And now with a sense of surprise we find
ourselves confronted by modern self-conscous

very rapidly and demanding to speak on equal

living Chinese nation has appeared in the world.
Perhaps the most striking thing about the
present Chinese situation is this that it is not
apparently the work of any single man. the
consolidation and reconstruction of China that
has made such rapid progress in the last ~
months has not gone under the direction of
some strong -Jowled hero of the Diaz or Mus

dynasty fell and China became a republic and
fell into all the violent diversions and dissen-

Let try to realize in the most general

Moreover, we were given to understand that
the Chinese of all ages and sexes preferred
work to any other form of enjoyment and
found an almost infantile pleasure in living
exactly on the margin of subsistence. And
they were cruel, very cruel. Ingenious in a
way Their artistic productions amused us

Newspaper men who were sleuthing
around the War Department a few
days ago, trying to find out the num-
Der of troops leaving for the Next
can border, are now looking up Mex
lean arbitration laws. There is to
be no war with Mexico, and the pc
troleum controversy has boiled down
to either arbitration or a legal strug
gle in the Mexican courts, with a fair
chance of American companies coming
out on top. Nicaragua also has sub
sided, with Admiral Latimer sitting
on the lid and preventing the Liberals
from receiving arms, food or mes
sages.
Talk Of arbitration has been pro-
miscuous during the week. but, aside
from relieving the tension between
the two countries, arbitration is still
hazy. In the first place no one agrees
on what should be arbitrated and how.
The two countries have agreed on
arbitration only in principle.

wider, greater lands is something much more
remarkable, something new in history, a phe

sistent steady. successful policy by an or
ganized association This Koumintang in
China, in far it is an organized assocla-
ton, is curiously parallel to the Communist
party which, standing behind the quasiparlla-
mentary sovlets restrained such dangerous adj
venturers as Zinovieff and defended its frontiers
against incessant foreign aggression for nine
long years.
We shall be extraordinarily foolish If we do
not attempt to realize the significance of this
novel method of controlling government which
has broken out over two of the greatest politi-
