TINE Germans had allowed the

it's customs depot at Tsingtao instead
of at Kiaochow, the boundary of the
German-leased territory. Joint stock
companies composed OF Chinese and
German investors had been formed
to carry on the enterprises which Ger
man capital conducted. Germany had
gone farther than any other power in
making concessions to China as a ma
tional entity and the treaty ceding
Kiaochow to Germany contains this
clause not found in the treaties be-
tween China and the other powers:
Should Germany at some future
time express the wish to return
Klaochow to China before the ex-
piratlon Of the lease, China engages
to refund to Germany the expend-
ture she has incurred at Klaochow
and to cede to Germany a more
suitable place. Germany engages
at no time to subIet the territory
leased from China to another
power.

The EnsIaVement of China gVm5

NREAT BRITAIN and Japan had
" not the excuse that Germany's
Chinese policy was an aggressive one
or that she was in any way infringing
on their spheres Of influence and
deliberately jeopardizing peace in the
Far East" On the contrary, the man.
ner in which Germany attended to
her own business and kept within her
sphere is one of the wonders of the
history of Imperialism in China. Pro-
fessor Hornbeck, in tho work already
quoted, says of this phenomenon:
Since the original seizure Of klao-
chow the Germans had made no ad-
ditonal attempt to extend their ter
rltoriaI holdings or special prIVl-
Ieges In China. They had not I'M
dertaken to extend their ADMIN
ISTRATIoN over Shangtung-or
even over the railway zone. The
Shangtung Railway company had
never attempted to assume a poIit-
lcaI status and perform political
functions. The German government
had not sought to stretch the terms
Of the convention Of 1898. There had
been no creating of issues and de-
handing Of Immediate settlement
such as had characterized the pro-
gress Of the Japanese In Manchuria.
German subjects had not exceeded
their stipulated rights; they had not
invaded the interior; they had not
become engaged In personal and po-
lice conflicts with the Chinese. There
was In the later years Of German
presence In Shangtung little of
which from the point Of view OF
the open door policy, complaint
could be made. For ten years past
the Germans had done practically
nothing calculated to eompIIeate the
politics of the Far East, and, ex-
cept commercially, they disturbed
no peace in the Far East but the
peace Of mind of Japanese expan-
sionlsts. Judged upon the basis Of
substantial accomplishment, sue
cessfuI and just administration and
real social welfare to the economic
and social welfare Of the people who
fell within the range Of their in
fluence, none Of the powers holding
bases on the China coast can offer
better justification for Its presence
than could the Germans. Emphasis

ing of this phase of the agreement
Gilbert Reid, in China, Captive or
Free7" says:
Article outlines two Intentions
In tho mind of the Chinese emperor,
the one ITO strengthen the friendly
relations between China and Ger
many" and the other ITO Increase
the military readiness Of the Chinese
Empire" This particular feature Of
the contract has been overlooked by
most war critics. TsIngtao was
never meant by either party as a
menace to China (tho possibly it
might be construed as a menace to
JAPAN but as an auxiliary agency
In the Chinese plans for national
defense. Hence not only German
troops were to be allowed free
passage" In the leased zone, but
Chinese troops were to be allowed
to be stationed within that zone.
ONE glance at map of China with
Shangtung peninsula and the forti-
fed base of Tsingtao at its tip, point
ing like a sword straight northwest at
the heart of the Japanese protectorate
of Korea, and the reason for the ex-
tension Of the world war to Asia by
Japan, acting as an ally Of Great
Britain, is clear.
1t was not only the German compe-
tition and German territorial rights
that worried Japan, but the fact that
Tsingtoa, with Chinese troops allowed
to gaze longingly across the bay to-
wards Korea and Liaotung-Japan's
loot in two wars-together with the
revival of Chinese national spirit fol
lowing the revolutions of 1911 and
1913, constituted a threat her i'm
perialistic ambition could not brook.
CHINA must be. brought to heel and
~ so much the better if two birds
could be killed with one stone-Ger-
many in China obliterated with the
help of Great Britain and Korea and
Manchuria freed from the menace of
Chinese nationalism.
The bringing of the war to Asia
thru the British-Japanese attack on
Tsingtao is as coldblooded an example
Of the might is right policy of i'm
perialism as history furnishes. That
1t was done in violation of China's
formal neutrality in the war and in
spite also of her desire that hel
friendly relations with Germany be
not endangered is testimony to the
efficient manner in which she had been
weakened and cowed.

