 said In part:
 Any one who knows of the stu.
 pendous changes that are going or
 in China today. and can get sui.
 ticiently comprehensive view of the
 situation as a whole to descern the
 main currents and tendencies, can-
 not but be concerned with the fact that here is situation of major lmportance-what happens in China will affect the whole world. Dr.
 fimotAy. T'ing-fang Lew of Yen- ching university, Peking, is an un- usually keen and fair minded oh- server. He has answered this aues- tion. Is China Going Red?' and to his answer We may we'll give heed.
 TO get the situation before us, Dr. Lew asks and answers certain other questions. First. how far has red influence gone in the last few years in China? The red influence in China has been chiefly from Rus sian sources, and has been exerted ln several ways:
 Through Russian advisers 10 the nationalist government. It is no new practice. this inviting and hiring foreign advisers to the Chinese gov- enrment-it has been the custom of Chinese governments for 30 years past. Some advisers have been good and have worked for the interests Of China; some have proved to be bad, and China has not profited if she has followed their advice. Nor have these advisers been Of one na- tfonality. They have been British, French. German, Japanese and American. as we'll as Russian. The nationalist government has adisers of various nationalities-Iast May one of the American advisers to the nationalist government was on the ship on which we returned to the states. Within the past two years there is no question but that the Russian advisers did sprinkle some red in the nationalist govern. ment. There was one marked diff ference. however: the advisers of other nationalities when called to China are under extra-territorial protection; if they do something which the Chinese government does not like. 1t cannot call them to ac- the only thing it can do Is to pay their transportation back to their homeland and dismiss them. It was not so with the Rus sian advisers, however, for they Were under no such protection. China would deal with them as with Chinese subjects. So naturally 1 lhey had to be more careful in what they did. |
 Ammunition on Credit
 Through loans to the nationalist government. Russian influence was somewhat extended. Not only the 'ctual loan Of money. but the sup plying of ammunition on credit This Is nothing new, and nothing n which Russia alone has engaged. or Chinese militarists have bought rom people of other natfonalities. ncludins Americans It is true that ome of the powers have now agreed o prohibit the sale of munitions to ,hinese factions, and yet a great leal of smuggling of munitions is 'oing on. and the powers do not top It.
 Russian influence has been ex- rted through direct propag ganda in favorable to the oviet form of government, carried n largely through the agents of he Third 1nternationale. and effec- i've chiefly among the student
