BRITAIN AND US. TO ENTER DISPUTE Between China and Japan Shanghai, July 26.--It is impos- sible longer to doubt that the grav- ast situation in Sino-Japanese re- lations and involving China's in- ternational position since the pres- antation of the famous twenty-one demands has arisen. From tend- encies and present indications it Is inevitable that the other im- portant powers, especially the Un- ited States and Great Britain, must participate in the settlement or else permit the Washington agreements defining and guaran- teeing China's territorial integrity to become a dead letter. Because, like the twenty-one demands per- fod, this situation is being pur- posely obscured hy diplomatic ly- ing, it is important that certain facts and elements be plainly re- vealed, Your correspondent lately visit- ed the entire region directly af- fected, observing conditions and obtaining information from all quarters. In the first place, Ja- pan has ahout 50,000 troops in China, so distributed that 15,000 are in Shantung province, 10,000 in the Peking-Tientsin region and 25,000 in Manchuria. At Mukden a conmrplete military staff head- quarters has heen established with- in two miles of the seat of tne Chinese Government in Manchuria, and similar conditions exist in Shantung and North China, Ovders from Tokio At all those points the Japanese military command is evidently en- tively independent of Japanese cons sular and diplomatic centrol, take ing orders only directly from the Tokio War Office, Japanese con- suls and diplomats privately admit that on several occasions they were not informed of important Japau- ese military activity having large. ly a political character until after action was taken and impossible to revoke. The fact that the Chinese Nationalist flag does not fly every- where throughout China is due to the action of the Japanese mili- tary, who forbid its display at Tsing-Tao and in Manchuria, pre- venting the unifying of the coun- try, It is impossible to doubt that if the Japanese troops were with- drawn or took a genuinely neutral attitude the entire country would recognize the Peking Government, for the Chinese population in Man- churia and other regions is as A -- Apex Electrophonic Phonograp 1 he Greatest Ad- vance Ever Maae In 1 he Science ot Musical Repro- duction An achievement that has brought music lovers face to face with perfected creation of tone--the soul of music--The Apex Electrophonic, "Prices range from to $385 Wilson & Lee 71 Simcoe St. North The Compo Company, Ltd, Lachine, P.

Following the bombing of the train resiting im the death of Mar shal Chamg Tso-Lin, which Chin ese and neutral foreigmers believe was perpetrated by Japanese mili- tary, only the finesse of the Muk- den Chinese officials averted a re- petition there of Sino-Japanese clashes similar to the Tsinanfu cident, followed by immediate Jas panese military occupation. Fol- lowing Chang Tso-Lin's death, Ja- panese pressure was obliquely ex- erted to prevent a pacifie rap- prochement of Manchuria with Na- tionalist China, which, however, did not prevent the mew Chinese regime at Mukden from entering into negotiations with Nanking which resulted in an agreement that was to have been announced on July 21. July 25 was set for raising the Nationalist flag in Man- churia. Union According to reliable advices re- ceived here, Japanese Consul Hay- ashi at Mukden visited General Chang Hsueh-Liang on July 21 and strongly warned him against uniting with the Nationalist Gov- ernment and said that in the event that Japan's advice was rejected Japan would take adequate steps to maintain the status quo in Man- churia. Thus menaced, the Muk- den Government felt forced to abandon its intention of announc- ing its allegiance to the Nakwug Government. From a Chinese source it was learned that, immediately after giving that warning, the Japanese military took control of the Chin- ese telegraphs at Mckden and that since then all news and even com- munications hetween the Mukden Government and the remainder of China are subject to Japanese cen- sorship, The Mukden Government therefore is compelled: to make its plight known by couriers, one of whom reached Tientsin on Monday and managed to communicate with Nanking. Further uncensored' news from Chinese sources at Mukden probably must await the arrival of more couriers, C. T. Wang, foreign minister of the Nationalist Government, went to Nanking on Monday night to lay the situation hefore the cen- tral executive committee, Couriers soon will probably be dispatched to ask the Mukden Government to hold the status quo pending de- velopments and to request it to send a full report of Japan's ac- tions there, with documentary evi- dence, if any exist, Similar Policy The situation recalls the time of the twenty-one demands, when Yuan Shih-Kai was forced to send special messengers with