The EnsIavement of China

STA in 1907 and also with France. The
Anglo Japanese pact had been
preceded by one signed with the
United States in 1908.
WHAT was the purpose of these
W conventions?
One and ell recognized In words
the independence and territorial in
dependence of China" Almost the
identical phrases are contained in the
pact which guaranteed the neutrality
Of Belgium and which under pressure
Of military necessity the German gov
eminent declared in 1914 to be "a
scrap of paper"
But China had been worse than
Belgianized. Not only had she been
forced into position of neutrality in
conflicts that threatened her exist
ence as nation, but one section Of
her territory after another had been
allotted to this or that power WITH
OUT CHINA BEING CONSULTED.
TT was like band of burglars en-
tering a persons house, packing up
the valuables and furniture and divid-
ing the swag while the owner laid in
bed trembling but not daring to say a
word. But their trembling did not
prevent the Chinese doing a good deal
Of thinking.
Ali of these conventions were an i'm
portant part Of the Japanese plan for
consolidating her favored position and
legalizing the raids she had made on
Chinese territory. These documents
all contained a clause stating that
equal opportunities for the trade
and Industries of all nations" would
be observed. This was a verbal con-
cession to the open door" policy of
the United States which in turn was
a result of the fact that the United
States had not as yet succeeded in Sc
curing definitely recognized sphere of
influence, but had to make the best Of
1t in various districts in competition
with all Of the other imperialist
powers, japan in particular.
TT might be we'll to remark here that
4 an open door" policy for so-called
backward countries, when adopted by
one Of the great powers, indicates no
great flood of friendly feeling for the
natives of the backward nation as the
apologists Of American imperialism
are so found Of pointing out. 1t
means, simply that that particular
power has been unable to grab and
hold real base of operations for any
or all Of number of reasons and,
that like a boxer feeling out an op-
ponent, is merely sparring for an
opening. The Monroe doctrine, as ap-
piled to Mexico, Cuba, Central and
South America is a CLOSED door" pol
icy whose object is to prevent any
European power interfering with the
sphere of influence American imperial
ism has established there.
| OBVIOUS as these reasons giving
Orise to this policy are, nevertheless
it has fooled many Americans into be-
lieving that the American plumber
bund has no sinister designs in China.
1t has also fooled the Chinese, Just as
they were fooled first by a somewhat
similar policy on the part of Great
Britain and then by Russia. One only
needs to read the memoirs of Paul
Reinisch, ambassador to China under
Wilson, to see how American liberal
diplomacy" first fooled and then be-
trayed China.
But Japan, whatever else she may
have done, has made no pretense Of
liberalism. Her drive for power has
been open and no one has been de-

ceived as to her purposes, least OF all
the Chinese. In this connection one
writer says:
There has never been anything
sentimental In the foreign policy OF
Japan, and her statesmen have from
the first displayed a thoro appreoIa-
tlon Of the fact that treaties and
conventions between the great
powers may serve to conceal, but
not to hinder, the processes Of
geographical gravItatlon and the
Interior purposes Of statesmen.
q. o. P. Bland, "Recent Events and
Present Politics In China Page
1881
WHILE Japan had been busy ex-
" tending her sphere of influence
and bulwarking 1t with treaties con-
cluded with all the great powers. the
Chinese people had been taking the
first steps in the national liberation
movement that, is today, outside of
the rise of Soviet Russia, the most
important fact in world events.
The Manchu dynasty was over
thrown by the popular party led By
Sun Vat Sen and parliamentary gov
eminent established. Yuan Shih Kai
became ENTHUSIASTICALLY dictator.
Unpopular both with the Chinese
masses and with Japan, who remem-
bered his opposition to her in Korea
in 1882, Yuan Shih Kai received sup
port from no one except the military
chieftains he was able to bride. He
weakened China as a nation tempo
rarily, but the final result of his rule.
marked by mass murders and secret
assassinations. was to tremendously
strengthen the national revolutionary
party.
GUN VAT SEN, strange as It may
- seem, found asylum in Toxic from
the prosecutions of Yuan Shih Kai,
and in 1913 led another revolution
that laid firm foundations for the
Chinese natien, weak as yet but with
a definite form and purpose taking
shape.
This period ends with the world
war. 1t finds Japan the dominant
power in China altho Germany has
been increasing her influence steadily.
Great Britain remains a contender for
an important place in Chinese polit-
ical life principally because Of her al
lance with Japan. To both nations
Germany in China is the nation that
must be crushed.
The world war gave them their op-
portunity, but Great Britain paid a
huge price for the destruction Of Ger
man influence in the Pacific.
THE important position occupied by
Japan just before the world war is
described as follows by Bland:
BY virtue Of her geographical
situation and her new military pres
tlge, Japan could not only assert
prepohderant political Influence at
PekIng, but she could hope to push
her trade and Industries thruout
China in successful competition
with the European powers, her ally
included. ("Recent Events and Pres
ent Policies In China" Page 294.)
Japan first, Great Britain and Ger
many on an equal footing, the United
States third with France and Russia
occupying fourth place. This was the
position Of the great powers in China
when the still fiercer imperialist con-
ficts in other sections of the globe
caused Europe to burst into flames
in 1914.
What happened in and to China
during the world war will be told in

Japan became a world power after
y her victorious war on China in
1894. She came on to the continent
of Asia then on an equal footing with
the western imperialist nations.
In 1904 the growing rivalry between
Japan and Russia over commercial
and territorial concessions brought
hostilities and again Japan was vic
torlous.
The war was fought with that COM
plete disregard for the territorial in
tegrity of China that has marked all
the aggressions Of the great powers.
Both Russia and Japan violated
China's neutrality and she had finally
to agree to a war zone for the bel.
ligerents within her boundaries which
included territory hitherto outside the
spheres of influence of both powers.

sonian principle that ito the victors
belong the spoils"-a principle Of
American capitalist democracy that
the. Japanese rulers grasped very
readily-the victors not only took over
all actual Russian positions and
ousted the Muscovites from their
sphere Of interest but grabbed Lao
tung peninsula which had previously
been ceded back to China.
BY this simple process Japan be-
came the dominant power in the north
while still retaining her hold on
Fukien province in the south.

L piling the treaty as well as In the
territorial arrangements contained
therein, Chinese interests were en-
tirely disregarded. All negotiations
were carried on between the repre-
sentatives of Japan and Russia. When
both great powers had got the best
terms possible from one another only
then was the Chinese government
"consulted"-by handing her an
agreement drawn by Japanese diplo-
mats which she was told to sign.
This agreement specifically recognized
Japan's premier position in southern
Manchuria.
NOW began the systematic COLOMBIA
l ton of Korea by Japan. No longer
did Japan try to conceal her inten-
ton to take Korea by speaking with
tongue in cheek of the recognition of
Korean independence by China as in
the treaty following the Chino-Jap-
anese war. Instead the treaty stated
that Japan possesses in Korea para
mount political, military and economic
interests" Interference with them
would be construed as "an unfriendly
act"
Following the appointment of Count
Ito as resident general of Korea in
1906, protectorate was established
and by 1910, thru series of very open
maneuvers, Korea had become part
of the Japanese empire.

to the status of a second rate power
in the Pacific, and her now powerful
army and navy, Japan was not only
equal but superior to other powers in