Twin CITY REDS
TO MAKE MERRY
ON NEXT SUNDAY
Several Good Speakers
on the Program

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June To- The
Twin Cities section of the Trade
Union Educational League will hold
the first labor picnic of the season at
West River Road and 34th Ave. South,
Minneapolis, on Sunday, June IA.
The fine program of speakers,
games and other amusements which
has been arranged, together with the
fine picnic site so easily accessible
from both cities make assurance of a
huge crowd of workers and their fam
lilies.
ALI kinds of refreshments and
lunches will be served on the grounds
beginning at IL, in the forenoon.
The principle speaker will be Otto
H. Wangerin, who has recently re-
turned from Europe where he studied
the organized labor movement. He
will speak on the subject of "Europ-
can Trade Unionism." This leader of
progressive unionism has a message
that workers will want to hear.
Julius F. Emme, of the Machinists'
Union, known for his progressive lead
ership thruout the labor movement
of Minnesota, will speak on what
Has Happened to the American
Unions"
Future Trade Union Policy" will
be the subject of a speech by Dan

fighter in the labor movement OF
Minneapolis, was for seventeen years
secretary of the Minneapolis Trades
and Labor Assembly, recently ex'
PEELED from that body because he be-
came too progressive, and candidate
for mayor of Minneapolis in the last
election, on the Communist ticket.
A novel program of games has been
planned. 1t includes such attractions
as a pie eating contest, fat mems
race, needle race, potato race, wheel
barrow race, three-legged race, and
other amusements and numerous
games for younger people and chill
dren. Pie eaters and specialists in
other games had better go into train

Britain were determined to wipe out
this rival outpost.
In spite of the offer Of the Chinese
government to neutralize all the ports
held by the great powers, the jap
anese press insisted on action. 1.-THE
war in Europe gives wings to the
tiger" they stated.
Germany consented to the Chinese
proposal and preparations were being
made by the German minister, when
this plan was refused by the allied
imperialist governments, to place
Kiaochow completely under Chinese
control.
This was the one thing that, altho
assuring peace in the Far East, Great
Britain and Japan did not want. Had
Germany coded Kiaochow to China
BEFORE the allies could strike. It
would have belonged to China and IL
taken by either nation would have
involved a still more brazen disre-
grad of Chinese rights than did the
opening of hostiHties against Tsingtao
ON August Is, 1914, Japan sent the
~ German government an ultimatum
which contained these clauses:
Flrst-.To withdraw Immediately
from Japanese and Chinese waters
erman-men-of-war and armed YES
sells Of alIaklnds, and to dIsarm at
once those that cannot be with
drawn.
Second-To deliver on q date not
later than September is to the I'm
perlaI Japanese authoritless without
condition or compensation, the en-
tire leased territory of kIaoohow,
with view Of the eventual restora-
tlon Of the same to China.
TN view of the fact that the Ger
mans were trying to give Kiaochow
to China at the very moment this ulti-
matum was delivered, the purpose Of
the demand is quite clear-not to ex-
pedite the redemption of Kiaochow,
but to prevent it.
The rapid interchange of communi-
cations between Great Britain and
Japan in this period is one Of the
most interesting studies in ways that
are dark in all the annals Of impe-
rialist diplomacy.
The disputed question Of whether
Great Britain or Japan was to blame
in bringing the war to China and for
the long anu thorny path the Chinese
were forced to tread subsequently
will be treated in another article.

The Yellow Cab Co. of Chicago is
running this month, contest open
to all drivers who are able to stand

pay, to rest up. Seventy-five other
prizes are offered as bait including

who only show will have to rest up
at their own expense.
No driver will be allowed to work
more than sixteen hours per day, ac-
cording to the rules, but 1t is well
known among the drivers that the
winner will have to drive about
twenty hours each day for a month.
Oht near Casualty Meto DCcn uAOl-
ficially reported. A driver speeding
east on Lawrence avenue, asleep at
the wheel, was only saved from a
watery grave by the high curb on
Clarendon avenue. The experience,
strangely enuf, did not turn him
from his desire to win the car.
Drivers have been discussing the
amount the company can expect to
clear from this lottery. 1t was gem
orally agreed that the boss will pocket
$4,000 in increased profits for this
month.
It is also generally understood by
the drivers that the winner will have
invested several hundred dollars in
turned in fares, to make up for time
lost when he can find no passengers.
With many close running contestants
freely spending their own money for
riding imaginary passengers, the
company stands to win not only their
usual share OF the receipts, but the
drivers commission, too.