photosta- tic copies and certified transla- tions of Japan's demands to Presi dent Wilson and other foreign gov- ernments in order to offset Tokio's diplomatic denials, Tokio seems to be pursuing the same policy now, unless the Ja- panese Foreign Office is not per- mitted to know what the military branch of the government plans and executes, The facts regarding this crisis will speak for themselves if 'the world be permitted to learn them, although some time probably will elapse before the full meaning of these events is realized in foreign capitals, Japan's moves in Man- churia now overshadow with the Chinese all other pending treaty questions, for they realize that the spectre of China's dismemberment under foreign military aggression has heen revived, News from To- kio that all the Japanese troops now in China will remain here pending a settlement of the Sino- Japanese crisis shows that Cnina is menaced with force, This Is fully realized hy C. T. Wang and the Nationalist Government, who are uncertain. how to meet the situation, Two alternatives present them- selves--either to yield to Japan's intimidation or to follow Yuan Shih-Kai's policy in 1915 and stand by the present position until Japan delivers an untimatum with a time limit prior to declaring war and then yield to force under pro- test. Several members of the Nan- king Government said that they were fully convinced that the Ja- panese military party, which seems to control jts government, is de- termined to force war on China, or compel her to agree virtually tu cede Manchuria to Japan, Hopes For Sbpport Thus situated, China's only hope ington treaties and preserving China's territorial integrity, The same officials believe that Nan- king's policy now ought to be to procrastinate so as to permit the facts to become known throughout the world, In view of larger is- sues, the Chinese do not attach much importance to the protests of Italy, regarding treaty revision. A Nanking spokesman said: "We expected all the powers wanting to keep China in bonds to rally behind Japan's military ges- ture. Only the attitudes and ae- tions of America and Britain will count finally." Private reports state that Chig- ese anti-Japanese feeling is run- ning high in Manchuria, but is nee- essarily repressed, and the Chin- ese officials there are warning the people against anti-Japanese de~ monstrations. Japan's intention of using the military occupation of Shantung as a leverage for politi- cal questions is plainly shown in many ways, General Fukada, the commander at Tsinanfu, frankly told newspapermen last week that the Japanese would mot permit throuzh operation of the Tientsiu- Pukou Railway until Tsipanfu in- sident is settled to Japan's sat- isfaction.

While Japan's present policy n regard to Manchuria continues, the Chinese cannot resume the Peking- Mukden train service. These examples show certain kinds of Japanese pressure applied to the situation, Taking courage from recent events indicating Ja- pan's anti-Nationalist policy, some Northern war lords are attempting to come back. A hencliman of the notorious Marshal Chang Chung-Chang seized power at Che- foo tp provide, it is believed, a foothold for Chang's return to Shantung, which is now expetced from Dairen, Nationalist leaders who are now travelling to Nanking to attend the plenary session beginning on Aug- ust 1 are confronted with these problems and from their utter- ances seem to understand that the whole Nationalist movement is threatened externally and realize the gravity of the decisions they must make. Nanking's diplomacy meanwhile probably will he exert ed to stave off Japan's ultimatum until after the plenary session, Chinese officials believe that To- kio chose the time of the Ameri- can presidential campaign to re- sume an aggressive policy toward China, thinking that Washington is inhibited from active moves lead- ing to any serious foreign embhrog- lio, Washington, July 26.--The Un. ited States is about to withdraw part of its marines from China pre- paratory to discussion of new and more equitable treaties with the new Nationalist regime, Acting Secretary of Navy Theo- dore Robinson announced he had approved the Immediate with- drawal of 1,350 officers and men of the Marine Corps and 13 airplanes from the Tientsin area. - This will leave 2,615 officers and men in China. The returning marines will be brought hack to San Diego aboard the transport Hendeisuy, The exact sailing date will he de- termined by Admiral Bristol, com- mander in chief of the Asiatic fleet, Admiral Bristol recommend- ed the withdrawal, which was con- curred in by the State Department, These forces were sent to China more than a year ago dur- ing anti-foreign outbreaks in Nan- king and other Chinese centres, Conditions have hecome sufficiently stabilized to warrant a material reduction in the force.

