Monthly, the requirements of the Monthly for an entire year—1918-19. He believed in preparedness. With the rising cost of labor and material under war conditions, the inaugura tion of new postal laws and regulations as part of war measures, and an urgent need for cash, his lot was certainly by no means an easy and comfortable one. To discontinue the publication, in the opinion of the manager and many others, would indeed be a misfortune to the Alliance, the Sections and the members and the

In the capacity of the manager, I tried my best to raise some money and I was glad I was able to secure loans from a Mr. Friend, the Eastern Section and the Eastern Conference. (For figures, see table.) To provide for the year's need I adopted a policy to lay a small charge for the insertion of conference re ports. Under normal and favorable conditions, such a policy might not be a wise one; but, I regret to say, I and my asso 41

ciates did not have the good fortune to handle normal condi tions; we had to tackle with an unusual and extraordinary sit uation. Thanks to the co-operative spirit and sympathetic at titude of the officers of the Eastern and the Western Sections, those charges were promptly paid by them after the situation of the Monthly was fully brought to their attention. The Mid West Section, however, refused to pay for conference report; Mr. M. H. Chou, the then Chairman the Section, could not to

authorize the payment; my several letters explanation and solicitation brought me no avail. Strange say, both the Monthly and the Section relied Art VI, Sec. 30, the Alliance Constitution which says: “The policy subject all Alliance publications shall the control and revision the Council,” for each other's stand. The Monthly and its manager's interpretation the above quoted clause was long that the Council does not see reverse their policy and action, the same should carried out. The Sec tion and its chairman reasoned that the new policy the man agement could not approval by the enforced without its Council. (A serviceable interpretation for practical uses still wanting.) to

wish to express my sincere appreciation of the help I had from my colleagues. The Circulation and the Advertisement Managers both did their best under the difficulties they met. The Associate and the Assistant Mangers in every city, with the exception of a few, all lent their help to make the past year a financial success. I have a few suggestions to make : There should be a permanent, central office. This has been put up to us from year to year by aimost every retiring man ager, but we never had been able to establish that central of 1.

ought to be greatly enlarged. The only way to effect this is to obtain the help of every member of the Alliance. It is the duty of every member. We cannot establish a central office until the Monthly is self-supporting, and this cannot be had if we continue to have a small circulation. The greatest asset to a publication is the advertisements, and a large advertisement department is dependent upon a large circulation. 3.

THE EASTERN CONFERENCE Annual Conference of the Eastern Section of the Alliance was held in Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, New York, from the eighth to the sixteenth of September. The first thing that one ought to say about the Conference is The Fifteenth

ganizations, like the University Club, the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the Presbyterian Church, the Watervliet Arsenal, in vited the delegates to visits and receptions; many families gave dinners and afternoon teas. It seemed as if both the Institute and the city experienced the Confucian happiness of receiving friends from a distant country. The second thing to be said about the Conference is that it was intensely serious in purpose. The delegates were there to find out what they could do and what they should do for the country during its present crisis. This is shown by the char acter of the platform addresses. Dr. John C. Ferguson gave a lucid, compelling analysis of the Shantung question; Hon. T. C. Quo pleaded with great sincerity for a courageous, deter mined fight for the Republic; Dr. Gilbert Reid, with the fervor and sympathy of a compatriot, pointed out the weakness of our national character and asked the delegates to labor definitely for the ideals of peace and democracy. Student movements for Pro hibition and Universal Education were advocated in a special meeting, winning much support, and infusing into the Conference the moral fervor of reform. Six open forum papers, dealing with railroad, finance, engineering, industry, and education, were read and dicussed; they did the important service of reg istering the thought of the Chinese students in this country in regard to the national problems; it was plain that the Confer ence put its primary emphasis on the development of industry

The English and the Chinese oratorical contests did the same service in a more formal way. The week of the Conference was as rich and stimulating intellectually as all

and universal education.

All the Michigan delegates showed the spirit individually as well as collectively. In the literary contests, Mr. H. C. Tung won the first place in English oratorical contests, and second in Chinese. In the athletic field, W. T. Young, F. C. Lui, G. H. Tsui and K. L. Wu, won many prizes in almost all events. As a result Michigan won the club championship and was awarded with a big silver cup. In addition, she won the first place in the inter-club singing a

The celebration was in the form of a Chinese dinner. The “chow” was simply fine. But listen! The first-hand news about the recent student movement in China was still finer. To complete the evening's program, our national anthem was sung accompanied by the orchestra of the restaurant. JAMES K. F. SHEN.

Beloit

The Chinese Students' Club of Beloit College was organized on October third, 1919. It consists of six charter members. The officers President, Mr. Lei Sun; Secretary, Miss of the Club are as follows: Loo-Sun Woo, and Treasurer, Mr. C. L. Chin. We celebrated our October Tenth with great success. Mr. Sun presided over the meeting, and Mr. Y. T. Pei made the oration of the occasion. President M. A. Brannon and Professor G. L. Collie also spoke. The celebration was participated in by more than four hundred people. The Round Table of the Beloit College says: “L. Sun, President of the Club, gave in his opening remarks several reasons for the forming of the Republic and some of the results already evident. T. Y. Pei presented a short history of the revolution which preceded the change of the government and a description of the changes that have been made. Dr. G. L. Collie, in the main address, greeted the members of the new club and congratulated them on their patriotic ef forts. Dr. Brannon who returned from Milwaukee on Friday, added a few words of welcome and encouragement to the Chinese Club. The Chinese National Anthem and the Club yell were both of unusual and unique interest. Miss L. S. Woo rendered a piano selection which was MISS LOO-SUN WOO. greatly enjoyed.” Detroit

At

Pennsylvania On our first regular meeting of this academic year, held on Octo ber 3, new members were formally initiated, consisting of four distinct groups—the new arrivals from China, the “second hand” scholars trans ferred from other American Colleges, the freshmen just promoted from preparatory schools, and the fresh graduates studying practical American industries. Various club activities and affairs were keenly discussed, of which the most important and the nearest was the commemoration of the Eighth Anniversary of the Republic of China. The business meeting was followed by a social which was conducted in a most interesting and unique fashion and ended with a “true” ghost story full of make-up scares. The party broke up into roaring chats by the appearance of a big dishful of fruits. The October 10th was very successfully celebrated. The celebration took the form of a regular social. Its programme is itemized as follows: Remarks, E. C. Yao; 2 National Hymn, Club; 3 1. Introductory Piano Solo, Miss F. M. Liang; 4. Speech, Dr. Cyrus F. Wicker; 5. Jokes, Dr. K. H. Li; 6.

Turkey and the Balkan States cannot be to hope for after the war. among counted the rivals for the world trade, and Italy has but a limited foreign amount of commerce which, in the eyes of the other powers, is

negligible quantity. And Russia who was in the pre-war days a com giant, comparable only to the United States and Great Britain, has been paralyzed to such a degree that it will be years before she can resume her former progress. a

mercial

Such being the case, it becomes at once apparent that the only powers who are in good trim to be actively engaged in international trade and to resume the position which they have enjoyed before the war are Great Britain, Japan, France, and the United States. All these powers have, either because of their geographical situation or because of their vast territorial possessions, more than usual interest in the Far Eastern trade, for which China undoubtedly forms a great attraction. With a popula tion which has been generally estimated at one fourth of that of the whole world and a buying and consuming capacity unequalled by any single people, China promises to be the most fertile and the most lucra tive field for foreign commerce in the long days to come. She needs goods as well as raw materials; she looks for foreign as manufactured sistance and foreign investment of which she stands in need most badly

for her internal development; she needs machineries, with which to de velop her infant industry. A number of important railways have yet to be constructed; a number of mines, coal, iron, copper, and gold, rich and extensive, have yet to be developed; and there is a variety of develop ment schemes, the fruition of which is still eagerly awaited. In short, hopeful foreign opens up China such a vista for trade that no commercial nation of Europe, America, or Asia, can afford not to take her into careful consideration,-far less these powers who have great interests post-bellum struggle for commercial supremacy in the Far East. In the admittedly great China is a stake to be lost or won, and who can afford to lose China?

It is for this reason that the monograph by Dr. C. S. FOREIGN TRADE OF CHINA, is of timely interest. To in his own language, ly the development

of China's commercial relations with the outside world from the earliest period to the present time, and to explain certain forces at work in that development. It aims at showing some of the ef upon fects China herself of her international relations, things on which foreign writers are usually reticent, although they are cardinally import ant for a proper understanding of the Chinese Question. There is no doubt that those who are interested in the China trade are naturally in terested in the “certain forces at work” which Dr. See undertakes to explain. 3. Written in an easy and readable style, and packed with informations which are certainly interesting and furnish the necessary historical back ground for a correct understanding of China's future relations with the foreign powers, the book is to be welcome by readers of all classes: “Much has been written about China,” says the author, “but seldom, if ever, from the Chinese point of view.” On the contrary, Dr. See seems

for more than three hundred years, Dr. See offers five reasons for ex planation, and they are (1) the unsatisfactory conduct of the Westerners in general, (2) the fear of European aggression, (3) the unsettled con ditions with the Empire, which hampered the development of trade, jurisdiction by foreigners (4) the claim of extra-territorial the in China, finally ignominious subjects and (5) the treatment of the Chinese abroad which invited retaliation on the part of the Chinese Government. It is unnecessary to explain how these causes were responsible for the change of attitude by the Chinese Government. For a complete under standing of the question it is best to refer to Dr. See's book directly. thoroughness It pays to read for very few books can excel in vestigation, liberality view, ability summarize events, and ease

Britain was proud of her free trade policy, but the one adopted by the Chinese Empire in regard to the trade matters went further than this. “Up to the opening years of the sixteenth century,” as Dr. See points out, “the general attitude of the Chinese towards aliens was exception ally liberal and even hospitable. Strangers were received with *cordiality, their commerce was encouraged, and no prejudice was shown against the practice or propagandism of their religions, however peculiar they might be. As a matter of fact, foreigners were placed on practically the same footing as the Chinese themselves; official positons were open to them, and they enjoyed the ample protection of the Imperial Government. In other words, the Chinese originally evinced none of the exclusive pro pensities with which they were finally associated in a very conspicuous manner. Such generosity has certainly never been accorded to out siders by any other country in the world.” This was the attitude of the Chinese, when the foreigners, whether engaged in trade, in mission ary, or in any other pursuits, acknowledged China's sovereignty and complied fully with her manners and customs. But from the beginning of the sixteenth century the Chinese Government abandoned its tradi tional mood of tolerance and magnanimity towards outsiders and adopted in its place a trenchant policy of surveillance and restriction, amounting practically to non-intercourse. For this change of attitude policy, and which was destined to be continued with increasing force

THE TRUTH ABOUT CHINA AND JAPAN By B. L. Putnam Weale. Mead and Co., New York,

Dodd,

1919.

It is interesting to note that in Mr. Weale's new book on Sino Japanese relations, 88 pages out of 248 are given to documents and treaties. A careful perusal of these will show “precisely why there

China and Japan.” “The essential point is policy, one policy for the East and another for West; that she uses military power and secret loans to advance the first and diplomacy and publicity the second.” The present conditions in the primarily Far East are due to this double policy, though the blundering diplomacy of the Occident together with the corruption of the military book, clan in China contribute no small share. In this Mr. Weale shows how Japan forced her terms on China, how she violated international military leaders for the etiquette by making treaties with individual pages of documents wherein barter of Chinese rights (eighty-eight Chinese rights were sold for a few million yen) and how at the same time she used propaganda and publicity to cajole and threaten the West into acquiescence and consent to her policy in China. Yet underlying this there word condemnation against the diplomacy the Japan having appear West that had allowed the role saved the East from German barbarism when China under Yuan Shih-kai 1914 be conflict

Mr. Weale, however,

makes a few suggestions for the solution of the

problem. European and American help is solicited to help putting the country an a sound financial basis. Currency, education and transpor tation are further problems to be solved. Mr. Weale believes that “the problem of Peking should be made the problem of Europe and America, should be treated as an intimate and not as an insoluble matter, since it has grown directly out of the superior strength in peace and war of the Western man and urgently demands not his enmity but his sympathy and help.” It has often been urged that Japanese expansion is a natural one, that her surpuls population must needs have a larger field for expan sion, that her geographical propinquity entitles her to economic priv ileges in certain regions in China. Mr. Weale seems to think otherwise. “It is not true that these regions (Korea, Manchuria and Shantung) are necessary for the overspill of the Japanese population; for they are Korea, densely populated and are not attracting Japanese immigrants. Japanese today years, which has been under the heel for fifteen has less than 400,000 Japanese immigrants, or a net increase of 300,000 persons During this period the Korean popu since the Russo-Japanese War. by 3,000,000, lation has increased over and in less than two decades the land will be far more crowded than Japan.” He gives his opinion in a “Japan few words. indeed stands at the cross-roads. It is for her to elect what her future is to be; whether the bacillus of imperialism is to by reform.” And again. be blown out by explosion, or dissipated “Japan has placed the Manchurian railways and the Port Arthur lease on ninety-nine year Kiao-chow terms—an action which is absolutely ultra vires; and moreover she has not only taken over all the German enterprises in Shantung by force but she has pushed through by means of loans to the Peking military party, a railway extension scheme on a German-made plan, secretly prepared by Germany before the European war, aiming at making Tsingtao the sea-terminus for a railway system which at some distant date is to stretch through Central Asia and link up with the Middle East. The problem growing out of Manchuria and Shantung has therefore a new character. It is no longer a local Far Eastern problems: It is a world-problem which has to be faced and solved

or else there will be fresh world-disaster.”

The author has access to first-hand information that even some of us do not menacing China is menacing the world, and his conclusion is especially significant. “If justice enough Europe there is left over after has settled her own troubles, Eastern Asia is surely the first claimant.

The late Hon. John W. Foster contributed a monumental work on this subject, but it brought the history of American diplomacy in the Orient only as far as 1900. The later events which are far more significant were not treated. The same is also true of Mr. Callahan's book. It is for this by Fleming Company reason that the publication H.

Then into the story enter an adventuress and her pretty daughter, Naomi, with whom Sir Roger de La Haye, the English diplomat, soon fell in love. The crisis came, however, when the terms of the secret treaty were stolen, and a copy published in the papers. Sir Roger was disgraced; his character was unimpeach able, but he was responsible for the safeguarding of the treaty. Chi Lung, the Chinese ambassador, investigated the matter, determined to free the son of his old friend from all blame. But evidence accumulated against Naomi. He found out that to accuse her would bring a life long sorrow to Sir Roger, and yet to keep silence would mean his disgrace. And Chi Lung did an extraordinary thing. He acknowl edged the theft himself. His only reward was the knowledge that Sir In the story,

The reviewer, however, in commending the story to readers of the Chinese Students' Monthly has stated that it comes nearer the truth than most stories concerning Chinese character. Chi Lung here is de picted as conservative, cunning, yet sacrificing to the point of telling an untruth for the happiness of an old friend. The readers can judge for part any themselves whether these have in the Chinese make-up.

The title of this editorial is “The Fatal Policy of Japan.” It may sound as though the editor writes with an ill-wish for Japan. But this is not so. The writer derives the title from President Wilson's speech in Indianapolis. In his speech for

get them? From the United States? The prices here are too high. From Europe? There the people have not enough to keep themselves alive. Where can they look for their necessities of life? China is the only place where she can get them. But she cannot get these for nothing. She must do something in return, So she bent her energies on manufacture and thus she can ex

port her manufactured goods in exchange for the mineral prod ucts and the agricultural materials. For this reason, Japan's policy toward China is to become the dominant economic factor

in China—to make China the Japanese market. Second, Japan is over-populated. She cannot have enough land to support her growing population. She naturally casts her eyes around to look for outlets. And where can her people go? To the United States? There is the wall of exclusion against them. To the colonies of Great Britain There is the stone wall of exclusion. To Europe? The continent is already crowded. And Africa, Western Asia and Southern Pa cific Islands are not suitable for the Japanese. The only place that the Japanese can go is China, and especially Manchuria. same

And to reach this end, she first annexed Korea, so that it would serve as a bridge between Japan and China. And then she, hav ing ousted Russia from Manchuria, turned this rich territory into a Japanese colony. Third, Japan's destiny is inextricably tied with the destiny of China. She cannot exist without China. For she must get her food and mineral resources from China and she must pour out her surplus population to China. And so the question of China affects Japan's welfare vitally. And the question of China can be solved only in four ways. And they are these: (a) China can be partitioned by the powers. This the Jap anese will not allow. For not only the Chinese are of the same race, but the very partitionment of China will leave Japan alone in the world. And what is worse, she will be made unable to attain her ends which are, as I have said, to get food from China and to pour out her surplus population to China. (b) China can become a strong and united country. This Japan looks upon with hysteric horror. She cannot tolerate an other Asiatic power, ten times greater than she is, to usurp her position of leadership in the Orient. Moreover, she is still conscious of the wrongs she has done to China. She remembers

the Chinese. She therefore cannot afford to have a strong and united China overshadow her power and push her down into a position of secondary importance. And this is exactly the reason why she always looks upon the civil war in China as a provi dential opportunity for her to strengthen her control over China. China can ever remain weak and divided country. This suits the Japanese much better. And yet she still regards possible source this evil. China weak and divided will inevitably invite foreign aggressions, and then she will have eliminating the foreign encroach again bear the brunt ments, she has driven out the Russians from Manchuria and the Germans from Shantung.

