is forced to cr.osk the river on the an

Tbts situation is due to the fact that
the Wasco county court has taken no

This ta the condition found by the
membefs of the American mission Which

agreement on future policy in China. The
mission was able to deal with Japanese
liberalism and sq was able to put the
relatione between the two nations on a
much sounder basis than they nave been

the Circumstances ' which led tip to it It
id a story of which Americans may well
be - proud, for they have saved China
from partition and put her ofi. the road
to real progress and freedom.
When the Spanish war gave Us the
Philippines, the statesmen in Washing
ton sat up and took notice of what was
happening in the OHehL The &oef re
bellion drew our troops in for the relief
ftf Peking and we suddenly found our
selves in the midst of the great quarrel
among the imperial hatidns which
wanted to proceed Immediately to divide
up the country. Only the decided action
of Secretary of State John fetay averted
the scramble. ; , - .
HAT SOCTBIWS OBlEBVSP
He enunciated the "May doctrine, Which
carried the Ideas of the Monroe doctrine
to the Orient This doctrine demands
the territorial integrity and political in
dependence of China and the "oped
door"' that ie full equality- for trade.
Upheld by the British, who Wanted
American cooperation ta the Orient, it
WS accepted also by Japan and France,
and Germany and Russia had t give re
luetaat. assent to It. The American
state department whether Democralia
or Republican, has since made it the
bails of our policy in the Eait '
rittST crlALLtTfCtB AT cA&
Getting signatures to the doctrine was
one thing, however: seeing to its appli
cation Was quite another as the Amer
ican government BSs found on rnord
than one occasion since. Csarist Rus
sia Was the first to challenge it Hav
ing Bullied and bribed the Peking gov
ernment into eoheeeftions for railroads
and port right in Manchuria, the Rus
sians took - advantage of the feoxef
troubles if years ago ' to Invade the
Whole province and to remain. Protests
from Washington, London and Tokio
Were useless; they stayed until they
Were driven Out by - the Japanese 15
years ago. -: ' '
Japan still gave assurance that she
held to the Hay doctrine, but she pointed
out that nucsift Was a menace and if she
retired the forces of the cxar would
probably find their way back into Man
ehUria. , lt by step the Whole, of South
Manchuria was broug-nt under the, con
trol of Tokio. and financiers and traders
Of America and other nation found they
could get no concessions dr trade there,
Another step was taken by the Japaft
militarists toward Peking when the
Tokio government vetoed the plana of
American- and ether capitalists who
wanted to build a railroad to connect
the line northeast of the eanitai -mth
the Russian imes. This road would nave
paralleled- the Japanese lines in Man
churia and Tokio held it would be a
military - menace. She , declared that
inner Mongolia, through whieh the rail
road Would Pass, Was AeceasaHr ta the
defense bf the western frontier of Man
Churta, Which IA turn was necessary to
tested this fresh aggression. but thai was
alt and Japan took over the plan to
build the railread and so clinched her
claim to inner Mongeiia--for a time.

These clrCUmstknees show With what
tenacity : the Japanese militarists pur
sued, their alms, and throw light on the
Stubborn diplomat 1J confllet With Amer'
lea which has now led to the practical
abandonment of the. Japanese claim to
oontrol of th6 approaches to Peking.
How China refused td sign; the treaty
which gave to Japan the German rights
to Shantung and now the Chinese Since
have backed up .their position with a
boycott Which has brought grave trou
bles to Japanese industry,, are factors
that are well known. There jwere other
things, however, underneath the surface
of diplomacy which were hot" so well
known. For more than a yeaf American
diplomacy and finance, Working with
the moderate Hark government Of Japan,
Was at grips with the Japanese mili
tarists over Manchuria and Inner Mon
golia, While the situation in - China
threatened at any moment to blow up
and Bring a dangerous cflsiiJ
It was in Parte.' While the mikado's
envoys were winning their apparent vic
tory on Shan tuna-, that the - Japanese
found themselves facing- the! issue pre
sented by the bankers consortium. : This
plan of cooperation by the Various na
tions interested in China Was almost
wholly the work of American statesmen
and financiers Its design was to put
ah end t-e. the constant scramble for con
cessions and political and territorial ad-
Vantages wtucn were gaineo - tnrougn
loans to corrupt officials. The United
Suites had ho desire to grab Chinese
territory sr to do anything i but legiti
mate financiering- and trading-; but it
found Itself constantly faced with the
monopolies and "spheres of: mfluenee"
which the other powers had Obtained by
one means or another. :
, The consortium, which was designed
to put everybody on an equal tooting,
provides that all loans to China and all
grants of rights to exploit the country
shall be divided among the banking
groups of the nations Who are members'
and other members who may be admit
ted." Its most important provision, how
ever, i that no concessions snail, be be
gotiated which "seek Ho impair the po
litical control Of cnina or to lessen the
sovereign rights Of, the Republic" ; '

