Americnn Recognition Is
 First GOaI Of New China
By MORRIS J. HARRIS GA. p. correspondent)

SHANGHAI, July National ist China, torn by dissention but nominally unified. is. preparing to stake everything on one great prize, greater than Picking, greater than any of its military triumpns, American recognition.
 In the program of the leaders at Ranking the reconsideration phase of the revolution is at hand and they believe that their task would be aided enormously if the United States established formal diplomatic relations with thn new regime.
 All phases of the American pres ident.al campaign, particularly the candidacy of Secretary Hoover. are being watched with interest. The fact that the Republican nemi nee knew China in the Boxer days has caused wide speculation con cernlng his present attitude toward China and the whole Pacific quea- tion.
 A faction still exists which says that in 1900 when MT Hoover was an arbitrator between British and Chinese mining groups. his decis- ion went to the British. There is another faction which claims tha. this was the only possible decis- ion.
 The capture of Picking found China faced with the same problem of u1ification that has existed al most from time immemorial. At present the capital is at Ranking, for the Nationalists and their all lies, the Kuominchun of Felg Yu. hsiang and Yen Hsi-shan of Shan si, recognize that tactily as the seat of authority
 But the permanent attitude of Fend Yu-hsiang and Yen Hsi-shan remains to be revealed. They may accept the Ranking dictatorship or they may demand that the capital be removed to Picking. Their at titude on this question will be indicative of their general atti. tude toward the Ranking govern ment.
 The Ranking government IS nov faced with the problem of estab fishing it's asserted national au thority. If Ranking becomes the recognized national not National 'st. government by the provinces not foreign powers. China will in fact be united But if regional ism continues there will be more wars until China is centralized oi the rights of the provinces 10 re gional governments js recognized