THE CHINESE STUDENTS’ MONTHLY This clearly, then, is the policy of Japan toward China. And

now having known the policy, let us see why this policy of Japan is fatal. And the main reasons are opposition of the Chinese and the opposition of the powers. First, the opposition of the Chinese. The Chinese are now awakened to the danger of the Japanese policy. They are ready

to resist Japan to the last man and the last dollar. The recent student strike is but a clear protest of the Chinese against the Japanese encroachment. The boycott movement is another warning which tells the Japanese in an unequivocal language that unless Japan abandons her fatal policy, although she may get Shantung concessions, she will, nevertheless, lose China as her best market. And should Japan persist in her policy, the Chi nese would arm themselves to the teeth, thus threatening the very existence of the Japanese. The opposition of the four hun dred million Chinese will ever throw back every blow of injury that Japan may deal to China, which will only eventually harm Japan far more than China. Second, the opposition of the powers. The powers will never consent to the Japanese policy of controlling China. They aim to maintain equal opportunity of trade and the independence of China, which is quite contrary to the Japanese policy of making China an exclusive colony of Japan. Especially will Great Brit ain oppose Japan's policy, in spite of their alliance. Great occupies position Britain now the dominant commercial in China Japan, any power, and she will not let other even beat her and take her place of leadership. Nor will the United States yield quietly to the Japanese policy. For the United States is policy which guaran obligation uphold open-door under to the tees the territorial integrity and political independence of China and also the equal opportunity of trade in China. And should Japan persist in her fatal policy, she would incur the ill-will of the powers, which would make the Japanese so unpopular and so distrusted the world over that they would find their life in deed miserable.

Japan can save herself from the fatal consequences of her policy only in one way, and that is by absolutely changing the aim of her policy. Instead of aiming to control China, she should aim to help China instead of delighting over the weak and di

vided China, she should strive to help China to become a great and strong and united nation. Instead of taking Shantung and

Thus, and thus alone, can Japan live in

with China and in comity with the other powers.

It marks the rise of a new element in the Chinese politics, which fights neither for the North nor for the South, but for the welfare of the people. Such is the tremendous significance of the student strike. And it is hoped that these students who have so nobly begun will not allow their work of deliverance to die down in slum bering indifference, but will rather perpetuate their efforts by organizing themselves into a permanent political party, which will neither stand for the North nor for the South, but will stand

for the welfare of the people and for the salvation of China.

Police Insinuations The police authorities of Peking advised the deputations to leave their memorial with them, to be conveyed to the President.

Resignation of Premier Kung Kung Hsin-Chan, acting Premier and concurrently Minister of Finance, has tendered his resignation. Mandates have been issued accepting his resignation.

The Eighth Year Loan for the issuance of the eighth year public loan

Regulations have been promulgated by the President, some of the most im portant articles of which are: 1. The public loan to be issued will be $200,000,000, but only $50,000,000 will comprise the first instalment. 2. The interest is fixed at 7 per cent. per annum. 3. For the first five years of the flotation of the loan, only interest will be paid. Beginning from the sixth year, one-fif teenth part of the capital will be drawn so that the whole of the capital will be repaid at the end of the twentieth year. 4. The loan will be secured by the land tax. 5. The loan will be issued at 90 per cent of its face value. 6. The bonds will be issued in five denominations, $10,000, $1,000, $100, $10 and $5.

Except as customs duty, these bonds when due either in capital or in interest may be tendered as cash in all transactions. 7.

Opposition While favorably received by many, the Loan has found op position in many important organizations. Eleven public insti tutions, among which were the Kianysu Provincial Educational Association, Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and the World's Students' Federation, have lodged a protest to the Government for the flotation of the loan. The grounds for the protest were: (1) That the step was unconstitution and (2) that it would likely invite foreign encroachment.

World Progress The After-War Conditions in Europe According to recent reports, the situation in Europe is desperate. In the widespread areas of devastation the people are in rags and bare-footed. It is said that for five years practically no new clothing has got into the hands

these peoples; practically none has been manufactured; and old stocks have long been used up. The coming of the winter makes the situation still harder. Conditions are especially bad in Poland, where the cold months are very severe, the fuel shortage is acute, and 2,000,000 or more refugees must pass the winter. The American Relief Administration and various other organizations are trying to raise a fund for the help of these miserable people of Europe. According to their plan more than 1,200,000 children in Poland can only be given a meal a day for the next seven months. In Petrograd, it is declared that 40,000 persons have died from starvation within a month. Now the situation is without improvement. The population of Petrograd has fallen below 400,000; schools have been closed owing to lack of fuel. The prices of foodstuffs now available are so high as to be entirely out of reach of the poor. Herrings are bringing 200 rubles each and potatoes 110 rubles per pound. A pint of milk costs 80 rubles and meat is almost unobtainable. In Armenia, people are also suffering starvation. More than 150,000 children in Armenia will be provided with one meal a day for the coming three months by the American Relief Administration. In Italy, many orphans are found. These children are without clothing and ready to suffer the severe winter days. The Italian Relief Committee came to America to ask for help; its president, Robert Underwood Johnson, wrote a poem entitled “The Only Doll in the Valley.” The poem records the fact that in the Valley de Ledro in Northern Italy there is only one doll, being the property of a little girl. Mr. Johnson wanted to show to the American people the desperate situation of the Italian people and their children. It is thru this poem he made his appeal in this country and succeeded in securing $4,000 worth of children's shoes, stockings and under clothing, and a fund of $156,000. The committee is still staying here for further contributions from the philanthropists of this country. The above are the results of this great War, which has left to European countries nothing but miseries, debts, orphans, widows and parents without soils.

Entirely out our expectation came the petition from the chieftains of the Mongolian Banners. Petition was sent our Ambassador, Chen Yi, Urga, capital Outer Mongolia, and on October 24th, Mr. Chen reported to our government the receipt the petition. According Mr. Chen's dispatch, the petition was very sincerely prayed that expressed. few years ago the Mongolians had been deceived intrigues into declaring autonomy, but since then they have been bullied the Russians. Now they envied the princes and chieftains Inner Mon golia, who, they said, received special favorable treatment from our govern ment. their petition they expressed their desire cancel autonomy and

return to our protection. But the real purpose of the petition was to ask our government to redeem the loan which the Urga Government had con tracted with Russia in October, 1913 (amounting to 2,000,000 rubles), and also to pay the salaries or allowances of the princes and chieftains. Our ambassador recommends that the petition be granted. Our Govern ment has sent a telegraphic message to Chen Yi, accepting the offer and promising to pay the salaries and allowances ($800,000 a year). Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been instructed to open negotiations with the Russian Legation at Peking for the cancellation of the Kiachta Treaty, under which the autonomy of Outer Mongolia was recognized by our Government and Russia.

The admission of the Outer Mongolians to our Union is a very clever move. If we hesitate now, there will be very few chances to get this territory back. Now it is still uncertain whether our negotiations with the Russian Legation will be successful; but the bad condition in Russia may enable us to succeed this time. And we sincerely wish that we shall succeed. Germans Begin Their Commercial Activities with Scandinavian Countries The delay in the ratification of the Peace Treaty has prevented Germany

Japan Ratifies the Peace Treaty of Versailles

It seems to us that the Japanese delegates had won a great victory in Versailles, and the Peace Treaty which their delegates brought back was the best treaty that she could get. The Treaty was approved by the Privy Council on October 20th, at a meeting at which the Emperor presided. The meeting began with the report of the Treaty Committee of the Council. The Committee said that the League of Nations' covenant did not conflict with the prerogatives of the Emperor. Then they advised the Government to settle the Shantung matter to the best possible advantage of Japan. After unanimous approval, without reservations the Treaty was sub mitted to the Emperor.

PURVEYORS OF

|

The development of Chinese commerce in New York has been closely linked with the House of Randle's.

John Randles, the founder and for

56 years the directing

force of the splendid institution he created, was, undoubtedly, more intimate with the Chinese tradesmen of the East than any other American citizen. He was a familiar figure in the Chinese section and from close association and knowledge of Chinese character and custom perceived their sterling worth and high integrity.

He opened wide the credit gates of his business to them and many a flourishing business of today was among his earliest patrons.

It

gives us pleasure to testify that the great majority of Chinese merchants have proven worthy of his confidence. To day and for the future we hope to retain this close association and will exert every effort to give service and satisfaction.

great duty to serve the nation, but we cannot take the opportun ity nor perform the duty, as our training is at fault. Secondly, regardless of what lines of specialization, generally speaking, the returned students had too little practical training while studying abroad. They came back too soon. What they should have done after garduating from college was to acquire practical training, to learn some particular things really well so that when they came back they could start independent works.

This has not been the case.

The result is that we have so many

returned students who are supposed to be specially trained in industrial, commercial and other practical lines, yet who can do nothing except teaching, talking and joining the official institu tions. These faults of the returned students

time, but they become very distinct and clear at the present when we want to boycott the Japanese goods and make the goods ourselves.

The Committee takes the liberty to ask you that while in Europe and America you will kindly reach as many Chinese students as possible and strongly impress upon them the im portance of also specializing in those industries which are seem ingly unimportant, and the absolute necessity of acquiring good practical experience before coming back to China. Industrial development depends upon experts and prac tical men. Given such men, in twenty or thirty years China can become a great industrial and commercial nation, for indus try and commerce can be developed in a comparatively short

Our first meeting was called to order by President Yao on September 22, for the election of new officers. The following were elected accordingly: Mr. S. C. Chen, President; Mr. C. C. Wang, Vice-President; Mr. H. H. Yas, Secretary and Associate Editor; Mr. K. G. Lee, Treasurer; Mr. C. C. Hsiung, Chinese Secretary; Mr. W. M. Ling, Business Manager. The preceding year has been a successful year for the Chinese Students' Club at Ames. It has played an important part in the activities of the college. With a small number of nine, we have successfully put up two banquets and three public entertainments. In the Cosmopolitan Club, we have played an unusually active part. The interpretation of the golden rules from the classics and the presentation of the Chinese dialogue on the International Nights have been received with hearty applause. In election we have carried away the most honorable offices. Mr. Yao was elected president of the Cos mopolitan Club, and Mr. S. C. Chen, the business manager. But the thing which won for us the recognition among our American friends was the presentation of “The Rainbow,” a play in three acts written by Mr. S. Hung. It was presented in the Agricultural Hall on October 10th. We attracted an audience of over eight hundred. We did send them back with smiling faces. What the “Iowa State Student” said: “RAINBOW

The Chinese Students' Club of the University of California has been unusually active during the last few months. A beautiful, spacious and splen didly-located clubhouse has been bought. The constitution has been revised and made adaptable to every need. Two receptions were given to welcome the arrival of Tsing Hua and other students. An election of officers for the year 1919–20 was held. Prior to July of this year we had no permanent clubhouse, and so our activities were more or less hampered. In view of these inconveniences, we decided to buy a house to be used as a social place. To raise the necessary fund, we sent out delegates to solicit help from our merchants and others. Being extremely interested in the student welfare, these merchants and men of other professions made generous contributions, which enabled us to attain our goal. The members who spared no effort in realizing this tremendous project and therefore deserve special mention, are Messrs. T. Chen, K. S. Jue, Y. S. Tsen, M. C. Foo and Ling Lew. Heretofore our Constitution had many defective points. It was not applicable to the needs of a well-organized club, and so we redrafted mak ing adequate meet the new needs. On September 11th, the Tsing Hua and private students arrived San Francisco. We sent out special representatives welcome them. The next California, and attended the reception day they visited the University our clubhouse given their honor. Respecting the group students that arrived later, practically the same hospitality was accorded them.

The Chinese Student Club at Columbus is just as prosperous as ever. This year the loss of eight old members is practically balanced up by the addition of seven new-comers: Messrs. G. C. Chang, C. S. Chu, Fong, J. They all come from other Hsung, C. Y. Lee, T. Y. Wen and H. B. Young. institutions. The total number of membership is twenty-three. The Eighth Annual Celebration of the “Double Ten” is certainly worth mentioning. It was held in the State Palace Restraurant and celebrated by eighty persons, including guests from other towns and the Chinese merchants in the capital city. Among the speakers, Messrs. T. S. Hsie and H. K. Chang of Delaware, gave impressive talks about the Chinese student movement in

On October 24th, we held our second social gathering in the Ohio Union. After some business discussions, Mr. McCloy gave an interesting talk about the present conditions in China. The meeting was adjourned after a series of games and jokes.

at 8:15 in the

Rho Psi Club House, the Chinese

students at Ithaca held the celebration of the birth of our Republic. The program opened with a Chinese harp solo by Mr. S. C. Shueh, who later also gave some inside views of the recent students' strike at Shanghai. Mr. C. T. Kwei spoke about some of his personal experiences with the

Chinese laborers in France. His impressions, like those of many others, are entirely favorable, perhaps the more so as the majority of the laborers are illiterate. Mr. Kwei then suggested that we students studying abroad, for whom a vast amount of money is being spent and to whom opportunities are open, should in the first place do faithful work in our studies and then should by every means available broaden our views so that we may see things in the right perspective and be better able to apply our talents to the solution

Mr. C. Y. Hou presided over the social part of the meeting, at which he introduced each and every member, new and old, formally to the club by calling him or her up to make a two-second speech. Miss M. J. Woo availed herself of the opportunity thus afforded to her to recommend a book entitled “An Oriental Policy of the U. S.” by Henry Chung, as being written in excel lent English and shedding light on many of the important features of the Shantung question. Miss Woo at once received seventeen subscriptions for the book. Mr. C. T. Kwei was no less successful. After he informed the boy members of the would-be existence of a certain society yet to be founded, some twenty men upon entering it pledged upon their honor that they would never drink, never gamble, never go to a prostitute for life. The process of introduction lasted for some time; but after the introduction, members seem to know one another very much better than before. H. K KAo.

Oberlin The Chinese Student Club in Oberlin has the same number of members this year as last year. Out of the sixteen members, six are ladies. The new members of the club are: M. S. Chang, T. J. Cheng, K. Y. Fung, E. Y. Z. Woo, C. J. Lin and Misses M. C. Chan and L. A. Soo-Hoo. The officers of the club for 1919-1920 are Miss H. C. Yen, President; Miss C. P. Chai, Vice-President; Miss D. Y. Koo, Treasurer; Y. L. Lee, English Secretary; Y. C. Wang, Chinese Secretary. One of the admirable facts of the Chinese students here this year is that eight out of the sixteen are working for at least part of their way in the college. They meet once a week to discuss problems of China. Outside speakers are often invited to address them. Their celebration of October 10th was marked with spirit and dignity. Returned missionaries from China and American students contemplating going to China were their guests on that occasion. The Chinese national flag, with explanation, was printed on thousands of sheets for distribution to the public by Mr. Y. C. Wang. Mr. Y. L. Lee was twice called upon to speak at the Apollo Theatre in Oberlin, protesting China.

