this has ever happened in the whole of
Chinese history.

the Chinese. If the schoolboys are

Japan so great? What has made it SO
great? It Is simply that Japan has pro-

years-the voice of the new generation.
Who is this Andre Tardieu? one may
ask. With what authority does he speak
so authoritatively?
Knows Own Strength.
The answer is that Tardieu speaks
with the authority of a man who knows
his own strength, who has subjected
himself with rare sternness to prepara-
ton for the role he is now called on to
assume, who speaks, last of all, with the
authority of a man who has bided his
time That perhaps is of the greatest
significance of alE-he has been strong
enough to bide his time.
For three years Tardieu has been
known in Paris as "the coming man of
France" He has known, just as his as
sociates in the Chamber have known,
that it was question of time when he
would be called to the premiership. But
Tardieu has never sought the position
nor forced the issue. In the quiet man
me- of a man who knows his strength
he has let nature and events take their
course. Perhaps one cannot better pic
ture him, taking due note of his pene-
trating eye, his sharp aquiline nose, his
firm. determined mouth beneath closely
cropped mustache, than in the derisive
words of Socialist opponent:

China's Internal Troubles Blamed
On Neglect of Confucian instruction

Civil war and other internal strife
will continue in China so long as the
Nationalist government prohibits the
study of the Confucian classics in the
schools and universities" according to
Or. Chen Huan-chang. president of
the Confucian University and the Con-
fucian Association of Psiping.
The scholar deplored the neglect of
the classics in his country. He said
Japan's greatness was due in large part
to the many generations of encourage
ment of the study of Confucian doc
trineS.
DR.. Chen said:
I'm China there is a national re-
ligion, namely, Confucianism. For over
1000 years Confucianism has been
made the state religion of China, and
since Confucianism has had no objec-
ton to other religions, China has given
freedom of belief to all faiths.
Historical facts tell us that Confuci-
anism is the foundation of Chinese ma
tional life.
Whenever Confucianism was pro-
NOTED by the government the national
life f1ourished. Whenever Confucian-
ism was neglected by the government
the national life decayed. Because the
people who possess good nature given
by God, are nearly the same characters
IN different ages, they have always be-
lieved in Confucianism without changes
at any time. The responsibility for the
troubles of the nation falA upon those
who control the government.
For instance, during the best times
OF the Han, the Tang, the Sung, the
Wing and the Ching dynasties, when
Confucianism was encouraged, the Chi
nese nation was very prosperous. Dur
ing the Southern and Northern dynas-
ties and the Five dynasties when Con-
fucianism was not observed, China was
torn by civil wars. In fact Chinese
national life depends absolutely on Con-
fucianism. If you do not know what
will be the political condition of China
you can Judge from the attitude of the
government toward Confucianism.
For more than 90 centuries the
Chinese studied Confucian books In
school, from their childhood. It was
this that made China so great In the
past. Now, since the death of Yuan
Shih-kai, the government, against the
will OF the great majority of the people,
prohibited the reading of Confucian
books IN all the primary, secondary and
high schools.
Even In the so-called universities
there is practically no teaching of CHI

Treasury of France
Dangerously Filled

1t can be as dangerous for state to
be too rich as TO be penniless. At least
this is the opinion of certain French
newspapers, which advance fearless
arguments to convince the finance
minister of the urgent necessity of re-
ducing taxes. The French treasury, in
deed. appears now to be very rich. Its
balance in the Bank Of France and its
various immediately available assets
amount to more than 1000 900, 600.
Such a lot of money" says these
papers, could attract revolutionary
party. What is most urgently needed
for a triumphant revolution is money,
If revolutionaries of any kind-Right
or Left-upset the present Republican
apple cart they would find all they
could want in the vaults Of the republic
And money is the backbone OF revolu-
ton as of war
These papers recall that when Napo-
leon Sd made his coup d'etat in 1852,
he found only $4,000 900 in the second

seem more remunerative to supersede
the third republic. But there are no
more Napoleons in France, and popu-
larity is perhaps more necessary to
aspiring rulers than money. The French

luton, worry little about the tempting
opulence Of their treasury.

BRAND had made what has been ac-
claimed as the greatest Chamber speech
in his long career. What could this
young premier, IA years his Junior. say
that BRAND had not already better

Tardieu stood there-confident, good
humored, smiling. He spoke, his words
flying to the mark like bullets. First to
the Deputies of the Right and then to
the Left he directed his fire, but always
without malice, always without recrim-
ination. 1t was, as one French observer
said, new political language. 1t was
young realism, common sense.
Let us keep up our doctrines" said
Tardieu in closing. Let us keep our
parties but let us work together, be-
cause France must go on"
Right, Center and Left alike leaped to
their feet in a tumult of applause as

Chamber put to shame all political
prophets by giving the Tardieu ministry

Because they did not like the food

the Yangtze River and because the
ships compradore or general business
manager refused to give them any
money, a group of Nationalist soldiers
held an impromptu meeting and adopt

and its terms were carried out When
the captain and his chief officer saw
