen
erals, who are constantly warning with
each other. are not only agents Of one
or another of the great imperiaIist
powers, or groupings Of them, but are
also conducting an independent strug-
gle of their own for power.
TIE Chinese armies are made up Of
/ mercenaries. In order to main
tain and equip such an army, every
general must control some source Of
local income, because the general in
come of the federal government is
completely taken away by the foreign
imperialists. And in order to control
such local incomes, one must domi-
nate politically and also in military
sense certain Chinese territory Up
to now, the division Of territorial con-
troll ran something like this: The
South, with it's center in Canton, was
controlled by Sun Vat Sen Central
China having Picking as it's head
quarters, was controlled by WI Pei
Flu, while Chang Tso Lin dominated
the North and also Manchuria The
lesser generals would vaciIlate be-
tween one or the other of the bigger
generals, in decisive moments de-
finitely going over to one or the other
of the larger military groupings

eventually also 10 the SOVIET govern
ment. Ii nothing interferes, he will
continue to consolidate his power and
to assume the vacant place OF WI
Pei Flu.
XKTILL he succeedg We don't think
Wv SO. The time is past for the
success Of single generals imposing
their power upon certain sections of
China The nationalist movement for
the unihcation of China, led by Sun
Vat Sen, has recently scored great
victories. The prestige Of Soviet Rus
STA, which supports this movement,
has also grown considerably. No Chin
csc government can now afford to ig-
more Sun Vat Sen or Soviet Russia.
On the other hand. even Japan, who
will acquire great influence in Chinese
affairs, will not be able to ignore the
will of Soviet Russia, because her own.
interests dictate policy Of friend
ship to us.
XkFE may therefore conclude that
wv whatever the desires Of the par
Elephants in the present events in
China. the objective historical develop
ments will compel them to move in
the direction of the national unifca-
ton Of China and its liberation from
the oppression Of foreign Imperialism.
Considered from this point OF view,
the coup detat of Fenghu-Ysiang is a
step forward and in the right direc-
ton.