This is the latest book on international politics by the veteran writer, Dr. Herbert Adams Gibbons, with whom we have been well ac quainted through his earlier works. Those who have read “The New Map of Africa,” “The New Map of Europe,” “The Reconstruction of Poland and the Near East,” not to mention a string of other books which expect from his latest con are his credit, certainly know what Undoubtedly there are but few writers on international tribution. politics who know the geography the world well does Dr. Gib metaphorical expression, we may bons, and we are permitted use good geographer. say that Dr. Gibbons was Locke who said good geographer one need not visit every moun the effect that tain, river, promontory, and creek upon the face the earth, view the buildings and survey the land everywhere, he were going make purchase.

which we review elsewhere in this issue, we have the case in point. Dr. Gibbons assigns a much larger area to “Asia,” however, India, Tibet, Afghanistan, British colonies in Asia, Siam, Indo-China, Dutch colonies in the Far East, German possessions in the Pacific, the Philippine Islands, Turkey, Persia, Palestine, Korea, Siberia, Japan and China—in short, all parts of Asia where there is now, or there was at one time, a nation, a people, whose political and social institutions have been interesting and absorbing subjects of study for historians, anthropologists and other seekers of human knowledge, and whose territories and natural resources have been stakes lost or won in this deep game of international poli tics. Dr. Gibbons takes up one after another in a sympathetic and un derstanding manner and with a clear and easy style which is equalled by few and excelled by none. The author is particularly informing in his treatment of the Turkish question, of which he is admittedly one of the leading authorities today. The chapters of immediate interest to us are, of course, those dealing with China and Japan, and their mutual relations within the last score of years. In an outline manner he tells us all the important events that should be borne in mind by students of world politics. He traces the gradual steps of Japan's territorial ex pansion, the annexation of Korea, the exploitation of China, the expul sion of Germany from Asia, and finally the Peace Conference at Paris where China was made a “victim” of European and Japanese imperial ism. This is his opinion on the Shantung settlement: “The solution of the Shantung question incorporated in the treaty dictated to Germany is the triumph of the policy of economic exploita tion through political blackmail against which John Hay and his prede cessors in the American State Department struggled with skill and a large measure of success.” In another place, he writes in this vein: “In the discussion and solution of no problem before the Conference of Paris were the in sincerity and bad faith of the great powers more apparent than in the disposition of the Shantung question. The facts of history are distorted. The principles for which the Entente powers and the United States declared they had fought were ignored. The powers showed their inability to rise to the high level of international morality essential for the creation of a society of nations. Instead of trying to lay the foundations of a durable peace in the Far East, the statesmen of the Entente powers and the United States decided for the continuation of a policy that has provoked several wars and given rise to injustice and oppression. For the European powers and Japan, the solution proposed for the Shantung question was the holding fast to traditions and practices of the past. For the United States, it was the abandonment by our Government of the idealism and disinterested ness that for more than half a century have characterized American diplomacy in the Far East.” According to the announcement of the publisher, the book is “a dis cussion of the working out of European Eminent Domain in the con tinent of Asia during the fifteen years before the war and the five years of war.” Dr. Gibbons thinks that the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-5 and the war of 1914 in which Japan drove Germany out of Asia con stitute a distinct challenge to the doctrine of European Eminent Domain but not to the doctrine of Eminent Domain. Just as she has adopted the Western models of army and navy and Western system of tortuous diplomacy, Japan has learned the doctrine of Eminent Domain, which is European in origin but which is now applied by Japan with a skill quite Oriental. Japan first drove the Russians out from Manchuria; now she has driven Germany out of Asia entirely. What the Treaty of Peace with Germany has to say in regard to territorial changes in the Far East is in every way a confirmation or recognition of the fact that the Isſand Empire now exercises the right of Eminent Domain in Asia as well as the European powers.

Ever since the days when China and Japan measured their respective strength owing to their differences about Korea, there has been a per sistent talk about the awakening of China. It is usually taken for granted that the Island Empire has fully awakened, for if she were not how could proved herself to be an equal, at least, of the she have so successfully strongest military and naval powers of the West in the arts of war and diplomacy? It is also understood that Siam is being awakened, but that China and India require still a rude shock to get rid of their lethargy. So, it is but natural that one should inquire just what Mr. H. M. Hynd man has in mind when he speaks of “The Awakening of Asia.” And then, it is perfectly pertinent to know just what the term “Asia” con geographical sense. The author treats his subject notes in most China, Japan and India that limited manner. the “awakening” “Asia,” Asia comprising certainly deals with, but not the awakening more than these three countries. Granting that there are the book materials which would embarrass during the war, the British Government still difficult see why publication was forbidden by the British Censor for more than two very long standing, and Being years. student Indian affairs holding views about the British Administration India not all the liking the British Government, the author, on the completion having harbored an ulterior 1917, was suspected his book early put every-day language, was little short motive which, desire very little fact, there stir the unrest India. As matter startling said about India. Two chapters devoted on that coun new strong indictment try are admittedly the British administration, but they are nothing more than careful and succinct recapitulation knowledge British relations with India, which have become common long before the outbreak the European war. We understand that 400,000,000 the Japanese statesmen are fearful the moral awakening 300,000,000 are the British also afraid the awakening indus? Aside from two chapters on India, which are easily the best chapters the book, Mr. H. M. Hyndman sets himself tell once again the his tory the relations the West with the East. There one chapter on Christianity, one on immigration, and one on opium—the favorable themes the writers on the Far East. As usual, and quite naturally, the author regards Christianity the motive-power which will the end uplift the people the East better and higher moral, physical dangerous task, and intellectual life. To dispute this point best challenge. Curious enough, go without and we might well let however, while the author lays some stress on the relation of Christian teaching upon the general awakening the Orient, he blissfully forgets extremely hostile the fact that Japan, the “awakened” country, the Christianity either within the limits spread her own territory or fact, the Japanese Government has con her colonial possessions. Christianity as detrimental sidered the teaching its State system, and has denounced no uncertain terms menace the Japanese institution. because Japan has been so “awakened” that she realizes the true nature of Christian mission? difficult to see how the fac greatly responsible for Japan's awakening should now be tor which Something must be regarded menace her political institution.

The world at large would have been greatly obliged to Mr. if he had taken the trouble of explaining this queer situation. As to the relations between China and Japan, the author has grasped the fundamental point which is indispensable for a correct understanding. We quote the following in order to show the soundness of his view. “Much as we may admire the ability and statecraft by which Japan has acquired her eminent position in the Far East, it is well to have no Japan is a warlike, China is a illusions as to her fundamental policy. peaceful power. Japan, even now, is a very poor country (and will al ways be a very poor country, we may add). China is rich, and pos

incalculable resources for the creation of wealth. Japan regards China as her treasure-house of raw materials for her industries as they exist at present; the market for her industries, as they may be in the near future; and the ideal country in which she can exercise her great powers of organization and development later on. China feels con fident that, if given fair play, she can open up, connect by road and railway, administer and co-ordinate her own vast and wealthy territories for herself. But she is at present in no position to resist the claims of Japan to exercise exceptional authority, and to obtain unprecedented privileges within the borders of China, unless she has support from without.” This is what we call a correct understanding of the Chino Japanese relation.

with our ambitious neighbor? We may look to our last friend protection. the United States for This is a natural impulse and a worthy one too. For every man looks to his best friend for help, especially in the hour of distress. And what the United States did in 1900 in saving us from the partition, and what she did in 1908 in returning part of the Boxer Indemnity, and what she did in 1915 in gently notifying Japan that she would stand by the open-door policy in the event of Japan's pressure for the acceptance of the group five of the 21 demands—all these tend to show the true friendship of the United States for us. And yet, good as the United States may be as a friendly power, can we look to her for protection? Will the United States go to the extent of fighting Japan for our sake only? Problematical as this question may be and much as we hate to question our faith in the United States, we can nevertheless be safe to say that the United States is not ready to go to war merely for our protection. Look at the conduct of the United during great States this war and that will at once convince us. The United States would not go to war with Germany merely for the sake of Belgium and France. Much as she may sympa thize with the allies, and however willing she may be in her ship ments of munition to the allies, she stayed away from the strug gle for the first three years.

If the United States should take such a cautious policy in the case of Belgium, France and Great Britain, how much more will she be reluctant to enter into an actual struggle with Japan—merely for the sake of China? Thus we can see we cannot safely look to the United States Whence, then, can we look for help? for protection. The only source is ourselves. We must help ourselves, or else none will help us. To resist Japan, to escape the fate of Korea and Egypt, we must rise up like a man. disdaining any protection from whatever source, the United States or the league, and we must rely absolutely upon ourselves. And to do this, we must strong and first of set stable government, and having strong army and navy, which shall done this, establish able Japan protect aggressors. from and other might, so, This policy we may call the only policy justified, first all, by the natural that can save China.

To quote the papers' own words, the Mikado is daily becoming “a falling idol in the eyes of laboring classes, who are now able to see and think for themselves.” We fail to see any injustice in the remark, especially if we bear in mind that the paper merely quoted a Japanese professor that the “inviolability of the Japanese Em peror might now be interpreted in a new way.” The Mikado may prohibit according to his whim or fancy the publication of all that he regards as “dangerous ideas” in the autocratic islands: but we cannot but regard his interference on the democratic continent as “dangerous to the nth degree.”

upon her by outside nations, most of them professing to be better than others, how can we Westerners expect to find buoy ant, sanguine, gleeful Chinese?

The people of China through hereditary influences are stoical and patient. They bow to the inevitable. Let me give to them, and to every one else interested in China's future, this philosophy of an ancient Greek stoic: “When what thou willest befalls not, thou then must will what befalleth.” To this let me add the

of Christianity, that over all is a kind Providence, overruling evil, “making the wrath of man to praise Him,” and so shaping human events that for him who follows the will of God “all things work together for good.” As I look at the events that have just hurried by, this philosophy is the only consolation and stay for the millions of China, distracted and keenly dis appointed. “Some trust in horses and some in chariots”—some in Governments and some in Presidents—but, let the Chinese now say, “we will trust in the Lord our God.” On the negative side, the Chinese will do well if they no longer look for succor from outside nations, not even from the American Government: and on the positive side, let them rely on Heaven and then on “Heaven,” it is said, “helps those who help them themselves. people selves.” A that have pushed ahead for so many centuries are not going to be wiped off the map. A few selfish, grabbing, power callous officials have not the to write over China, “Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin.” If China escaped the fatality of the folly, Boxer how much more is it possible to escape the fatality China, indeed, presents a bewildering of the Great War's folly. maze, but no more so than most of the countries of Europe. “Where there's a will, there's a way.” A correspondent of the Far Eastern Bureau writes: , “It is unfair to say that China must suffer because it is her own fault, and ‘China ought to help herself’.” He then proceeds to denounce Japan for solitary outstanding culpability. In my opinion, China, to be sure, “ought to help herself,” and she will suffer--not must suffer—because it is partly “her own fault.” Let not the Chinese any more than others be imposed upon by the fallacies of self-complacency. As for their sufferings, there is a way of philosophy

It must be spiritual reformation. Again, China's future lies in the abandonment of militaristic methods and in the pursuit of peace and international concilia

But men are learning gradually that some other tag besides “Prussian” must be affixed to that enemy of mankind, militarism. Jn reality the Allied nations have been more keen on destroying the Prussian species of the genus militarism than in destroying the genus itself.

tion and finance. In primitive life men's needs are met by what they can lay their hands on—hunting, fishing or farming. Later they exchange their surplus or certain kind or kinds for others in the form of barter by holding local market meetings period ically. As their needs grow the means of money is employed and with it products from far-away places become available, until at the modern age anything produced, mined or made at any corner of the whole earth is carried everywhere, distributed in all the countries, and consumed by people tens of thousands of miles away. This wide interchange of commodies is made possible through rapid means of transportation, over land and water through judi ciously collecting the products where supply is great and putting same where there is demand, and through a system of utilizing the savings of the people to sink into farming industries, mining operations and manufacturing enterprises. To put it in another form, we have to have roads, canals, railways, steamships, ports, docks, commercial firms and banks, if we want to accelerate production. To carry the analytical study further it is obvious that pro duction is possible only when there is order, when life and prop erty are protected, when the body is kept strong and vigorous and when the mind and soul are peaceful and healthy. No pro duction is possible where there is war, disorder or epidemic and productions

is greatly retarded when the products are sickly, vicious or lazy. Here we have two other features to reckon with. The first is an organized political system known as Government. Gov ernment is essential for the keeping of order and giving protec Besides, there are enterprises which tion to life and property. only government can handle, such as the construction of ports, national highways and railways, survey of mineral resources, conservation of rivers and forests, and others of similar nature. The government also enacts laws which will govern the conduct of commercial, industrial and mining enterprises, and holds courts to arbitrate between contending parties in the application of these laws. I am mentioning only such of the governmental functions which affect production.

Then again, the amount of production depends much upon the physical, mental and spiritual efficiency of the people who produce things. In the last analysis the welfare of a family de pends upon the efficiency of the bread-winner. If he is physically strong, mentally alert and spiritually sound, he is bound to pros per and his family derive the benefit of his labor. On the other hand, poverty, hunger and ruin will befall him who is sickly in health, deficient in mental make-up, vicious, lazy or criminal in habits. Here we need the help of those who are known as men of professions and men of altruistic or social welfare work.

Un

lawyers, educators, dentists, while ministers, philanthro pists, Y. M. C. A. secretaries, Red Cross workers, etc., will come under the latter. All these professional and altruistic workers constitute vital factors to production. Most people overlook this because their contribution, being indirect, is not seen but nevertheless tremendously vital.

The kind of government a nation will have is in direct ratio to the intelligence, character and number of the men who are in control of the political situation. If the best men are in political control, it spells order, protection and prog ress, and the revers will be the case when the government is in the hands of corruptible, selfish and treacherous people.

But the third object of the 1911 revolution, the establishment of a con stitutional form of government, remains to be realized. Yuan Shih-kai ruled China as an absolute autocrat, yet so long as he pretended to adhere to the re publican form of state, he was tolerated and even supported by a large sec

We realize that it will take some years to achieve this end, even as it took the United States many years to get their constitution and her republi can institutions in working order. What I wish to bring out is that after each revolution China has made some substantial advancement towards her goal—a genuine democracy. Our people are taking a more general, more intelligent active and more interest in public affairs than ever before, as witness the recent student movement which scored such a moral victory over a corrupt, reactionary government, by forcing the dismissal of three notorious Japanese agents from the highest government posts, and also the nation-wide boycott which is cutting down seventy per cent. of Japan's trade in China. Perhaps the question may be asked, as it has sometimes been asked, whether it was wise for China to become a republic in view of the civil wars

fellow-students,

explains why the returned students have failed to preserve identity their and are like a few drops in a bucket in our vast land. There are, to be sure, individual cases of success in terms of prosperity, high posi tions and fame. But as a class, and despite their increasing number, the re

turned students possess no great political or moral force in our country to day. There are very few real achievements to which we can point as the work of the returned students and as a permanent service to the country.

That is a grave indictment against us. We must wipe it out, and we can. But we can wipe it out only if and when we stand together. We must make a common and determined stand for the principles of democracy—a stand which requires devotion and sacrifice and brings us into direct conflict, not only with

our reactionaries and militarists, but also with strongly hostile foreign forces. Imperialistic nations of the world are not at all inclined to be friendly to our republic, on account of their Far Eastern possessions and interests. Our neighbor, Japan, especially, is fundamentally opposed to a republican China,

being fearful of its democratic influence upon her autocratic, militaristic sys tem. She goes much further than other imperialistic powers. She even re gards a strong, united China as opposed to her interests. Her policy towards us is primarily a policy of unrest, keeping our country weak and divided, and

playing herself the profitable role of the allegorical “fisherman.” As a corol lary to that policy, she makes political allies and tools of our Mandarins and militarists, supplying them with silver bullets to fight and kill their republican During the past two and a half years, Japan has piled upon our brethren. country

of

This dual character of our fight for the republic cannot be too strongly emphasized. It is at once a fight against the old reactionary forces for the triumph of Democracy, and a fight against Japan for the control and mastery of China. It is a fight in which the very existence of our country as an in dependent, sovereign state, no less than the fate of our republic Upon the outcome of this fight depends whether China, with the continent and a population so immense as to make every fourth world a Chinese, is to develop along democratic lines and in the

NATIONAL SALVATION By H. C. Tung (The tied First Prize Oration in the Mid-West Chinese Students' Conference, Columbus, Ohio.) Ladies and Gentlemen:

John Hay, the foresighted statesman of America, some time ago prophe sied that “the storm center of the world was gradually shifted to China,” and now China is actually the storm center. The very unjust “Shangtung Provi sion” which has caused so much stormy dispute among the great statesmen all over the world marks the beginning of the storm. This storm will con tinue, so long as China is weak; this storm will grow more intense, so long as China can not solve her own questions. Ladies and gentlemen, you have the highest education among our fellow countrymen at home, and you are the privileged few to drink the fountain of the American institutions. It goes without saying that you are duty bound to uphold China's honor and the unparalleled inheritance which our forefathers have left to, and God has preserved for us. Judging from your enthusiastic faces, it prompts me to believe that you are the patriots of China and that you all realize your responsibilities and duties; I propose, therefore,

Ladies and gentlemen, having appealed to you the necessity of working out our own salvation, the next question that naturally arises is what are the ways? we need an efficient government.