'Against this plan the Japanese mili
tarists fought With ail their power. They
tried to keep the envoys at paria from
signing- it but Premier Hara, knowing
the western power, were standing, to
gether behind it, gave the? Orders td
sign. All the militarists were able to
do was to have their envoys file a reser
vation that Japanese rights in Man

Arid now Japan has again signed the
consortium-wrthout the reservation en
Manchuria and Mongolia-and this great
plan of Americans for the safeguarding
and upbuilding of China will be put
into "effect --V'-TrfiC'r.p'i.'''--::-:--From
knowledge ef what went on in
the final negotiations I am able to say
that Jail Japanese militarism saved from
its great plans in Northern China was
what the American representatives de
Clded Was fair. The strategists of Tokio
took their final stand on two points i
1. That the consortium eftdUld riot be
Used for the promotion of any plan
which" would endanger the strategical
Situation of Korea.
1 -That the railroad line la Man
churia captured from the Russians rep
resented an established Japanese prop
erty and that they should have the right
to control it and to construct the neces
sary feeders, - v7'-H.'-:;;v-' .- i
Bbth polntl were conceded. Thi Amer.
Ickhs reedgnised the necessity of the
Japanese for expansion to take cafe of
their 1 Browing population, and of fcafe
guards for their exposed position in
Korea. Tney were wining to guarantee
that the western powers should not uae
the power given under the Consortium
to drive strategic railroad lines toward
the .frontier Of th latter country.
So far as the Manehurlan railroad Was
eoneerned. that repf etented & problem
which Was found to concern other na
tions as welt Britain and France, ha V
backed enterprises in the past which
they Would not want to surrender into
the general pool. American capital has
gone Into Some big improvements which
the Investors .would not want to gtve up.
It was decided that these Interests
Should pot be affected by the consor
tium and Japan kept the road under
that rule, .
In the matter of the scheme for the
failroad through-the inner Mongolia to
connect - the lines northeast of Peking
With the Russian lines, however, the
Americani . were firm. The Japanese
strategists made a strong bid td keep
this -nncpsKlnti fh.v held that k. Par
allel line to their Manchurian road would
be a strategic danger. Mr. Lamont was
unmoved and in the end the militarists
gave in and the line Will be constructed
under the ttOnsortlum.
It Was a Vital Victory for the Amerl-
cart position. Had the Tokio imperial
ists gained this point they, -would
have been in position to dominate the
Chinese capital front the hdfth. AS it
Is, tney. are how .barred from any
further creeping in that direction with
out running afoul of the Western powd
ers, r
BOtfCOTT A TEftfttfiLE WEAPON
Several ' grekt factors contributed to
bring the militarists to the point where
they Would let Premier Hara make this
arrangement With the Americans. They
might thus be grouped :
i. The . Chinese boycott, r which baJ
almost prostrated Japanese industry,
t. ;Tha - fetpoked . rnllltary- position In
China add Siberia, eouplfed with the
kgitatlon-dt home against these costly
adventures.
3. British distrust and the conse
quent - - almost complete - Isolation of
Japan,
Bismarck, in making hie ealeulatiohl
for Prussian might always feared the
"imponderables,' - those Currents . of
hunian t opinion and power which so
dfteh set at naught the best .laid plans
etatesmen.
The Prussian statesmen Of Tokio
have been brought hard tip against
the imponderables in the unexpected
resistance, which -the Chinese have
shown to the absorption of . the
cred province of Shantung. China had
seemed so helpless, so unmilltary, that
they expected . no real resistance to
their scheme to seieo tno southern, ap
preaches to Peking as a complement
to their hold on the 'northern ap
proaches throUgtt Manchuria.
But the Chinese boycott has proved
a. terrible weapon which they have
found no means to Combat Starting
at first among the students and other
moderns who are , trying to awaken
China from Its long sleep. It has taken
hold On practically the whole people.
Japan "tried first to meet it with
threats " and pressure on the Peking
government, It only grew,
- Mow Japan is almost begging China
to enter into negotiations for an agree
ment Which will permit her to get out
of Shantung without too-amen sacrifice
Of her dignity and interests, China, re
fuses to negotiate. The reason is that
ho Chinese statesman flares . to do so.
rAnyonO euspeeted of trying to make
friends With Japan finds mrneir bor .
cotted, mobbed Or eved b&mbed. . Sol
diers and police Will hot guard him from
the people. Some patriotic ministers who
have felt the danger of the present posi
tion and have tried to find a way out,
have had to leave Peking- suddenly and
hide themselves away.
Meanwhile, in Japanwhich is suffer
ing greatly from the unemployment and
the financial panic due to the severance
of the large trade with China the de
mand fdr retirement from . Shantung
grows constantly and feeds the feeling
against the imperialists whd are respon
sible for the adventure. ' -pfti
toes position ir srafcntA
No less troublesome is the military
position in Siberia, HOW the supppeed
Wise melt of Japan Could nave allowed
themselves to get into such a predica
ment IS a mystery. With their limited
resources they hace assumed responsi
bilities Which Would strain even Amer
ica. : -m
At first Japad Went Into Siberia with
the United" States and other powers to
save the Country from the anarchy of
Bolshevism. Premier Hara and the
foreign office pursued a policy tof
friendship and cooperation ; but the mil
itary . authorities, often snubbing Jie
supposed chief of state, carried on ag
gfessioA based on the ' idea that they
could build up an independent Asiatic
government Which Would be friendly.
JPirst they got the British and Frenoh
to withdraw, then they caused so much
friction that the American troops were
brought eut TTrtti freed of restraint,
they selied thfi coast from Vladivostok
to Kikelaeivslt and the coal and mineral
deposits near the -coast. '
-Doubtless their plana Contemplated
only the holding of this coastline and
enough interior country to safeguard it
But they have failed to Set Up a friendly
Siberian government Practically the
Whole- &f the country is uniting under

