Sweeping General Inquiry
By Foreign Powers Aimed
o , At Activities
' SHANGHAI, Aug. 13.Plans tliat
woro' set In motion in Juno by rep
resentatives of foreign powers in
China Included In their scope u
weeping general Inquiry, aimed
not only nt the age-old activitlei
of bandits everywhere in China,
but also at that factor so closely
allied to banditry, the -maintenance
by modern mandarins, all indepen
dent of external authority, of large
bodies of so-called troops.
lowest in the social scale in
. enmn, more despised than the
Jowly barber or actor, the soldier
through' the ages has held a de
graded place, and, to the people of
the nation, the terms "bandit,'
and "soldier" are. synonyms.- There
fore,' the solemn . enrollment a
troops .of several thousands Shan
tung , outlaws as a" final phase of
tho recent Llncheng kidnaping af
fair, after the , last contingent of
eight foreign captives were set free,
' hold slight significance either tor
Chinese: or foreigners in China. No
one at that time doubted that the
new-made; troops., could revert to
type overnight;- -
' Banditry is centuries old in China
and it Is only because it has de
veloped serious . changes in recent
years,, changes that directly involve
the foreigner, that the necessity
has arisen for foreign powers to
act. S
Perhaps no better authority could
be found upon the changing phases
of Chinese life in the past two de
cades than M. &llden, French consul-general
at Shanghai, who has
spent a Quarter of a century in
China, and has traveled into the
most remote corners of the coim
. try. , . .
Today's political situation in
China, says M. Wllden, Is worse
than it ever has been since' the
Boxer uprisings in 1800. He told
of his travels twenty-five years ago
in . Yunnan and southern Szechuen,
places as .far from the seaboard B3
San Francisco is from New York.
"In those days," said M. Wilderi,
"we met .bandits and robbers, of
course, but often we did not kno.r
this until afterwards'. Foreigners
then' Were regarded' as guests, un
desirable guests perhaps, but the
robbers looked ,upoh them in that
light and so the lives and property
of foreigners were ' sacred. ' 1
"I have spent most of my time
In western China, where are real
paradises for the traveler, where
he may find happy days pn the road
in the remote corners. On the
Tibetan border, or In southern Kan
bu and northern Szechuen among
the aborigines, or in western Yun
nan where all the queer racc3 of
the enrth seem to have gathered,
never did I encounter unpleasant
ness. Robbers I met many, many
time's, but in those days' the rob
bers were of the old type who felt
that the foreigner must be safe
guarded. Those were the days
when one's pistol always was for
gotten, in a box packed on the last
mule of the caravan; the days when
one's escort when asked why he
did not carry a gun, replied: 'As
long as we are going with you w?
are safe.'
"Times have changed, and I
Bomelimes wonder If we foreigners
have not some part of the respon
sibility. Proud as we are of our
clvillztalon, have we not been too
quick and too rendy to Impose It
upon people who can quite rightly
boast of their own?"
It is because of the change that
Consul-General Wilden speaks of
' that' foreign opinion all over China,
reflected in expressions of public
bodies and in cabled demands of
commercial organizations, holds
that foreign powers must now act
or foreign businoss in China must
cease.;