“The present weakness of the Chinese Empire is due not to the degener political system, and to false acy of individuals, but to a disorganized political ideals.”

The development of Chinese commerce in New York has been closely linked with the House of Randle's.

John Randles, the founder and for

56 years the directing splendid was, undoubtedly, created, force of the institution he more intimate with the Chinese tradesmen of the East than any other American citizen. He was a familiar figure in the Chinese section and from close association and knowledge of Chinese character and custom perceived their sterling worth and high integrity.

He opened wide the credit gates of his business to them and many a flourishing business of today was among his earliest patrons.

It

gives us pleasure to testify that the great majority of Chinese merchants have proven worthy of his confidence. To day and for the future we hope to retain this close association and will exert every effort to give service and satisfaction.

to a successful conclusion. Let us all realize that one club slack ing behind will at once obstruct the new plan and convert the Alliance into a nominal organization, which no loyal member of the Alliance likes to see. Let us demonstrate to the world that as college students and as citizens of the Chinese Republic, we are able to govern ourselves and govern ourselves well and also capable of running the administration of an organization and running it smoothly and efficiently. Finally, allow me to discuss with you frankly and without re

serve all the difficulties confronting the administration and the scope of work we are planning to carry out this year in the fol lowing itemized way: 1. Finance: The financial situation of the Alliance adminis tration has been desperate for the last eight years. The present administration was turned over without much money left in the current deposit of the treasury. We have already contracted a debt of $300 in order to run the first four issues of the Monthly. The last two issues of the Quarterly last year could not be pub lished simply because of lack of money. The continual existence of the latter magazine under such circumstances is very doubtful this year. The very cause of the extreme financial distress not only lies in the membership dues being too small but also in the imperfect collection of dues. Take a concrete example to illus my point. trate Now we have about 750 members. The total membership dues to be received by the Alliance ought to be $1,132.50 on the condition of 100 per cent. collection. It has cost the Alliance $600 to run the publication of the Monthly and $400

or more that of the Quarterly, and $300 that of the directory. The entire expense of the publication will amount to $1,300 or more, thus leaving $12.50 for buying the stationery, postage, etc. ‘I here is no organization which can make a too per cent. collec tion of membership dues. The usual collection of the Alliance membership dues seldom exceeds 50 per cert No wonder the repeatedly. Alliance has fallen into the hole In order to save the financial distress this year and put the Alliance on a sound financial basis forever, the Executive Board has adopted a few policies to be carried out this year.

In the third place, we recom mend that the local treasurers should be responsible for the col lection of membership dues for their respective sectional treas urers so as to raise the collection percentage to a higher level. to remit $175 on December 1st.

In order to meet the expenses of the other activities of the Alli ance besides the publications, the Executive Board feels com pelled to launch a financial campaign sometime in the spring of 1920. We have perfect confidence in your loyalty to make this campaign a great success.

Membership: The total enrollment of membership does not exceed 800. There are about 1,500 Chinese students in this coun try. It is the duty of every member to bring the other 700 into our membership to enjoy the privileges the Alliance. respectively heard that the three sections have launched their campaigns membership. quite intensive am sure their efforts will yield most fruitful results.

though it is not a very satisfactory arrangement, yet we can not do otherwise under the existing circumstances. 4. Committees: A number of standing committees such as Judicial, Publicity, Membership, Finance, Reserved Fund, Re search, Employment, Students’ Relations, etc., shall be created this year in order to carry on its respective fields of work. The appointment of men or women to these committees is only guided by the prinicple of merit, regardless of their locality and prestige. In this connection I wish very much to receive all the applica tions and recommendations of the best men to fill in the seats of these committees. The success of committee work not only de pends upon the ability of the committee members but largely upon their sense of responsibility which is the most important factor in the successful operation of a self-governing body. Conse quently, of the committee chairmen the Executive Board requires monthly reports in order to follow up the progress of their work.

The substance of his speech can be summarized in the following words: One of the diffi culties confronting China is the adjustment of economic life. The humanistic idea based on personal relations may have its merits, but under modern conditions it should be displaced by a new social moral ity.

The small band of Chinese spectators left the field with no less joy than the Bostonians or other Harvardites.

THE INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCES OF THE CIVIL STRIFE For the last three issues, the Monthly has devoted its edi torials to the problem of Japan. In the first issue, it has at to voice our grievances over Shantung. In the second attempted development issue it has to trace the of the Japanese policy toward China, which as we find is to control China, and also to point out the fatal possibilities of such a policy. In the tempted

third issue it has tried to formulate a policy toward Japan, which

policy of might and right. Now, as the fourth issue appears, the editor feels that he should turn his attention for the time being from the problem of Japan and shall devote the editorials of the Monthly, at least for the next few issues, to the discussion of the most vital problem of all—that of the civil strife in China. There is no doubt that aside from the pressing problem of Japan the civil war in China is the most important of all. It means the life and death of our country. It may lead us to national extinction. For Poland temporarily disappeared from the map of Europe for the civil strife among the leaders, and Korea went down before the iron heels of Japan for the dissen sions within the ruling house. And it is said by the leading authorities in organic evolution that two strong reindeers, with their horns locked against each other, can be easily killed by a child of six with a mere pen-knife. And so, as the true patriots as we find should be a

Recent reports in regard to the domestic strife have been quite conflicting. It was reported some time ago that the sec ond peace conference at Shanghai had again failed, the Southern delegation headed by Tang Shao-yi having refused to meet the Northern chief delegate, Wang I-tang. Consequent to the failure of the second peace conference, it was reported, the South had been making hostile preparations with the intention to attack the North, and in return, the Northern Tuchuns headed by Chang Tso-ling had called another military conference at Muk den at which the chief military figures the North partici pated. Quite contrary these ominous reports, however,

the recent news published in the January 15th issue of the New York Times stating that the civil war in China is approaching its end, that the South has demanded a convocation of a new parliament and the position of the vice-presidency of the Re public.

Much as we hope that the latter news of the possible peace between the North and the South may be true, we cannot but take the news in a most judicial spirit. We realize that there is an element in the South which will not yield, at any cost, ex cept on the restoration of the old parliament. Likewise do we realize that there is the Anfuh Club in Peking which has the Peking government almost at its grip and which would not yield to the dissolution of the Peking Parliament without a life and death struggle. Again, we will have to take into con sideration the personal ambitions of the politicians on both sides, and also the devilish schemes of some unfriendly power, both of which may come in to frustrate the reconciliation be tween the North and the South.

Whatever may be the outcome in the near future—whether we shall have peace or whether we shall see a protracted civil strife—we can be quite safe to discuss here the inevitable con For, should the two sides come sequences of the civil strife. together, then our discussion can serve as an intellectual in dulgence on our part; but should the civil strife continue, as most probably it would, then this editorial might serve as a warning to the responsible leaders of both sides as well as to our people at home.

road of unbalanced progress, which is always to be avoided - for the best political evolution of any democracy. Fighting being impossible and harmful, and compromise being likely to fail, the only alternative left is the foreign inter vention. Professor Jeremiah W. Jenks says that no national

union has ever been achieved except through force, and the force can come either from within or ſrom without. Now the force that can unite China, as we have seen, cannot possibly come from within, and the source left is the force from without—the foreign intervention. And it would be the inevitable conse quence of the civil strife, should it continue. For the foreign powers will not tolerate it to go on to interfere with their com

and political interests in China for endless periods. Furthermore, a divided China will always be an easy prey to Japan and the powers will not allow Japan to swallow or con trol China, and so they must stop the civil strife in order to drive out the wolf. What is more probable is that as the civil striſe continues, the Peking government will borrow loans and loans mercial

until it has pawned all the natural resources of China and then

when the day of national reckoning comes, the international Shy lock will have a excellent excuse ſor interference in the domestic squabbles of China. Thus we see that unless compromise is soon effected, and since fighting is impossible and harmful, the inevitable conse quence is foreign intervention. Abraham Lincoln said, “A house divided among itself cannot stand.” The same truth can be applied

very well to our domestic condition. Unless we unite and make our own house stand, the foreign powers will intrude into our house and put it in order for us. Such is the inevitable conse quence of the civil strife. Let the responsible leaders of both the North and the South take the wisest and the only possible course open to them— the way of compromise, or else foreign intervention shall be the inevitable consequence of the civil strife.

The student movement, with the sustained effort of its en thusiastic leaders, is still rapidly spreading throughout the coun try, although the activities of the Shanghai students are more city—they have nevertheless far reaching effects. In the early part of December, there was a big parade in which the demonstrators organized themselves into groups of thirty and forty, who seized Japanese goods as they went from one store to another.

Personnel of the New Cabinet

The Senate, by a practically unanimous vote, endorsed the nomination of General Chin Yung-peng as the Prime Minister. The list of Cabinet Ministers, which we give below, had been submitted to Parliament, but we are still unable to tell the results of the action. The list includes many members of the Anfuh Club, although they are not predominant. There was a good deal of discussion before the list was brought before the Parliament, but it is said that the Premier used his personal dis cretion without interference.

50-Year Tragedy of Alsace-Lorraine Draws to Close in French Chamber On December 8, 1919, the French Parliament met in special session, staging the final act in the drama of Alsace and Lorraine which endured for nearly 50 years. When, on March 1, 1871, M. Gambetta read the National Assembly the news that Alsace and Lorraine had been torn from France by Germany, at the same time affirming the unalterable deter mination of the provinces to remain loyal to the Motherland despite German annexation, there grew a movement and spirit which inspired all Frenchmen for two generations in the historic struggle for the return of the lost territory. On December 8, 1919, Jean Francois, Deputy from the lost provinces, speaking in the name of his 23 colleagues, solemnly re

Summary of Red Cross Work Red Cross had done a great deal for soldiers and other people in connection with the recent wars. It did even more during this war. Its work can be shown by the amount of money used for its work. On October 18, 1919, the Red Cross Council of U. S. A., submitted a report accounting for the money used from May 10, 1917, to February 28, 1919. During these twenty months the Red Cross received about $400,000,000. During that period, the chapters increased from 562 to 3,724 and the membership from 486,194 adults to 20,000,000 adults and 11,000,000 juniors.

In July, 1914, Serbia mobilized 489,500 men; in September of the same year she had 539,710 men under her flag and in August of 1915, she had more than 572,121 men in the trenches. It is said that from July 1, to October 1, of 1915, a total number of 707,343 men, amounting to 24 per cent. of her whole population, were mobilized. As regards the Jugoslav volunteers, there were 40,000 men from Serbia. After the Rumanian dis aster 15,000 Jugoslavs were transferred to Saloniki and covered themselves with glory during the offensive of 1918. From America, France, Italy, and Russia, there were some 10,000 men who fought vigorously. It is said that about 100,000 Jugoslavs were volunteers fighting for the Allies against

the common foe.

The First Underground Railway in the Far East reported It is that the charter for the building of an underground railway has been given by the Japanese railway authorities to Mr. Tokuji Hayakawa and other promoters who some time ago applied for the rights. The project will take several years and when completed will be the first underground railway in the Far East. The Company will start with 25,000,000 yen. The plan is to have three periods. The trunk line running from Shinagawa to Asakusa via Uyeno is to be the first; this line needs three years to finish and by the end of that year it can be opened to the public. The branches will be opened later and the whole system takes ten years altogether. It is said that this railway will re lieve the congestion of passenger traffic.

Contributed Articles THE LITERARY REVOLUTION AND WHAT IS LITERATURE By Yü-t'ang Lin (Awarded First Prize in the Monthly November Essay Contest.)

The bankruptcy

of the Chinese literary language has long been declared since Dr. Suh Hu launched his little essay on literary reform in the spring of 1917, (La Jeunesse, Vol. II, No. 5). During the two years of public discussion that follow, the issue has assumed a national scale of importance, and it seems, from all indications, that the vernacular language has obtained a permanent footing on Chinese society.” One feels grateful for the measure of success that is greater than could reasonably be expected, and which warrants the highest hopes

for the intellectual future of China.

two different results for the defenders and

held in China cannot deceive us as to the real trend of popular opinion. That trend may be characterized as the supreme ab

sorption in studies of mere rhetoric, in separation from, and even opposition to, the development of real inner power of thought, imagination, and sense of reality. To improvise a classification of the popular and representative criteria of literary judgment, we may say literature is judged on the merits of (1) sound melody and rhythm (yin, -chieh, Wade); (2) embel lished vocabulary, (wén,-tz'u,); (3) beauty of thought (wen, ssu, literary thought); and (4) literary force or momentum (wen, ch'i,). Is not the emptiness of the literary ideal at once appar ent? We can easily see the superficiality of the first two criteria, the sensuous basis of the first, and the pedantry of the second. What does the third test, “literary thought” connote but beauti ful turns of thought as an elegant play in style in composition? for we must remember that this “literary thought” which allows no delay, no careful qualification, no ushering in of sufficient illustrative material, is far different from the thought of a modern-trained mind. And what is “literary force” but a rhetori cal requirement that the lines of an essay should flow swiftly and directly toward a common end in pursuance of artistic unity. Judged in terms of modern culture, this ch'i, or force, amounts to no more than a dogmatic air of assuming that what one says is so easily and certainly right. No one will deny that one can not maintain scientific reserve and at the same time write with this literary “force.”

the vernacular language because they ſail to find in it that profusion of variegated vocabulary, and mysterious suggestive phrases and illusions which they do find in the literary language, because they see that unwieldiness and inconvenience for the purposes of literary juggling, which therefore they mistake for a mark of inadequacy as a literary medium. One is sometimes tempted to be more liberal, to grant the literary language its own standard of evaluation, and then, with this standard, apply it to the utilitarian test. Granted that the chief end of literature is pleasure, that the old literary prose when done by master hands is a beautiful work of art, and that we shall continue to have the taste for enjoying beauty for beauty's sake, as hope we do, do the fruits of the theory justify us in continuing to believe in it? Are the results worth the pains? With all our young boys spending the best part of their time reading and singing old literature, with all the superior talents exhausting their energies in polishing the mere form of

writing, how much truly beautiful literature have we produced, even literature in the old sense? How much of the average writing that confronts us in the pages of friendly correspondence newspaper articles and books (how many call themselves books!), as soon as the language is brought into the service of modern thought, how much of that great mass of prevailing literature, even by able hands, shows an awkwardness of form and signs of effort that are far from giving us the satisfaction which is the reward of the contemplation of a perfect work of art? Has not the lesson been driven sufficiently home yet that literary art in the old sense is not within the accomplishment of the average talent? and

you will be surprised as I was, when I first heard this question was raised, that of internationalization of Chinese railroads. For, why should China's railroads be internationalized, and not that of any other

country?

China is an independent nation, and as such, no other nation should interfere with her internal administration, and certainly not her systems of communication which form the arteries of a nation's industrial life. Yet, this is a question that has been engaging the attention of the Chinese public since many years past. It was first suggested by the British Minister at Peking, Sir Robert Jordan, to the Chinese Government in 1913, but was politely rejected by Yuan-shi-ki. The end of the World War, however, brought the issue again to the fore, with renewed interest and vigor. It has recently grown to such popularity as to enlist the support of a large number of prominent Chinese from all walks of life. In fact, the movement went so far as to cause the Chinese Government in

China began to build her railroads some thirty years ago, the first railroad being the Shanghai-Wosung Railway of 20 miles. Since then, only 6,873 miles of railroads have been built, or at the rate of about 230 miles a year. Considering the transporta tion needs of the approximately four hundred million popula

tion, the ratio is about one mile for 57,000 people, while the United States, with a population of only one hundred and fifty millions, has a railroad mileage of nearly 300,000 miles, or at

the ratio of one mile for every five thousand people, not mention ing the transportation facilities.

