NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 1, 1915. [
The anticipated action of President'1
i uan of China in bringing about a 1
return of the monarchical form of gov- i
eminent with himself as the headl i
seems tair to be completely offset by |
the action of the allies in xetoing the :
proposlion on the score that such pro- I
cedure is likely to prove detrimental i
to their interests. Already the masses I
of tne nation are stirring with the i
leaven of discontent over the royal in- i
conations of their present ruler and I
sedition is everywhere rife and ready i
tor reveit. From all accounts,’ a con- '
sumation of luan's project will result
in a return of the fearful conditions ob- i
mining at the time of the unseating
of the Manchu dynasty when the l
nation was torn with civil strife
of the most disastrous character. A
possible return of those conditions is
viewed by the entente allies as detri
mental to their interests in that they
may ultimately be compelled to allow
Japan to intervene for the protection
of her lately acquired rights. Owing to [
the conditions obtaining at present,
this means nothing less than giving
Japan an unrestricted freedom in
dealing with the situation as none of
the allied powers are in a position to
divert their attention from the cata
clysmic drama now being enacted in
the west. Japan has a perfect right
to demand that she be allowed to enter
the country in the event of revolution,
not only because of the fact that China
is peculiarly within her sphere of in- j
fluence but also because that she is the j 1
possessor of far greater' interests in 1
the republic than any other nation. '
lull* they can in no wise discredit her ■
ciaims in this direction, the entente
nations cannot, at this some time, view
the granting of a free hand to Japan a
in dealing with the Chinese as other s
than permitting her to gain a control c
of the country that, once obtained, can- '
not lie Bhaken without a vast deal of f
difficulty. They recognize plainly enough
that Japan will overlook no opportun
ity to make her occupation of the Chi- g
nese territory as solid and permanent I
as possible and will if possible, assume
a dictatorship that will ultimately be
come tantamount to ownership. This
,s the primary reason for the prompt
attempt to suppress the monarchical
j inclinations of l uan. The allied powers
| cure not a jot if China strangle herself
wnn revolution or any other form of
uisiurounee so long as there is no one
who will he apt to interfere and gain
a foothold winch may ultimately tend
to superior control. China muy go
iiang nerself and the action would bo
| viewed with equanimity by any or all
el tne western powers as long as no
cue else entered into tne affair but the
;piospcct that'some nation may gain a
aonu hold on the republic as a result is
another matter entirely. China is a
uig, wild country lined with an inex
haustible store of riches and under ef
iidlest and most powerful nations of
would probably develop into oue of the
richest aud mots powerful nations of
tne earth. Especially would this be
me case if Japan should be the nation
u> gain the dominant hand in the
country. The situation of Japan is
such that she, more man any other
iuation, could exercise a control th&t
would bring about the development of
me best that China holds and in so
doing would bring to herself a bound
less wealth and power, in addition she
could .step by step, assume a full and
complete control of the nulion which
in time would become so flrmly cement
ed thut it would become actual own
ership. This cannot be viewed by the
I western nations as other than a most
j alarming possibility. Japan, with the
; wealth and potential strength of China
i uemnd her, would become a most for
Imidable menace to their own future
[safety and well being. Japan is one of
line most aggressive nations under the
sun today; is fairly bubbling over with
a must superabundant energy and a
uesire for "a place in the sun." Al
ready she is among the most powerful
of all the powerful nations and is not
only looked upon with respect by the
powerful nations and is not ony looked
by the balnce of the world
, at is also dreaded in no
small degree as a most alarming pos
sibility for future world discord. This
ilien is the crux of the matter; Japan
nust be kept out of China if possible
t
intil the other powers can exercise a
nore complete supervision of her ac
tons in the event that necessity com
tels her intervention into the internal
iffairs of that nation. In other words, ,
jefore she can be allowedf to step into 1
Lhe country the other powers must be
free to act as policemen in order that
ihe may not steal for herself all the
,'ast potentialities which that country (
lolds and ultimately direct such ac- 5
juirements against themselves. Japan (
,vith the strength ami.wealth of China (
behind her could make herself the
naster of the world.
The other nations recognize this fact (
jlainly enough and recognize also (
.hat she would not hesitate to include
world domination in her scheme of na- j
tional greatness if circumstances were
propitious. Knowing these things they j
cannot but view with alarm any ac
ion which may tend to place her in
control of the Chinese nation. To per
mit her to gain control of the count
less hordes of China’s people and to
utlimately mould them into a tremend- {
ous engine of destruction backed by the \
enormous wealth of their country, i j
spells ultimate destruction to the races |
of Christendom and so cannot be con- ]
ceded without a struggle. (
