WAR CLOUDS IN THE ORIENT
;S the ink dry upon press dispatches fore
from civilized nations when news filters out oi t
Orient that China and Russia are at sword points.
It now reiSns to be seen if the suggestions of such
able statesmen as Ambassador Dawes, Richard Was
burn Child, Secretary Kellogg, and other master minds
will become effective, namely the outlawing war by the
three dominant powers of the world—the United States,
Great Britain and Japan. Will these powers, by, t
word to the prospective belligerents, be able to thwa
what might be the forerunner to another world conflict.
That Russia is prepared to wage war is shown m
“You Can’t Print That,” by George Seldes, war corres
pondent, and one of the two men who were allowed to
peep behind the curtain in Russia as early as 19Z4 and
see her well trained army of between two and three
million men, eager for a test of arms with some nation.
This army is described by Mr. Seldes as “the first in
ternational army, the only force in the world organized
to fight, not the fuedal lord or nation, but for a class ot
society and in every country where it can be sent expe
ditiously.”
While reviewing this well-equipped and wonder
fully trained fighting organization, Mr. Seldes was ac
companied by a staff colonel. “Devil take it,” said the
colonel, “I’d like to take a crack at somebody with this
new army . . . the men are just aching for action.”
It remains to be seen after her rebuke by the
Chinese Nationalists, when her red propagandists were
expelled from the country, Russia hopes in the present
instance to thrust her army into the chaos created
through Chinese national strife, and the present rail
road controversy, and emerge master of the Orient.
It is not likely Japan could stand aside with such a
threat at her throat, hence we have the prospect of a
tri-party affair rather than a mere test of strenght be
tween China and Russia.
In view of the acceptance by the United States and
Great Britain of the principle of dominance of the
Orient by Japan, it follows that the United States falls
heir to the burden of maintenance of the princple. In
the event of Russia, securing an understanding wdth
Japan, which appears unlikely referrng to dispatches,
through the latter’s sphere of influence would be ex
tended northward and into Manchuria, an entirely new
complexion would be given the entire embroglio, one
which would endanger relations between the United
Orient and subjugated the world we would all have to
the hands off policy with respect to China, and could
not permit of her territorial apportionment between
Russia and Japan.
It sounds altogether plausible, this abolition of war
by gentlemen’s agreements, but until those elements that
make for war; political ambitions, thirst for power,
greed and pride are neutralized and made inoccuous, it
holds good that the greatest safety lies in preparedness.
No, we are not quite ready for the millennium.
Just think ! If a Red Napoleon came out of the
Orient and subjugated the world we woul all have to
learn to play and sing jazz in Russia and Chinese.
. What we would like to see is a Russian army try
mg to get a forkful of Chinese noodles past their whisk
ers.
It looks as if beating the sword into a plowshear is
due to be performed on somebody’s head.
At least there is one virtue in the mosquito, no
bureau has been able to stand up to him in a knock
down and drag-out contest and he is still free.
No, there will be no Chinese-Russia war. The Bol
shies will have to take at least two years in debate to
decide who shall be the generals.