The question naturally

arises, what is the cause that has been retarding the progress of railroad building in China? It is certainly not because the Chinese people have not grasped the importance of railroads, for they have fully realized that ever since the first railroad was built. Nor is it because the roads

Of

the

greater part

of the present roads too has been constructed under the Concession system. Within the concession or “spheres of interest,” the most favored nation has exclusive rights and privileges to railroad and harbor construction, mining, etc. Whenever a road is to be built, the loan must be contracted from this country, provided that the Chinese can finance it themselves, and the engineers must be employed and materials must be purchased from the same. In case of a road passing through many provinces or many “spheres of interests,” great difficulties arise. The Tientsin–Pukow Road is an outstanding example. The projected line ran through Shantung, the then German “sphere of interest,” and northern Kiangsu, the British “sphere of interest.” The complicated situation was solved only after long years of negotiation, by contracting an Anglo-German loan, with the understanding that the nothern portion shall be con structed by the Germans, and the southern

portion by the British.

From this example, you can readily see that the powers are very jealously guarding their “spheres of interest.” It is just like gambling on a checker board, each player tries to get the better

As

a result

of their opposition, Liangshi-Yi and others were

requested by the Chinese Government to draw up a plan of their own, and, in response to that, they offered the following sug gestions. (1) Railroads built with loans political in nature, and under foreign ownership and operation, shall be bought back by the Chinese Government with a consolidated loan from a foreign syndicate. (2) Railroads that are already under govern ment ownership and operation, although built with foreign capi tal, shall be excluded from this consideration, (3) Railroads for foreign already contracted, which loans have been whether in

PURVEYORS OF

Roestaurant and Laundry Supplies TO CHINESE CAMERCHANTS The development of Chinese commerce in New York has been closely linked with the House of Randle's. John Randles, the founder and for 56 years the directing force of the splendid institution he created, was, undoubtedly, more intimate with the Chinese tradesmen of the East than any other American citizen. He was a familiar figure in the Chinese section and from close association and knowledge of Chinese character and custom perceived their sterling worth and high integrity.

He opened wide the credit gates of his business to them and many a flourishing patrons.

of the Chinese Students'

Columbus, Ohio, which was attended by one hun dred and twelve boys and twelve girls representing thirty-three different colleges and universities in the section. The place was very well chosen. The most beautiful cam University,

Middle West is located in the political as well as in dustrial center of beautiful Ohio. The university and city were generous and hospitable. The University, the Chamber of Com merce, the Presbyterian and the Methodist Churches, the city Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. each gave a reception to the delegates. The Buckeye Steel Casting Co., the Federal Glass Co., the State Penitentiary and Institution for the Feeble Minded, and the greatest printing house of the city also extended their pus in the

invitations. The city papers published Conference activities.

special columns of the

Another feature of the Conference was marked by the presence of such distinguished men as Dr. Ferguson who gave an analysis of the Shantung issue, Mr. A. B. Humphrey who ex plained the object of the China Society, Dr. Thompson who gave an address on international good will, and President Wilson who hit the city first during his tour and reported the League of Nations to the people.

The Conference undertook the biggest public entertainment that has ever been known in the history of the Alliance. Mr. S. Hung's, “The Rainbow,” a three-act play, portraying the sen timent of the Chinese nation toward the European war and the Shantung decision was staged by three girls and eight boys. Two performances were given.

The program consisted of some Chinese stunts and music in addition to the play. “China's Fight for Democracy,” a pageant written by Mr. L. Sun, was staged with the help of five trunks of Chinese theatrical cos borrowed from the Chicago Chinese Merchants’ Club. Over seventy persons took part in the pageant. The gorgeous ness made the production the first and best Chinese pageant ever given in this country. Both the play and the pageant were

happy to report that the criticism, so far as I know, re garding this year's Quarterly is very favorable. The quantity of materials exceeds the past record.

TREASURER'S REPORT OF THE 1919 ANNUAL CON FERENCE OF THE MID-WEST SECTION, C. S. A. The financial outcome of the Tenth Annual Conference of the Mid-West Section was rather unsatisfactory when compared with those of the previous conferences of the last several years. The causes of it are well known to the delegates who attended the Conference, and it is only for the information of the rest of the members of the Mid-West Section that the treasurer wishes to say that those causes were the high cost of board and room, and the unexpected conditions (the street car strike in the city on the days when the entertainments were given, for instance) which led to the losses in the investments as shown below. How ever, the losses have been largely made good by emergency contributions which were generously given by the delegates. There is still a number of persons who have not paid the contributions they pledged. They are hereby requested to make their payments at an early date to the sectional treasurer, Mr.

T. C. Li,

Ni and some others that the social brought about a great success, The American feeling towards the Chinese has been increased, both in intensity and friendship, as it was very well shown by the reception given by Miss Buell, a good friend of Dr. T. C. Wang, on November 30th. The Chinese students were well represented in the Michigan delega tion to the Students’ Volunteer Movement held in Des Moines, Iowa. Out of the eighty delegates sent by the University, nine of them (five girls and four boys), were Chinese. With great inspiration and power of God these delegates, certainly, will pledge themselves to do greater work for the Chinese Students' Christian Association and for all Chinese K. H. WU as a whole.

BALTIMORE The Chinese

students in Baltimore held their second meeting at the banquet “Celestial” in a form at 6 P. M. in the New Year eve of 1919. This meeting, besides being a customary New Year celebration, was held as a congratulation to Miss Elizabeth Sze, who will soon be promoted to

in the Johns Hopkins Hospital; and as a farewell party for Mr. K. L. Lou who, after his graduation from Johns Hopkins University in the coming February, will transfer to Har vard. As the club is rather small in size, no business discussion took place in this meeting. Before the banquet, free, hearty conversation was the program. A visit to The New Academy of Music, one of the best theatres in Baltimore, ensued after the banquet. The club was honored by the presence of Mr. Frederic C. Sze from Harvard, Messrs. B. Y. Chu and C. H. Hsu from Columbia, and Mr. P. T. Hsieh from Dartmouth. The members of the Baltimore Chinese Stu dent Club, here, express their cordial welcome to their honorable guests Once more. P. C.

Miss Pettie favored us with a vocal solo while Mr. Fillmore gave a compre hensive speech on the religious works in China. An invitation was ex tended by him to the club for our next meeting to be held at their home. Miss Fillmore and Miss Baker, also our guests, entertained us with joy ful stories. The club voted to contribute a year's Chinese Students’ Monthly to the General Library of Cincinnati.

The programme was conducted in a somewhat old fashioned way with singing and talks.

Though the meetings were social, they were never theless not without the outflowing evidence of scholastic activity which is now popularized as a means of attraction instead of being a deterring influence. To illustrate: At one meeting, Mr. C. T. Chu discussed the subject: “A man with a scientific mind versus a man with a crooked mind”; at another, Mr. H. H. Chung talked on “Flowers Through a Lay man's Eye"; at still another, Dr. H. Wu talked on “Everyday Doctoring.” On December 23rd, the Chinese students of Harvard, in conjunc tion with those of Technology, had a Christmas party and invited thereto students of other institutions in Greater Boston. The occasion was a very enjoyable one. A very entertaining program, consisting chiefly of music, had specially been prepared through the energetic efforts of Miss Alice Wong, who presided. Rooms were illuminated with candles.

A word must be said about the financial part. Expenditures, in volving more than four hundred dollars, were enthusiastically met by the Chinese merchants in Pittsburgh and members of our club, who, by so doing, proved to be ever ready to do their part for China. From the past experiences it has been shown that a closer cooperation between the stu dents and merchants is highly desirable. Let us work toward that end. to the fact that our merchants in Pittsburgh have shown an co-operative spirit toward our club and have contributed their bit unusual morally and financially in helping out to a great extent the last two pub given by the club, entertainments was made clear that something acquaintance should be done secure better and closer relationship among the merchants here, and the members the club.

WASHINGTON Our November meeting was held the day after Thanksgiving. We were successful in securing additional members for the Alliance, thus en titling us this year to three representatives in the Western Section. As there was no business discussion, our interests that evening were centered around the lantern slides. The pictures were clearly explained; first by Benjamin Cheng, on those of Peking, and then by Quincey Cheng, on those of Ming Tung. These rare lantern slides, brought over by one of the new students from China, certainly added much to the knowledge of those students who have never visited China. On December 29th, a special meeting was called to introduce the two new students, Mr. T. C. Van and Mr. C. Chen of Chicago. They originally belonged to the party of students which arrived in this country last summer. On account of their dislike of Chicago, they have now come to our university to study. We are more than glad to have them with us, as we are striving to make our club the strongest in body and spirit that this State will ever have. The total membership of our club at present is twenty-eight. and significant event took place on New Year's eve. The Chinese Students' Club of Washington gave a so-called “Fancy Dress Party.” The significance lies in that it is the first time the students of this city have carried out such a type of social, and also the first time the students have the opportunity to meet together in a social body on

Book Review ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY CHINESE POEMS, WALEY.

Alfred A. Knopf, New York,

translated by ARTHUR

1919.

As

the title indicates, the book contains 17o poems, some of which are lengthy rather translations and most of which have never before been ren dered in English language. For a Chinese to read them there is a peculiar sense

of enjoyment which comes, perhaps, from his appreciation, both of the literary excellence of the poems which he has learned in their original and of the faithfulness with which Mr. Arthur Waley has rendered them. Read these delicious lines on “The Ruins of Lo-yang,” by Tsao Chih, and any one who is at all acquainted with the history of the so-called “Three Kingdoms” knows that the poem is a lament of the city of Lo yang, which had been sacked by Tung Cho's troops: I climb to the ridge of the Pei Mang Mountain, And look down on the city of Lo-yang. In Lo-yang how still it is! Palaces and houses all burnt to ashes. Walls and fences all broken and gaping, Thorns and brambles shooting up to the sky.

Reasonable Basis of Compromise

In our last issue we discussed the civil strife in China and found that the only solution to the problem was to compromise. We also found that unless compromise should be effected, the inevitable consequence of the civil strife would be the foreign intervention and

of our national independence. Following the sequence of this discussion, we naturally come to the problem as to what shall be the basis of compromise. For unless we can offer some solution, we cannot rightfully advocate compromise. And it is to offer this solution—the reasonable basis

the loss

of compromise—that

this editorial is written. Undoubtedly the crux of the strife is the constitutionality of the two parliaments. The South holds that the dissolution of the parliament old is unconstitutional and so the re-convened parliament at Canton is the only de jure parliament of China. On the other hand, the North maintain that the term of the Canton parliament is over and that the de jure parliament of China is the new one now assembled at Peking. Both sides claim to be the de jure parliament China, of both sides condemn the other as the illegal parliament, and both refuse to yield to the election of another new parliament. And it was precisely over this issue of the constitutionality that the first Shanghai peace conference broke off. The South argue that the dissolution

of the old parliament in

is unconstituitonal. For the president is not given the power by of dissolution the Provisional Constitution which is silent on this question. vital For it is the established rule of constitutional gov ernment that the executive, whether in constitutional monarchy or republic, is limited in power by the grants of the constitution and that unless the constitution states the specific power, or the power assumed is clearly implied in the grants already made, the execu tive is at his own peril to assume any power not granted. And now give president the Provisional Constitution does not to the the power of dissolution, nor can this power be clearly implied in any of the powers already granted, and so the executive has exceeded the 1917

limits of the authorities granted, which makes the act of dissolution unconstitutional.

The South further argue that they brought about the Revolu tion of 1911; they made the Provisional Constitution of Nanking, and so it should be they, and not the new parliament at Peking, or 5

subjugate the North. And yet unless the South can win the public opinion of China, there is no weapon left with which the South can assert their claim to restore the old parliament. Further,

the longer the old parliament stays at Canton, the more out-of-date it will be. The legislature of any nation is sup posed to represent the public opinion of the nation, and that is the

Can they still claim that they are the authorized agents of the Chinese people through whom alone their will is to be expressed? Of course there are people who believe thy are, but the hard fact remains that they were elected in 1912 and that they are in danger of being out of harmony with the public opinion of China, and that, what is worse, the longer they stay at Canton, the more out of-date they will be, and the worse their claim will be to the repre sentation of the public opinion of China. On the other hand, the North will have just as hard a time as the South in maintaining the legal existence of the new parliament at Peking. For the new parliament was elected on the basis of the Revised Election Law which has very little sanction of the Provi sional Constitution. Besides, the Peking Parliament does not repre sent the whole of China, for the South is either not represented at poorly represented.

It deeply grieves me to find the South and the North still disunited, to witness the consequent suffering of our innocent people, and to

World Progress The League Council Opens Its First Formal Meeting The council of the League of Nations formally held its first meeting at noon February 12, 1920, with eight nations represented, which were Belgium, Brazil, Great Britain, France, Greece, Italy, Japan and Spain. The United States, not having ratified the Treaty of Peace, was absent from her chair at the council table. Arthur J. Balfour, representing Great Britain, being suggested by Leon Bourgeois, representative of France, assumed the chair, and de livered his speech of welcome to the delegates. As regards the plans for reorganization, the council intrusted M. Bour geois with organization of the permanent court of international justice

Political Unrest.

After a week's return from Paris, the British Prime Minister, Mr. Lloyd George, has not shown any attempt in expressing his immediate Consequently rumors about program respecting the Russian question. the divergence of opinion in the cabinet concerning this political crisis are numerous. A representative evening paper in England presented the difference of view upon the Russian question between the Prime Minister and the Secretary of War, Mr. Winston Churchill, as the sign of split in the cabinet. Another significant fact showing the political unrest was vigorous the attack on Mr. Churchill by a paper edited by a personal friend of the Prime Minister which has been a strong supporter of Mr. Lloyd George. No matter whether it is a truth or a falsehood, it is not uncertain that the intention of the cabinet is not to send a force of 200,000 soldiers to Caucasus, but to secure the safe withdrawal of the British Mission and the Russian refugees. 2.

Industrial Crisis.

It has been the idea of many people that the cost of living will come down with the entrance of the returned soldiers into industries. But the fact is just contrary to their expectations. This is true not only in the United States, but also in the European countries, especially in Eng land.

The

causes are as

follow:

19

THE CHINESE STUDENTS’ MONTHLY

2O

Vol. XV

The scarcity of machinery

and tools limits the productive capacity, consequently brings which about the high cost of living. freight The increase of rates is another contributory cause to the high cost of living. The increase is due to the shortage of supply of ships and scarcity of coal in Europe. The freight rate in the Atlantic has been increased more than 300 per cent. and that of the British rail ways, 50 per cent. These are signs showing that the British labor and capital are in deadlock. No doubt, this labor movement in Great Britain is aiming at wage-adjustment through the instrumentality of direct action or strike.

New Movements in the United States 1. Aircraft Policy. After the Great War the United States has increased her army and naval forces in view of the necessity to maintain right active might. Mili tary training and military science are considered as of great importance in university education. In addition to this a new policy respecting the “air force” has been adopted by an agreement between the War and Naval Departments. The “air force” will consist of three divisions, the functions of which are as follows:

“Army aircraft will

operate from bases on shore as an arm of the army against enemy mobile aircraft in defense of shore establishments, and alone or in co-operation with other arms of the army, or with the navy against enemy vessels engaged in attacks on the coast, such as bombardment, attempts to land troops or mine-laying, and attacks on ships in the vicinity of defended ports. “Navy aircraft will operate from mobile floating bases or from naval

air stations on shore as an arm of the fleet for overseas scouting, against enemy establishments on shore in co-operation with other types of naval forces or alone when their mission is primarily naval, and to protect coastal sea communications by reconnaisance, by control of coastal sea areas, convoy operations, and attacks on enemy submarines, aircraft or surface vessels engaged in trade prevention or in passage through the Sea area.

“Marine aircraft will operate in connection with an advance which operations of the army are not represented.”

base

in

President Wilson's Proposal to the Rail Strikers. Upon the request of the rail men to increase their wages, President Wilson has made a proposal to the representatives of the Railroad Brotherhoods for a settlement. His proposal to be “based upon justice to all interests” was a refusal to grant any general increase of wages.

2.

The idea of the President is that, if an increase in pay were granted the men, the roads would seek an increase in freight rates which would mean an increase in living costs. Inasmuch as the unions were pressing strongly for a reduction of living costs, this was a clever answer to the union spokesman. The President's proposal was, however, not expected to prevent the strike the near future.

