Carroll Lunt, editor of the Chinese
Digest, lines out the Chinese politi-

But in fairness to the nationalistic
elements Of the country it is but just
to quote another editor, DR Charles

ney as well as editor and in this lat
ter role has had intimate contact
with DR.. G. T. Wang and other

Like Early U. S.
Not long ago DR.. Fox drew sim
liar parallel between the United
States and China, but his line of
thought was very different from that
of Lunt. To DIR. Fox, the present
story Of China is quite similar to the
past story Of the United States-a
story of financial difficulty, of a
weak central government, Of corrup-
ton in high places, but a story hav-
ing in it the germs of happy end
ing.
whereas Mr.. Lunt goes on TO
declare that $50 impossible would it
be In America to settle differences in

idea is ludicrous" DR.. Fox might
conceivably retort by pointing to the
American Civil War. But DIR. Fox's
chief neutrality-suspicious. because of
his connection as advisor at the now
somnolent Chinese tariff conference

foot by compulsorily low tariff du-

I'm the early days of the United

money whereby it might make itself