Kikelaievelt and north of Vladivostok
have been the cause of great meetings

WHT BRITISH ABE SUSPICIONS
- Amfd . these storm conditions, when
friendship was vitat the Japanese
found themselves , practically isolated
among the great powers.. Under: ordi
nary conditions they would have been
ahl to count n the support ofi their
ally . Great Britain, but in the-dlplo-.
AU1 amPaign with America they
found British influence on the S Other
sidfc They made t more than one so
pear to London to Uphold themv and
London did suggest Some compromises
which would have left them in a some
what more favorable position; but
when the test came tne British re
fused to align themselves against - the
Americans. j
This condition also "was ' due td the
selfish and ambitious policy of the im
perialists,' At the critical saint in the
war, Whert tthe -Germans Were pressing
the British hardest the Tokio- impe
rialists made their demands for Shan
tung, and also made their 81 demands
on ,s china, both of which struck at
British interests as well as those of
America and France Worse than that
me ; -A'oaio - n-ussiane became cohvmced
that Germany would win the war. and
set out to make an alliance with the
iTussians at Potsdam ana the Court
cabal at Petrogrdd. - ;
" In this time the British Ih theV Xlast
were amased to find themselves con
fronting a persistent- and powerful
anu-iiritisn propaganda in the organs
of publicity controlled by Ihe Japanese

which dld them infinite harm. I from
wnicn tney have not yet recovered.
Much of their : trouble In India today
is due to this agitation f catered by

It Is worth the telling,' however, that
an element of real friendship for-America
played a bis part Id the Settlement
The Japanese Liberals kriow they owe
the opening up of Japan and much of
its modern development to the in-
fluence of this country Shd tney believe
their bast interests .will be served by
Working in harmony with Washington.
This spirit was encouraged in every way
by. .the American ! financial and diplo
matic atrents and the foundation was
laid fdr better relations bd alt lines.
These Jabahese Liberals also take the
view that the upbuilding Of a great and
vigorous Cnina is best for Japari. i They
feel that the American policy Of friendly
counsel and aid will be much better
than the policy of division, exploitation
and repression Which has brought their
neighbor to Such a dangerous State of

It is the intention of the blsr financiers
Who are behind the consortium to enter
on a Widespread development of China's
resources. The foundation win be laid
in the building of railroads and reads

the Waterways with the inland arteries
and so provide an outlet to the sea for