Economic Reconstruction of Baltic Provinces Is Handicapped by a fusal to Recognize Their Dejure Independence

Re

Colonel Tallents, British Commissioner for the Baltic Provinces, to the Supreme Economics Council his idea concerning the necessity of a clear understanding throughout the world of the condition of the new Baltic Provinces with a view to their economic reconstruction on sound basis. He pointed out that the refusal to recognize the dejure independence of the Baltic Provinces by Great Britain which had pre viously recognized the de facto independence of the Baltic Provinces, Esthonia, Letuia, and Lithuania, on the ground that the ultimate status of the Baltic Provinces could not be definitely decided until the wider presented

question of the settlement

of Russia was decided, has resulted in economic push these small countries toward

effects which have the tendency to bankruptcy and to internal anarchy.

He further pointed out that the Supreme Economic Council, though it did much to satisfy the vital demands of Eastern Europe for food supplies, was practically a philanthropic body and none of the countries lately engaged in the war can now afford to make charitable contributions to Eastern Europe on anything like the scale required for the recon struction of its economic life. There the economic reconstruction of all east European countries must depend on the establishment of relations between them and foreign financial and commercial interests on a basis of considerable profit, involving the idea that the former receive the immediate assistance for the development of their own assets, while the latter derive their profits over a term of years. If the dejure independence of the Baltic Provinces is not recognized a great disadvantage will result, so far as the economic reconstruction of these small countries is con cerned. It is suggested that the Allies or the League of Nations should set up a small commission, to which the governments of the Baltic Provinces can submit the terms of contracts into which they desire to enter. The commission should be empowered to indorse the proposed contract if it is shown that the contract so submitted is reasonable in its terms and deals with the assets properly belonging to the state. The following advantages would result from this scheme:

In studying the Chino-Japanese relations of the last twenty or thirty years, it is impossible to fail to notice that it has been the out standing feature of Japanese diplomacy to browbeat China on the Almost devoid of a single of which the Japanese Government can boast as evidencing consideration and good-will for China, the diplomatic history

Read them and analyze them, and no one will be left in doubt as to the nature of Japanese policy towards China. It is a policy of the strong bullying the weak; it is a policy of browbeating China; in short, it is the “gun-boat policy” for which Japan has been notorious. Now the facts of the Foochow clash are well established, and it is pertinent to ask: Is it lawful for These are the facts

of meeting the demands of the Chinese Government for the removal of the Japanese Consul-General at Foochow, payment of an adequate indemnity for the dead and the wounded, punishment that instead

of the responsible ring-leaders, and an apology by the Japanese Consul-General to the Chinese authorities at Foochow, the Japa nese Government has evaded the real issue. Instead of facing the facts of the Foochow case as given above, the Japanese Minister in Peking has insisted during his negotiations with the Chinese Gov ernment upon tracing the cause of the clash. In other words, the Japanese diplomat in Peking has essayed to establish a false premise by asserting that the anti-Japanese boycott movement as has been carried on by the Chinese students and merchants throughout the length and breadth of China for the last eight months is the real cause of the Foochow outrage. This is certainly a clever ar at issue. Let there be no misunderstanding, however, that China will not stand by her guns. If the Japanese Government should insist upon trac ing the “cause” of the Foochow question, the Chinese Government,

While we were still struggling to enter the street, the representatives of foreign ministers arrived, and our chosen representatives at once conferred with them. They gave us encouraging speeches, admiring our patriotic showing and promising to help China at the Peace table through their representatives. Former Minister Reinsch especially showed us his admiration for our work by sending some of his secretaries to see and talk with us. But the Japanese standing either by the windows or at the doors of their quarters, sneered at us and made a few unpleasant remarks. This aroused our anger at once, and the whole student regiment, after thanking all the foreign representatives except the Japanese for their kindness and sympathy, turned toward Tsao Ju-lin's house, which is not far from the lagation quarters. result on the loss

The government's purpose was to try the fourteen men and make them confess that they had burned Tsao's house. When they were brought to trial, they said as one voice that they did beat Chang merely because of their patriotic indignation, and they regretted that he did not die; but they did not commit the crime of burning Tsao's house. At this time we owed a great deal to the great Mr. Wong Chen-hwei, an authority on legal questions in Peking, for he protested very vigorously against the government's taking any action against the students. He wrote, on the first day of the trial, a lengthy pamphlet in which he mentioned a similar case at the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War, in which some Japanese who had burned a Russian Legation were exonerated. “Meanwhile an organization was formed by the students, which was called the Peking College Students' Union.

“The second part of the story opens about a week after the release of the students by the government. During this week unexpected events happened. Mr. Fu Tsang-hsiang, then Minister of Education, was a strong supporter of our rights in the movement, and had helped in re leasing the students. The government wished to deal a hard blow on him, but he was too wise to let the government take any action against him. He went away from his office and hid somewhere in the West Mountains. In the meantime the government, controlled by the An-Foo Party, sent Tien, a strong An-Fooist, to replace him. This would have strengthened the government's control over the students, and so it set us in motion again. “On May 18 we declared practically all the schools in Peking closed. We formed a new organization called the Peking Students' Union, in cluding Tsing Hua and all middle schools, and the old one was dissolved. Another ultimatum was sent to the government to demand the return of Mr. Fu to his office. Not granting our demand, the government fur ther passed a series of acts forbidding the freedom of speech and asso ciation by the students. More than this, many newspapers were forced to close. Soldiers were stationed everywhere to watch over our actions.

watchfulness, what lamps are set? Why is their dimness in the holy place? Did careless worshippers their tasks forget that thus the brightness

fades,

And threatens heaven with engulfing shades? The flowers offer radiance and perfume, Their undiminished praise the songbirds bring; But where the nations worship in the gloom, A thousand lights are vainly flickering, Dimmed by cruel selfishness and base desire, Unfanned by faith into unfailing fire. Quenched by the poison fumes of devilish hate, Smothered by greed of wealth and lust of power, Fed by the few who trustful work and wait, They strive with darkness hour after hour; Mere candles in an infinite of space, They hardly serve to mark God's patient face.

Only two lamps burn steadfast; China, one, Thy dauntlessness before the threats of might Renews to quenchless flame; and not alone, For by it India's offering shows as bright, Fed for uncounted ages by the stream From truth's deep wells of pure humanity, Upon the altar beacon-bright they beam; Sending their radiance unfailingly Across the chasms dark of time and space, They keep the smile of light on Heaven's face.

New Year Dinner of World's Chinese Students’ Federation

A very large

gathering attended the New Year dinner of the World's Chinese Students' Federation held last night at the ex-German Club. Dr. T. H. Lee presided. Dr. Yat-sen sent a mes sage expressing his regret that an attack of influenza made his absence unavoidable. Mr. Dai Chi-tao, editor of the Shing Kee Ping Lun, in the course of an address, quoted Mencius who strongly advocated the fra ternal policy of common jubilation. He believed that the fact of several hundred persons gathering together at a social function on New Year's Day was proof that the spirit of brotherhood has much advanced in social China. When dinner was over Miss Eling Tong delighted the audience with captivating music on the piano, and this was followed by the two songs sung by Miss Grace Yang and Dr. Samuel E. Chiu, respectively, both of a which were warmly applauded. Mr. Chev. Z. Volpicelli, Consul-General for Italy, gave a lengthy address in English followed by some remarks in mandarin. After re ferring to his long stay in China and his interest in China's welfare the veteran speaker drew a vivid word picture of the life and poetic achieve ments of Italy's poet of world celebrity, Dante. He found a number of instances where similarities existed between the career of Dante and that of the great Chinese sage, Confucius. Mr. Volpicelli explained the char acter of Dante's divine comedy and hoped that a Chinese translation might soon be accomplished. A number of paintings done by a famous French artist illustrating Heaven, etc., were screened. The address was listened to with great interest. A series of moving pictures was screened showing life in a Chinese kindergarten established by the Commercial Press, Ltd. which prepared the files at their own works. The entertainment was thoroughly enjoyed by all the participants. —From the Federation Weekly. and

IN MEMORIAM Kuei Lung Wang,

1894-1920

Mr. Kuei Lung Wang was born in Shein-Kiang, Kiangsu Province, 1894. He was born of parents of high education, fine character and high ideals. His boyhood was spent in preparation for higher education in the Primary School. With the wise guidance of his father, he went through the primary school successfully. After graduating from the primary school, Mr. Wang began to fight for the higher education and entered Nan Yang College in Shanghai. There he showed his great possibilities and able leader ship, taking an active part in the student activities. With the ambi tion and vigor of youth, with the salvation of his country ever present in his thoughts, he applied himself and graduated from Nan Yang College in 1915, with high honor, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. Mr. Wang's effort and labor were rewarded when the Board of Communication chose to send him abroad for further training and practical experience. He came to the United States in the fall of 1916 and later enrolled in the student graduate course of the Gen eral Electric Company at Schenectady, New York. Here he distin guished himself in many student activities. Mr. Wang was a member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the Adi son Club of Schenectady, the Cosmopolitan Club of Schenectady, an active member of the Chinese Student Club of Schenectady, the Chinese Students' Alliance of America and a member of the Chinese Students' Christian Association of North America. Never satisfied with what education he had, but with a thirst for higher scientific knowledge that he might serve his country more efficiently, he sacrificed many comforts of life and entered the Ohio State University at Columbus, Ohio, in the fall of 1918. No doubt many of his fellow students and friends still remember his unceasing labor for the Chinese Students’ Club and the welfare of his fellow

Our first meeting of the semester took place in Teachers’ College on February 6th. Besides the discussion of various matters of business, its main feature was election of new officers. On February 13th, the club gave a reception to the Educational Mission composed of leading educational authorities from different parts of China. Ex-Vice-Minister of Education, Honorable Yuan Tsi-tao and President Chen Pao-chuan of Peking Teachers' College addressed the club. We were also fortunate to hear from Dr. Gilbert Reid and Prof. McLouth of New York University who will before long leave for China. Our social program for the evening was unique in that Dr. Brun ner, a Swiss student at Union Theological Seminary, favored us with his own piano compositions; Miss Martha Cory of Nanking gave us a few delightful songs, while Miss S. A. Chiu sang a Chinese song afford ing great satisfaction; Mr. A. T. Wong entertained us with Chinese opera. and Mr. Tang’s “Butterfly Boxing" imparted color to our social program. The officers for this year are as follows: Mr. Y. G. Chen, president; Miss Y. Y. Yang, vice-president; Miss Wan Chuck, English secretary; Mr. C. H. Li, Chinese secretary; Mr. C. Y.

Mao of Pittsburgh. The play was so well pre sented that the audience felt that they could not but sympathize with us in the Shantung tragedy, which was depicted in the play. We won a sympathizing heart and we made a wonderful success. We received piles of letters of appreciation from the audience in spite of the sore legs they suffered on account of the lack of seats to accommodate them.

“Big hit scored by the Chinese play” and “Standing room audience greeted the Chinese entertainments” were the headlines which appeared in the Champaign News the following mornings. The admission for the entertainments was twenty-five cents, and the proceeds were equally con

Chorus Oh, Shantung, we will strive for thee, The grasping hand must not succeed, To tear thee from thy native hearth,

America would ne'er approve, To see our country grossly wronged, Thru greed deprived of those we love, Our honor crushed, our rights dethroned, Nay! nay! this wrong must not endure, A righteous hand will overthrow, And make our country more secure, From grasping hands and freedom's foe.

Mrs. Hail spoke to us on the subject of “Moral Fiber,” in which she stated that the materialiastic and moral elements were working hand in hand here in America. Miss Clark gave us strong advice in serving China upon returning from the States. Dr. Hume finally delivered his speech on the principle of moral convic tion. The customary tea and refreshment were then served after these entertaining and instructive speeches.

Book Review

JAPAN IN WORLD POLITICS By K. K. Kawakami (MacMillan Co., New York,

1919)

After a few of Mr. Kawakami's books, one cannot help ask ing why there are not any books written by Chinese and giving a purely Chinese point of view of the Far Eastern problems that Mr. Kawakami was attempting to explain. In his latest work, the author was endeavor ing to find cause for the apparently aggressive policy of Japan. The first chapter deals with what is termed the Japanese instinct of self-preserva tion, and that, it appears, forms the cornerstone of Mr. Kawakami's arguments. The encroachments of the West on Eastern Asia are fraught with dangers for the island empire. To minimize such dangers, Japan was forced to adopt a policy of benign solicitude for the neighboring reading

and the Chinese. Suffice to say, Mr. Kawakami's of the English language certainly has enabled him to put an apparently strong case for Japan. The reviewer, however, cannot agree with him. There are too many things taken for granted. We cannot agree with his conclusions when the premises are at variance with our knowledge. The point on which he bases his construction of the Sino-Japanese relations of today was the fear that China was bent on the absorption of Korea in 1894. It must have appeared to Japan at that time that all nations were conspiring against her existence. It is easy, on this basis, to prove and to justify Japan's solicitude for Korea and also to justify her subsequent course in the war with China. Next came the Russian scare, and Japan must needs fight Finally the very weakness of China that invites European that away. encroachment enlisted the sympathy of Japan, and since China was loathe to accept Japanese protection that protection must be pressed on her with adequate provision for the co-operation of Europe and America.

reviewer does not intend to discuss the matter to any great extent. The very fallacy of Mr. Kawakami's arguments is obvious. China never Japan's Furthermore, Japan menaced existence in 1894. herself proceeded discussing to annex Korea without whether that was a menace to China (and in this connection it is interesting to note that Mr. Kawakami for gets to discuss Japanese action in regard to the menace it constitutes to China). Again, the war with Russia ended with Japan instead of Russia being firmly entrenched in Manchuria, an occurrence just as menacing to China as Russian occupation of the province. Mr. Kawakami in his very effort of earnestly vindicating Japanese action failed signally to ex plain why Japanese encroachments were not more dangerous to China's existence than the encroachments of powers thousands of miles away. We will, however, not press the point. In his latest work the author really combined two subjects in one. In fact, he was chiefly concerned with American-Japanese and Sino-Japanese relations. Of the latter we have made passing reference, and of the former it is best that the Chinese 71

Students' Monthly should be silent and not intrude upon subjects beyond its scope. All in all, Mr. Kawakami has succeeded in putting in quite convincing style the Japanese point of view in many matters vitally con cerning both China and America, convincing especially to those who are

not very intimately acquainted with the history of the Far East. That we do not agree with him, however, is no reason why we should not ask every Chinese student to study his books (and other books by Japanese authors) if only for the purpose of understanding Japanese psychology. We certainly need Chinese who could write just as well as Mr. Kawakami to try to convince the world that our viewpoint in matters relevant to our existence is not altogether negligible and incorrect.

PROFILES FROM CHINA By Eunice Tietjens (Alfred A. Knopf, New York,

1919)

This

thin booklet of 76 pages is a collection of the so-called “sketches in free verse” of people and things seen in the interior and treaty ports of China. They are very cleverly done. The announcement by the pub a mistake, that “this book sets forth, in swift and vivid pictures in verse, free the emotional gleanings of a winter spent by Mrs. Tietjens in

city in the interior.” The sub-title of the book, “Sketches in Free Verse of People and Things Seen in the Interior,” is also a mis nomer. The feeling registered by the authoress is of the most diverse sort. The authoress does not confine her impressions or “emotional gleanings” of a Chinese city in the interior. In fact, had she not been in Pa-tze-kiao she would not have known the abandoned God, and if she had not visted Tai-shan, she would have nothing to say about “The most sacred mountain.” Peking she considers as the dirtiest city, but for the sake of visiting the Altar of Heaven, which was apparently one of the objectives of her North China trip she lingered in the Chinese capital for a Chinese

quite some time.

Now it is truly difficult

to give an accurate

estimate of this collection of “sketches in free but we will not do any injustice to Mrs. Tietjens if we should let her sketches speak for themselves. One can easily imagine, however, just what sort of “emotional gleanings” has taken verse,”

possession of the authoress, when one comes to know that she is able to write poems in “free verse” on some such subject as, “The Sikh Police man: A British Subject,” “The Lady of Easy Virtue: An American,” and “In the Mixed Court: Shanghai.” Mrs. Tietjens is at her best when she sings “The Lady of Easy Virtue: An American,” from which we quote the

following: Your slim body,

here in the cafe, moves brightly in and out. Green satin, and a dance, white wine and gleaming laughter, with two nodding earrings—these are Lotus (name of the Lady). And in the painted eyes cold steel, and on the lips a vulgar jest; Hands that fly over to the coat lapels, familiar to the wrists and to the hair of men. These too are Lotus.

