China Demands Sovereignty

conditions are materially better than
thev were in 1927. The Nationalist
government at Marking, while it has
been able to speak in foreign affairs Tor
China as a whole, is not in position TO
establish effective internal control.
Within the last two months 1t mas bare
ly saved itself from complete overthrow
at the hands of rebellious generals.
DESPITE the continuance of these I'M
favorable conditions the Marking gov
eminent announced a few days before
the end of the year that all extraterr1to-
rial rights would cease on January /,
1880. and that after that date all per-
sons residing in China should be subject
to Chinese Jurisdiction.
Good Faith Is gnquestioned.
1t is not necess 20 question the
good intentions nor re good faith OF
the officials of the Marking regime. The
fact remains that their power Is limited
and none too secure. A revolt against
their authority may be renewed at any
time and with success. This means that
such foreign communities as those at
Shanghai. Tientsin or Hankow might at
any time come under an inchoate Chi
nese law administered by an irresponsi-
BILE Chinese war lord the powers
should once acquieSce in the cancella-
ton of treaty rights by China. AS long
as that possibility, certainly as long as
that probability. remains, 1t is not Ekeiy
that the United States or any OF the
other great powers will surrender their
extraterritorial rights.
There is nothing of Imperialism here.
The powers are concerned with the ade-
ouate protection of their nationals and
their property purely juristic matter.
Extraterritoriality has no political value
for them. On the contrary, they would
be glad to rid themselves OF the irrita-
ton caused by the continuance-but not
at the cost of the greater conflicts which
would inevitably arise II the foreigners
in China were subjected to the processes
of Chinese law and it's administration
in the present stage of its development.
So much for the attitude Of the for
eigners who enjoy extraterritorial rights.
For the Chinese, extraordinarily has
a quite different significance. 1t Is one
of the outstanding encroachments upon
the sovereign rights of China. It Is of
a piece with the foreign control of the
customs, foreign concessions and settle
ments, foreign territorial leases and
spheres Of influence and all of the par
aphernalia of foreign political and
financial penetration in China. Abuses
Of extraterritoriality have contributed to
the effectiveness of this penetration.
For the Chinese, therefore. the abolition
Of extraterritoriality is a political issue
Of the first magnitude.
Sentiment Is Crystallized.
The accession to power of the Nation
alist party and its establishment Of
the national government at Marking
two years ago marked the final crystal
lization OF Chinese nationalist sentiment
~ tYNRtHIAn
Many Of the leaders Of modern China
were schooled in universities of the
United States or Europe and have been
thoroughly indoctrinated with the ten
cts of nationalism. They demand full
sovereignty for China and the surren-

their eagerness to modernise their. juris-
prudence have naturally gone to the
codes Of other modern nations. These
subject foreigners to the same law and
the Jurisprudence Of the same courts
as the natives of the country concerned.
This is just what the great powers
refuse to do in China, regardless Of
the modernization Of the Chinese law,
unless the methods of administration
of that law are also placed upon a
modern" basis. So far China has been
unable TO accomplish this, and there Is
no means Of judging accurately how
long 1t will be before she can do so.
Rome Is Pointed to as Example.
There is in the worlds history an
outstanding example of a country which
had to face the problem Of dealing with
foreigners on a juridical basis different
form that of its own citizens. Fortu-
nately, it Is an example which China
can follow without derogation Of its
own dignity. It Is the Roman Empire.
A Roman citizen was subject to Roman
law. For the great number Of foreign
traders and foreign travellers in the en-
pire there grew up a second system OF
rules known as the jus gentirn. Not
only was 1t distinct body Of law, but
it was applied by a special judicial off1-
Ger, the praetor peregrinus, who heard
all cases in which foreigners were in
volved. Nevertheless, he was a Roman
official and applied q law to which
Rome gave its sanction.
Prof. Shotwen suggests the study Of
this device Of ancient Rome as q pos
sible precedent for China In the present
situation. BY adopting modern codes
China will meet the justifiable require
ments Of the foreign powers as to the
body of law to be applied to their ma
tionals. BY establishing special courts
for the administration Of that law in
cases involving foreigners she can salts
fy similar justifable requirements as
to the administration of the law.
China Might Fail.
If China, even Of her own motion and
without coercion, should make treaties
she might fail to solve what Is for her
essentially political problem. There
would still be room for critics Of the
government to claim that 1t had allowed
foreign powers to interfere with the free
exercise OF Chinese sovereignty. But II
the Chinese government should itself
promulgate It's modern codes and itself
establish five or six special courts In the
principal centers Of foreign residence
and then provide for the nomination Of
judges Of such courts by the World
Court or the Hague Court Of Arbitra-
ton, delegating to that body the de-
termination Of the salaries and the con-
ditions of payment for the maintenance
Of these special courts. there would then

business Of these cities or that which
passed through them.
In the wake of the wave of reform
which swept over China in 1898, how
ever, those who had learned the West
ern conception Of national sovereignty
raised the cry Of independence for China
and demanded that the extraterritorial
rights of foreigners be abolished. In
1902 Great Britain made new treaty,
in which she agreed to surrender her
extraterritorial rights as soon as Chi
nese law and its administration had
reached a stage Of development which
would warrant such surrender. The
following year the United States and
Japan made similar treaties.
At the Washington conference in 1922
China insisted that the time had arrived
to restore China's sovereign rights and
that extraterritoriality should be abol-
ished. There was little in the history Of
the intervening years to. support this
claim. The revolution Of 1911, which
had overthrown the Manchus, was fol-
lowed by a period of intermittent civil
war which had not only kept the entire
country in turmoil but had divided it
up among q half dozen military adven-
turers who consistently exploited their
own territory and all they could seize
from their rivals for their own benefit.
Claim to Modernity Absurd.
Under such conditions. while few
devoted jurists we're laboriously putting
together the beginnings of a modern
law code. the claim that Chinese law
and its administration" had been in
anv degree modernized was little less
than absurd. THE Chinese courts were
wholly under the domination Of the war
lords. and the administration Of Jus
tice" was another of their instruments
Of extortion. a.,
Although these conditions were well
known, the powers at washington
agreed to the appointment OF COM
mission to investigate. Ramification OF
this agreement was delayed, and the
commission did not meet until the Fall
of 1926, While it was actually in ses-
sion in Peking the Chinese government
underwent one of those changes Of mas
tiers which had plagued the country for
10 years.

even the Chinese delegate Joined whole

was that 1.-The administration OF justice
= in China must be intrusted to a
judiciary which shall be effectively pro-
tected against any unwarranted inter-
ference by the executive or other
branches of the government, whether
civil or military" Other recommends

and promulgate codes of law and make
adequate financial provision for the
maintenance Of courts"
China Continues Work.
In other words, the commission found
that neither the law nor its admins
tration was such as to warrant the sur
render of extraterritorial rights. Since
the investigation was made China has
continued work on the codes, and these
are now reasonably complete. On the
side of administration 1t is doubtful II