This unfortunate constitutional arrangement has led to many a deadlock. For instance, in 1916, Tuan Chi-jue wanted to declare war on Germany, but the parliament refused, unless Tuan should re sign. The inevitable consequence of such a deadlock was that the executive was driven to resort to the means necessary to bring about the harmony between the executive and the legislature and yet un

(2) In the absence of such constitutional brakes as the vote of want of confidence and the power of dissolution, the western states develop the extra-legal institution of the political party to perform the necessary function of harmonizing the legislature and the execu tive.

policy of passive resistance, and wait for a chance to turn the table on Japan, we can be sure that we will bring Japan to her knees. We can continue the boycott until we have starved Japan into submission. Although the boycott hits us as well as Japan, we can still trade with the other powers, while Japan must carry on the major part of her trade with us. We must exercise this weapon of discipline until Japan realizes her own wrongs and repents thereof. Besides, the prospects

for us yet to sign the Paris

Peace Treaty

is very bright. The United States Senate has again passed the reser vations, and the Allies have signified their willingness to accept the reservations. Now if the United States can sign the Treaty with the reservations—one of which is on Shantung—can we not have the same right to sigr, the Treaty with only one reservation on Shantung? Further, to submit the

League of Nations is a far better move than direct with Japan. Although the members of the Supreme Council of the League are made of the very same nations that have awarded Shantung to Japan, we can yet more safely look for justice at the hands of the Powers than at case to the

of Japan.

For ever since the Shantung

decision, the

best sentiment of France, Great Britain, Italy, nay, of the entire world, has unanimously condemned it and declared it to be illegal and immoral. Besides, the election of the next President of the United States is near. Who knows that some candidate may not be elected, who will help China right the wrong of Shantung? If the Republican party should win, there is every reason to believe that the United States will once more act the

part of the Good Samaritan and help us to get a revision of the Shantung decision. Let us, therefore, hold firm in our policy toward Japan. Let us teach Japan the lesson that she cannot violate the moral laws of the universe without punishment. Let us wait for the opportunity to sign the Peace Treaty with the reservation, and submit the Shan tung matter to the League of Nations. Unless Japan shows signs of repentance and of change of policy, let us hold on to the only

The Shantung Question and Obata Mr. Obata,

Minister to China, under the instructions of his home Government, it is reported, visited the Chinese Foreign Office in the latter part of January, and presented to Mr. Chen Lu, acting Foreign Minister, an official note saying that the Japanese Government, in accordance with the provisions of the Paris Peace Treaty, has succeeded to German rights in Shantung and that it is ready to open negotiations with the Chinese Government regarding their retrocession in conformity to the stipulations of the Sino Japanese Treaty of 1915. The document received adverse criticisms Japanese

from the bulk of the Chinese people.

The attitude of

the Govern

ment has not yet been definitely ascertained, but public opinion is so very much against any direct negotiation with the Japanese Govern ment that other means will have to be resorted to for the solution of

With the coming into force of the Peace Treaty, the former German rights in the leased territory and the railway have been completely transferred to our possession. The Governments are now taking the necessary steps to translate their often-declared determination into actual fact.” It is evident that the Japanese policy remains essentially unmodified. The un easiness of desire for the hegemony of Shantung is as manifest to day as it was ever before. We wish, therefore, to warn the ill-in formed against deluding themselves into believing that Japan is pur

that the Germans hate the Frenchmen bitterly. by This fact was shown the incident in the Berlin Hotel Adlon. The incident was reported as follows: It happened that, on March 8, in the Hotel Adlon, there was a member of the French Commission, Captain Klein, who was dining in the restaurant. While the guests were dining Prince Joachim Albrecht, one of the former Kaiser's cousins, suddenly Everybody requested the orchestra to play “Deutschland Uber Alles.” play; up, began stood while the orchestra to but the French captain re sitting. great uproar mained As a result a was caused and many Junkers and Pan-Germans present violently assaulted the captain. Great ex citement prevailed and the hotel proprietor was compelled to close the establishment. It is said that Prince Joachim's request to play the tune was a deliberate provocation on his part with the intention to cause this incident. The newspapers in Berlin expressed regret over the event at the Hotel Adlon. The conservative organs of Berlin pointed out that the Prince was responsible for giving the signal for the attack, which is termed by the Weltam-Montag the “Hohenzollern Victory of the Adlon.” The “Freiheit" alleges that for weeks an increasing effort has been mani fested in Nationalist circles in Berlin to revive the spirit of 1914 and provoke collisions with persons holding opposing views, especially rep resentatives of the entente. This incident has been recognized by many people both in Europe and in this country as having much diplomatic sequel and as being one of the distinct signs of the German attitude toward the French nation.

The New Policy of

the Italian

Premier

It is reported in Paris papers that a few days ago the Italian Premier, Francis Nitti, before he left for Rome, had had a long conference with During the conference, Mr. Alexander Millerand, the French Premier. Nitti explained his reasons for his new policy which consists of the re vision of the Peace Treaty and the reconstruction of Germany. He told the French Premier that he was acting in the true interests of France and Europe in general. Later on an authoritative statement published at represents Paris the Italian Premier as a veritable apostle of work. “Produce,” the Premier says, “and do not try to break Europe into any Germany, if she is to pay her debts, must be aided, more little pieces. chiefly by means of a loan. Germany is a great workingshop but needs capital.” * He denies that he plans to set up some rival body to the Reparations Commission, but he thinks that it is the duty of the Reparations Com mittee to consider the organization of the international loan, in which Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and even Turkey would participate. Mr. Nitti says that English ministers agree with him and French financiers have written to him commending his idea. 17

Four Reservations Adopted

XV

Vol.

A.

in the Senate of U. S.

The Treaty with Germany in the American Senate has been given careful deliberation for months and a decision on the ratification of the Treaty has been expected. It was not until a few days ago that the Senate, under a unanimous agreement limiting debate on reservations, adopted four reservations, thus leaving only two to be acted on before the final roll call on the resolution of ratification. Those still pending are the Article X and voting equality in the League Council and assembly.

According to the reports of American papers, Beilby Francis ston, C.B., has been appointed British Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Peking. It is said that Mr. Alston is the second son of Sir Francis Alston, K.C.M.G., formerly of the British Foreign Office. Mr. Alston entered the diplomatic service in 1890 and five years later was sent to Copenhagen. After this he served the British Government at Aires, Buenos and later as secretary to the British representatives at the sugar conferences at Brussels, and as councilor of His Majesty's Legation and later as Charge d'Affairs in Peking. Since he has been in China for many years, he must have been very friendly to our Peking Government, and his appointment will surely be welcomed.

Self-Determination

for Ireland

A few days ago the Parliamentary Labor Commission made a re port on the conditions in Ireland. The Commission thinks that the British Government should acknowledge the policy of self-determination for Ireland just as in the case of the self-governing dominions, but rec ommends that the constitution conferring self-government on Ireland should not be subject to revision by the Irish people until after an agreed number of years during which time they would have an opportunity to “return to a more normal state of mind.” There are two alternatives offered by the Commission, which were believed to be acceptable to the majority of the Irish people.

of dominion self-gov ernment is to be accorded, with provisions to protect minorities. As to the questions of defense and foreign relations, they are to be reserved to the Imperial Parliament. 2. The second alternative is that the form of self-government to be established should be decided by an Irish constituent assembly. This assembly is to represent the whole Irish people and elected by propor tional representation. This assembly will be charged with the duty of drafting a new constitution and making provision for protection of the minorities in Ireland. As to the questions of defense and foreign rela tions, they should be reserved to the Imperial Parliament. 1.

To foreigners in China the extraterritorial system presents

following disadvantages. In the first place, so long as it is maintained it remains practically impossible for the Chinese government to open up the entire country to trade, manufacturing, and residence by foreigner. barely the It has been found feasible to permit mis

the

sionaries to settle outside the treaty ports, and, in connection with their work, to engage in industry or trade to a very small extent, but with regard to all others it is but natural that the Chinese should be unwilling to permit them to establish resi plants away from the dences and trading or manufacturing Treaty Ports as long as they are so largely exempted from the operation of the local laws and the jurisdiction of the local courts. This, then, is one of the heavy prices which the foreign er pays in return for the extraterritoriality which he enjoys in China.

Several of the friendly Powers have already formally recog nized that this reform is desirable, and have explicitly promised that they will agree that this may be effected as soon as China herself can make the necessary reforms in her own system of courts and in the laws which they are to enforce. While it is not claimed that China has brought her laws and judicial organi zation to a state of perfection equal to that of the most advanced nations, yet she has made such progress as to warrant her in being permitted to rid herself of the extraterritorial rights now possessed by foreigners within her borders. Among other im provements effected the following may be enumerated: (1) China has adopted a constitution providing for a separation of governmental powers, assuring to the people their inviolable, ſundamental rights of life, liberty and property, and guaranteeing the complete independence and protection of judi cial officers and freedom from executive and legislative inter ference in the execution of their official duties; (2) China has prepared five codes (criminal, civil, commercial, civil procedure, and criminal procedure), some of them being already in provi sional force; (3) three grades of new courts have been establish ed (district, court of appeal, and a Supreme Court at Peking), and by their sides a system of procuratorates; (4) civil and publicity separated, criminal cases have been of trials provided for, rules of evidence reſormed, corporal punishments to coerce confessions abolished, and rules provided for the creation of a

face value that at present Chinese judges are required to be learned in the law, that they are exempt from executive or legis lative interference in the execution of their duties of office, and that the national constitution, now in force, secures to individ uals adequate protection in matters of life and property. If the writer at this point may inject a personal opinion it would be that though the abolition of the extraterritorial system is a highly desirable end from the standpoint of the foreigner as well as from that of the Chinese, it would not be well to attempt to do this until it is made certain, as a matter of actual fact, and not as one of paper regulation or declared intention, that there exists in China a fairly complete body of ascertainable law ad ministered by a system of courts which by reason of the learn ing, experience, probity and freedom from political or executive interference of their presiding judges commands the confidence of the Western Powers. It is the author's opinion that it is doubtful whether, without foreign aid, the Chinese will be able to create a judicial organization that will actually function so as to satisfy Western requirements.

burning question of the day among the official, diplomatic, and financial circles in Peking and Tokyo is the pending organiza tion of the new International Banking Consortium which was agreed upon in May, 1919, by the representative bankers of Japan, Great Britain, France, and the United States at the Peace Conference at Paris.

with the Chinese Government. While this “Five-Power Group” was wrangling and tangling about the conditions, the accept ance of which by China was deemed very necessary, the Chinese Government made, rather quietly, an independent loan of $16,000,000 with the Lower Austrian Discount Company of Vienna. This was made in defiance of the insistence of the Consortium upon a monopoly of future loans to China. Its effect was to make the “Five-Power Group” recede from own position.

in Peking, the Peace Conference was convened at Paris. Financial experts of the allied Powers, having been previ ously informed of the desire of the United States to form a new banking group for rendering efficient and healthy financial assistance to China, gathered together for discussion. In a meeting held in Paris on May 12, 1919, a draft was agreed upon by the financial representatives of the allied Powers, Great Britain, Japan, France,

States, for the formation of a new International Banking Consortium. The object, the advantages, and the limitations of the new Consortium are well defined in a statement given to newspaper cor respondents in Peking, on June 2d, by Dr. Paul S. Reinsch, and in a letter addressed by him to the Chinese Foreign Office, which was made public in this country on July 31, 1919. According to Dr. Reinsch, the new Consortium is an outcome of the efforts of friendly nations to find a sound basis for Chinese finance, which would assure abundant financial support to China and relieve her of the necessity of making promiscuous loans under the most unfavorable condi tions. It is organized in a spirit of helpfulness to China with no in tention of wresting from her new economic concessions, special

strict and honest application of the loans to the purposes for which they will be made, and in the improved methods of revenue and general administration of the country. Dr. Reinsch emphasizes the point that the proposed Consortium is for purely financial purposes. Although it intends to embrace all Government loans, whether made for administrative or industrial purposes (not including, of course, loans made to private individuals and companies for indus trial and commercial purposes), it does not constitute a monopoly of contracting of the furnishing of materials in case of an industrial loan.

foreign Powers have had in China. Divided as is the Chinese opinion, it is not the Chinese people who are obstructing the immediate formation of the New Inter national Banking Consortium. It is the Japanese Government which is the real stumbling block. In spite of the fact that Mr. Odagiri, the representative of the Japanese Group, agreed uncondi tionally to the provisions of the Consortium agreement at Paris, the Japanese Government has since notified the Governments of Great

churia from the scope of the Consortium, the Japanese Government could not be better suited in any other way. Such a decision is what has been hoped for. Besides representing a diplomatic victory in the eyes of the Tokyo Government, the acceptance by the triple Powers

of the exclusion would mean, as pointed out before, a most emphatic recognition of Mongolia and Manchuria as Japanese spheres of in terest—a recognition for which Japan has been struggling most as siduously. Now, on the other hand, if the other Powers would not agree to this demand—the United States having already expressed her strong objection, then the Consortium scheme would not mate

rialize, and in the absence of such a financial combination, Japan could continue her reckless lending to the Northern military party in China in her own way and on her own terms. It will be observed that Japan's sole desire is to further her own selfish interest and sin ister motives, and that no consideration whatever is given to the pro motion of the interests of China. The situation has at present reached a deadlock, and to break this deadlock is a burning question of the day among the official, diplomatic, and financial circles in Washington, London, Paris, Peking and Tokyo.

energy generated by water power had of our greatest natural resources It and we have only begun to reach its possibilities. mines and refines our ores, turns the wheels of industry, lights towns. cities and our and drives our street cars The power obtained from Nature saves many million tons of coal every year. At first the field of its utilization was limited by the But soon could be transported, distance electricity research and engineering skill pointed the way to larger and better electrical apparatus necessary for high voltage transmission. Then ingenious devices were invented to insure protection against lightning, short circuits, etc., which cause damage and interrupt the service. And now all over the country a network of wires begins to appear, carrying the magic power. The General Electric Company, with its many years' part in hydro-electric experience, has played a development. By successfully co-ordinating the inven tive genius of the company and its engineering and manufacturing abilities, it has accomplished some of the greatest achievements in the production and applica tion of electrical energy. The old mill wheel of yesterday has gone. Today the forces of immense volumes of water are harnessed and sent miles away to supply the needs of industry and business and the comforts of the home.

for 56 years the directing

force of the splendid institution he created, was, undoubtedly, more intimate with the Chinese tradesmen of the East than any other American citizen. He was a familiar figure in the Chinese section and from close association and knowledge of Chinese character and custom perceived their sterling worth and high integrity. **

He opened wide the credit gates of his business to them and many a flourishing business of today was among his earliest patrons.

It

gives us pleasure to testify that the great majority of Chinese merchants have proven worthy of his confidence. To day and for the future we hope to retain this close association and will exert every effort to give service and satisfaction.

C. R.

CRANE

United States Minister to the Republic of China

E di to r i a ls THE BROAD ROAD THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION So far we have dealt with the two greatest problems of China—the problem of the civil striſe. Now, as we draw toward the close of the academic year, we cannot conscientiously fulfill our duties as the leaders of our generation unless we touch an other most vital problem of China—the problem of foreign loans.

We cannot fail to realize the significance and also the perils of the foreign loans. We have the tragic example of Egypt be fore us—how

she failed to meet the foreign

indebtednesses and how she went under the control of the British. We can picture to ourselves the day when we shall have pawned all our national properties, when we shall stand bankrupt before the seat of reckoning, when we shall be sold into the bondage of slavery.

And so as patriots we cannot close our eyes to this vulnerable spot of our national defense, but we should exercise our vigilance and meet the problem with courage.

To study the problem, we must first understand the causes that have made our government borrow foreign loans so inces santly.

We do not hear of the State Department of the United States negotiating a loan from Europe or Japan, and yet we hear of foreign loans, and practically nothing but foreign loans, in our governmental finance. And why? There are only three ways of financing a government, and they are (1) Governmental enterprises, such as railways, (2) tax ation, such as customs, excise, etc., and (3) public borrowing, either domestic or foreign. Our governmental enterprises, though among the most profitable in the world, are yet not able to con tribute much toward the support of our government, because of the foreign investment which requires heavy interest payment, and also because of the corruption of the officials in charge. Our taxes are almost all mortgaged, with the exception of the land tax, as the securities for the foreign loans; and some of them are entirely under the control of the powers. Our customs are mortagaged as the security for the Boxer indemnity and other debts, and are under the control of the powers. The revenues therefrom have to go to pay the debts and we are not allowed to raise our tariff except at the unanimous consent of the powers. Our salt gabelle is again mortgaged as the security for the Re 5

organization Loan of 1913 and is also under the control of the powers. The revenues therefrom are to pay the indebtednesses arising from the Reorganization Loan and the subsequent loans that have been contracted under its security. Our surplus salt revenues have been the main feeder of our governmental treasury for the last few years and yet the surplus is not sufficient to keep

going. Our Likin, being the main support of provinces, largely the is held by the provinces and only a very small amount of it reaches Peking. The only tax left unmort gaged is our land tax. That produces about 60 million dollars a year, but that is far from being enough to support our govern ment, whose expenditure exceeds three hundred million dollars a year.

our government

Unable to get enough revenues from the governmental en and taxation, our government is compelled to resort to the third source of governmental finance and that is the public borrowing. If our government can raise domestic loans, as the United States did, such as the Liberty loans, there will be no trouble of our finance. But our government does not enjoy the confidence of our people, and few of our people will dare to en trust their money to the government. And so our government is driven, reluctantly and yet inevitably, to the last resort— foreign borrowing. And herein lies the deep-set reason why our has been the begger at the European markets so.

The causes known, let us now see the perils of such a prac tice. There is no doubt but that we lose disastrously in such loans. We have to pay heavy interests and discounts, and we have to pawn our mines, railways, and revenues. Besides, such loans have curtailed our sovereignty. We have already lost the control over our customs. We have already turned over to the powers the administration of our salt gabelle. We have already several foreign railways in our territory, which fix their own rates and work against our merchants. What is worse, such a practice is bound to lead us to bankruptcy and, consequently, the loss of our national independence. Our officials are so sel fish and short-sighted that they would not reinhabitate our finances, but they would borrow and borrow, not for any pro ductive purposes, but for administrative purposes—for the con sumption of the soldiers and the civil officers. If this state of our finance should remain unchecked, the inevitable consequence would be bankruptcy and the international control of our finance.

This day of national reckoning, it

seems, is bound to come. powers already changed The have their policy in China from They have international rivalry to international co-operation. already abandoned the idea of partition, but they have adopted the scheme of international control. The International Banking Consortium is already formed, which promises to monopolize our foreign loans and control our purse. Unless we take imme diate measure to check this reckless borrowing of our govern ment, the fate of Egypt will surely befall us.

Such being the perilous situation of our national finance, we, as the loyal citizens of our country, must put our heads to gether and devise some way to save our country. And the only way is to control our government. We must take over the rein government government of our and make it a of the people, by the people and for the people. We must drive away these con scienceless officials who would fatten on the blood of our people and who would sell our birthright for a pot of mess. We must

ALLIANCE WITH JAPAN

It is recently reported that when the Peking government proposed to cancel the secret military agreements, Japan moved, as a counter proposal, for a defensive and offensive alliance with us. The reason she gave was the recent understanding between the Soviets of Russia and the Soviets of Germany and the con sequent fear of their invasion into the Far East. Much as we are surprised over Japan's proposal, and this especially at a time of national unfriendliness, we nevertheless can readily understand the motives that have actuated Japan to take this step. Japan wants to control China and this is a part of her policy toward China. She has failed in the group five of the

spirit and in the exercise of authority and control in affairs political and economic. The Chinese, moreover, will be quick to make amends for the personal and business injury which they have done to Germans through compulsion of zealous rivals. Already on April 27, 1919, a presidential mandate was issued from Peking that the citizens of nations having no treaties with China, as newly created nations, will be denied the extra-territorial privileges foreigners have hitherto enjoyed, and will be placed under Chinese law. They in return will be granted residence, like the Chinese, away from the circumscribed area of the treaty-ports. It is within the possibility that the new German Government will in the new treaty to be made with China, fall in with this worthy desire

plain absurdity. Constitution and parliament are instruments government. of Previous to the modern age people were taught to obey the authority of the King and Emperor. Instead of im perial authority we have been taught to have reverence for the authority of the constitution and the parliament, but to-day the current of thought turns toward a radically different direction.

We are being educated by experience to do what actual political situation demands. Political proceses are too much in constant flux to be absolutely bound by rigid constitution and parliamen tary

action. In every country they are endeavoring to facil itate the process of constitutional amendment and to reform the constituents and organization of parliament. In China the political conditions are very adnormal. We have not a perma nent constitution and a good parliament. We did not refer to proper judicial authority for the settlement of constitutional dis pute. Neither the North nor the South can hope to subdue the other by armed force. Our neighboring country is taking ad vantage of our prolonged civil for securing dominance over us. People are crying for efficient government, social betterment, and individual happiness. In other words, practical political conditions are compelling us to make the best possible adjust ment. It is a question whether we should be deadlocked by futile disputes and lose our political independence or we should do the best we can with the actual political situation and carry out a constructive program for national survival and prosperity. Let us all be ready to choose the second alternative which I consider is the immediate political problem in China.

CHAPTER IN CHINESE AMERICAN RELATIONS

A HALF-FORGOTTEN

By Professor Kenneth S. Latourette, Denison University Few Chinese as they pass through the Pacific Northwest on their way to or from their steamer realize that Oregon, Wash ington, and most of Idaho are under the flag of the United States very largely because of early American relations with China. And yet this is the case, and the story of how it came to be is one of the most interesting chapters in the history of this country. When in 1783 the United States won from Great Britain the recognition of its independence its merchants found themselves either excluded from or greatly handicapped in some of the mar

is our sad purpose to record here the death of a well-beloved friend, Mr. Yun Huang Ho, which occurred in the Cornell Uni versity Infirmary on the 22nd of February. He had been sick for only a week from an attack of influenza, which developed into pneumonia. He is survived by a younger brother, now studying in Tsing Hua College.

Mr. Ho graduated from Tsing Hua in 1913 and from Cornell in 1917 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. It was his ambition to be come a teacher and scholar, for both of which he was eminently quali fied by his patient temperament and profound scholarly habits. He deplored that educational positions should have been so often held by people merely as stepping-stones to government positions in our coun

try, and it was his firm intention to devote his LIFE to the cause of education—particularly to the teaching of mathematics.

years after the discovery of X-rays was evident that only ine tensive research could unfold their real possibilities. Meanwhile, scientists the General Electric Company developed the process of making wrought tungsten. This proved ideal as the target in X-ray tubes and its use for this purpose soon became universal. Then further research resulted the development of an X-ray tube of radically new type—the Coolidge Tube-with both electrodes of wrought tungsten and containing the highest attainable vacuum. large high-vacuum pumps made the new tube But the complication uantities impossible. The answer to this problem was the Langmuir on densation Pump, utilizing mercury vapor in its operation and almost automatic. To meet the need for simple X-ray apparatus during the war-the G-E Laboratory developed the Self-Rectifying Coolidge Tube, which made pos sible portable outfits at the front.

CLEVELAND The outstanding event in the month of March was certainly the re ception given in honor of Honorable Julean Arnold, Commercial Attaché of the American Legation at Peking, in the form of a Sino-American banquet held in the evening of 15th at the good old “Gold Dragon.” That Mr. Arnold has rendered a great service to China and has con tributed much towards the bringing closer of the genuine friendship existing between the two great Republics, every student of China knows and hence needs no further enlightenment. Mr. Arnold, therefore, is en titled to the deep gratitude entertaining towards him and the high estima tion cherished for him among the hearts of the Chinese students both abroad and in fatherland. The Chinese Students' Club of Cleveland felt most happy, on the arrival of this distinguished guest, to be able to accord to him the due welcoming regards. The distinction of the Julean Arnold Reception Banquet, however, is further characterized by the presence of some personages of whom Cleveland will ever be proud. distinguished These citizens of Cleveland were Attorney John A. Cline, Howe, president of the Case School of Applied Science. Dr. Charles S. Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Meade and their son, Parker, Judge W. D. Meals, Rev. Dr. A. B. Meldrum of the Old Stone Church, Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Stewart, Attorney J. J. Sullivan, Dr. Charles F. Thwing, president of the Western Reserve University, and Mr. D. C. Wills, president of the Board of Directors, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. From the officers of the Chinese Merchants' Club of Cleveland we had Messrs. Y. S. Yee, H. C. Yee, Wong Sing, and H. C. Chan. Mr. T. W. Wong was toast master of the evening, introduced as such first of all by Mr. T. C. Shen, president of the club, after his few words of opening remarks. Mr. Paul 61

In spite of the goodly number of speeches the social program which was conducted by Miss Ang Lee seems to be much liked by those present. Dr. Y. R.

COLUMBUS the appointed messenger of the Alliance, arrived at February 2, 1920, and delivered Columbus on the thrilling message from president the of the Alliance. The message was indeed thrilling to the members of the Columbus Club who have been for years serving the Alliance loyally and faithfully, and yet found, the Alliance in such a bank rupt condition as Mr. Tan described. When the financial drive commences, the Columbus Club will be found active in the field.

Mr. N.

B. Tan,

A series of International Nights were arranged by the Cosmopolitan Club this year. China was asked to take the lead in the program. The club summoned her genius and presented a most successful Chinese night on February 13. Music, Chinese boxing, Chinese gymnastics, reading of Chinese literature, speech, fortune-telling and games formed the de lightful program. Mr. Julean Arnold, American Commercial Attaché in his tour over the States,

to China, did not because Columbus is an

overlook Columbus influential city, and the Columbus Chinese Students’ Club is an active club. The club honored Mr. Arnold with a banquet in “State Palace.” The assistant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and the student pastor of the University were also among the guests. Mr. Arnold's sin cere advice to the Chinese students has reeived much discussion.

The club has also made preparation for the coming of the Chinese Educational Commission. A committee consisting of Messrs. T. Y. Wen, C. T. Chiang, and S. C. Chu was appointed to take charge of the prep aration. Messrs. Y. T. Young and Y. C. Chu, both from Pittsburgh, were initiated into the club this semester. S.

evenings to the students of the locality for purposes of interviews. The students made it a point to go at least once to the Mission headquarters to pay their respects to these gentlemen and listened to them with pleasure on things Chinese both of educational and of non-educational interest, while the members of the Mission, likewise, were eager to hear some of the stories that the students had to tell about the new world. Aside from these private interviews the Harvard Chinese Students' Club and the Technology Chinese Students' Club gave a joint reception on March 5 in honor of the Mission. The hall was never so full. All distinguished were anxious to hear these visitors speak. After Mr. T. S. Wei's elaborate welcome speech, president of Har vard Students' Club, ex-Minister Yuan delivered his address. The latter's dignified and yet kindly presence betrayed the traits of a true Chinese gentleman. In his address he emphasized practical education—the cor relation of education to practical need of life—and the use of education as a means of bettering society and of getting a good government. Mr. P. C. Chen, president of Peking Teachers' College, spoke next, who insisted on the importance of all kinds of education—family educa tion, social education, as well as school education—and exhorted us all to be educators in some sense. Mr. P. C. Yang, president of Chengtu Teachers' College, Mr. C. L. Tang, president of Wuchang Teachers' College, and Mr. T. C. Kam, president of Canton Teachers' College, all narrated the interesting re markable development of their respective institutions. In his eloquent speech Mr. T. Sui, principal of Kansu First Middle School, called our attention to the strategic and economic importance from a national point of view of that outlying territory, Tsing Hai, so far underpopulated and never in any sense developcd. He concluded by these words: “If you have the country at heart, view her as a whole; do not fix your eyes on one section and lose sight of the other sections.” Mr. T. L. Liu, a member of the Provincial Legislature of Kiangsu, spoke in behalf of the three members of the Mission from his province. Instead of pleading the cause of education, as is the fashion of the day, he said: “I would choose to insist on the importance of the availability of educational funds, which is after all a necessary means to the very same Go to any walk of life as you will, business or engineering, just re member that the richer the community, the better it will be for education.

LEHIGH few months the Chinese students’ activities at Lehigh vigorous have been as usual. In one of our regular monthly meetings C. W. Pau, who recently arrived from China, gave us a very forcible talk on the recent student strike, in which he himself took an active part. On January 17, C. S. Yu reported on the Des Moines Convention which he attended during the Christmas holidays, and on February 29 C. F. Wong dwelt on the subject, “How can we help China in America.” In addition to the speeches by our members our noted American friends are occa sionally asked to address us. Of course music and “eats” are indispensable features in all of our gatherings. Special mention should be made about the creation of a Home Intellii gence Bureau during our last meeting. A committee was elected to report all home news of vital interest to the club to be discussed.

Ahem! now comes the last item on the program, which reads thus: “Refreshments (strictly Chinese).” This was made possible only by the superb skill in Chinese domestic science shown by the delicious dishes prepared by Mrs. B. K. Wong. They were so delicious that even the psychic stimulation is sufficient to cause an abundant salivary secretion. After the refreshments were ravenously consumed by some of us the evening ended in perfect satisfaction in the heart of everyone present.

OHIO NORTHERN The Chinese students in Ohio Northern University, Ada, Ohio, or ganized a club a few days ago. The officers elected are: Tsu H. Fang, president; Samuel C. Wong, secretary; Lih Y.

PITTSBURGH The Chinese Students' Club of Pittsburgh has been as active as before during the last month in spite of the departure of several capable mem bers from the club. The regular meeting in March was held on the 14th of the month at Westinghouse Club. We were glad to elect and initiate Mr. H. C. Wang, the general secretary of Nanyang Club in U. S. A., into our active mem bership. The launching of the Alliance financial drive was made to be meeting. the most important feature of this business This drive was really launched at several days ahead of the time when we received copies of the circulars and tags provided for this campaign by the Special Financial Drive Committee of the Alliance. The speeches delivered by our chairman, Molin Ho, and Messrs. C. C. Huang and G. Chow, the ap pointed spokesmen for this drive, were hardly finished when every mem ber turned in his or her contribution faster than it could be recorded. We reached our quota within only a few minutes, and it was about 50 per cent. over the top after twenty-four hours. Plans for soliciting more contributions from our business men here are now completed and the prospect is rather hopeful. On March 29th, Mr. C. S. Young of Publicity Committee was in vited to give a talk about “Shantung Question” at Aspinwall Presbyterian Church. Inspired by Mr. Young's impressive talk, a resolution was passed by the Men's Club of the Presbyterian Church in Aspinwall and for warded to Representative Porter, Chairman of Committee on Foreign Affairs in the House. This resolution is quoted here in part as stating: “We petition to you to maintain Hay's policy of “Open Door” in China which, next to Monroe Doctrine, is the vital foreign policy of the nation.” Evidently, this is the most effective way to fight for our cause.

Clothed in national costume and bedecked with colored silk, they formed the five stripes, while at the same time they sang the National Anthem. Then, quite unexpectedly and with the smartness of military movement, they changed the straight line into a formation of two deep, the Yellow and Black acted as guard in the rear, while the Red, Blue and White went through the chorus of the Marseillaise. Again, by an internal rearrange ment, the trio representing the Red, White and Blue, sang “O Columbia, The Gem of the Ocean. The audience, taken by surprise, applauded most enthusiastically.

As the book is so called—Peking Dust, we are most anxious to know about “Peking” and about “Dust.” We have already pointed out that in the eyes of the author, Peking is “great,” “gorgeous,” “beautiful” and “barbaric.” It will be a great injustice to Miss La Motte to think that she knows nothing more about the capital of China than what is indicated by the four adjectives above mentioned. She has as a matter of fact a “Peking shrewd knowledge of what it really not commercial city,” she writes on page 14, and not “a business center" either. “It traveling men not filled with drummers small fry that kind, you find Shanghai and lesser places. such the diplomatic and political center the Orient, and here are the people who are the top things, no matter how shady things. At least top the man the promote its interests.” As dust, Peking has concern who here plenty, and Miss La Motte has plenty judge too. one can from her writing, she seems hold the deep conviction that the people Peking all live dust.