J. BROWN JEWELER i| whatever sentimen THE reason it is desired to retain some troops for the presemt because of possible emergencies. As condi: tions become more orderly, addi- tional withdrawals probably will be made. This action coincides with steps being takem by the State Depart- ment, as reported by the United Press Monday, to revise long- standing unequal Chinese treaties in view of the strides toward paci- fication being made by the mew Nationalist regime. Although agitation for formal recognition of the new regime has developed in some quarters, it is pointed out here, questions affect- ing Chinese-American relations such as extra-territorial rights and the Chinese tariff system should be first adjusted. Formal recog- nition would follow rather than precede negotiations, it is suggest- Adjustment of the Chinese sit- uation is regarded as one of the most vital objectives of admrinis- tration policies at the moment, both for diplomatic and economie reasons, Diplomatically, the United States has always regarded the friendship of China as a highly im- portant element of its position in the Orient, as this would be a gov- erning factor in any difficulties in the Pacific. Economically, China represents a vast undeveloped market for manufactures, which make the good-will of the Chinese people an important economic asset to the United States. Tremendous expansion of mach- ine production in America re- quires new foreign consumprion outlets. Great Britain and Ger- many have similar need for new sales areas. Japan has adopted a policy of economic pcnetration which already has given Japanese capital an important place in Chin- ese industrial development, In such competition, good-will on the part of the Chinese will be a use- ful advantage, Nothing has caused so much hos- tility among the Chinese as the unequal treaties. The nation which takes the initiative in wiping them out will he the recipient of genu- ine gratitude. U3, LEGISLATORS INSPECT BOUNDARY Proposed International Park Region In Min. nesota Duluth, Minn, July 27.--A re- markable phase of the movement for closer international relations in the Ontario-Minnesota houdary county wil] be shown next month, when a committee of each house of congress will visit the region separately, There will he publie hearings on the proposal to estah- lish an international park com. prising the 14,500 square miles of the Rainy Lake watershed, devoted to scientific forestation, the press ervation of wild life, and recrea- tion throughout the most wonder- fulf lakeland of America.

The situation is being considered here hecause the Government is inter- ested in the improvement, gener- ally and also because of its interest in the Canadian National and the port of Montreal. President Beatty, of the Canadian Pacific, discussed the matter here on Monday night incidental to a social visit and when Sir Henry Thornton returms from the west the matter will be gone into further, The railways department engag- ed Frederick Palmer, port expert of Londop, to look over the situa- tion, and he returned to Lonagon after interviewing the different interests. To make a detailed re- port, however, the British expert has not yet been commissioned. For a while the matter is hanging fire. If there is reasomable pros- pect of the differept parties com- ing together, them a report as to the most desirable solution would be more in order than if it were to be only just one more of sey- eral suggested solutions. Reae- tion is being awaited. What complicates the situation are the five stations in different parts of the metropolis--two he- longing to the Canadian Pacifie, the big Windsor street depot and the Place Viger depot--and the Bonaventure depot, tunnel ter- minal depot and Moreau street de- pot to the Canadian National. The pumerous level crossings and the bigh cost of grade separations in a large city, the vested interests of the Tramways Company and of other considerations enter into the situation, C, N, R. Plans As is well-known the Canadian National plan is for an elaborate terminal whose centre would he around the present tunnel terminal at Dorchester street. It has had a report prepared along with plans and models strongly favoring this proposiiion, On the other hand the Canadian Pacific is opposed to the Canadian National plan entirely, An Awm- erican railway expert has prepar- ed a plan which it seems contem- plates hoth systems heing accom- modated in a8 much enlarged ter- minal at Windsor street, a scheme which it is urged will not only unite the transportation facilities of the city, but operate to the saving of millions of dollars by a common instead of separate ter- minals. Just what will be done ahout it no one is able to say because conflicting opinions have not been harmonized and the factors which enter into the situation are many. It is not even decided as yet if the British engineer will be asked to make a detailed examination and report after the "once over" he has given the situation, general interest, however, much is said in favor of the modern idea in all the large cities of having a large central terminal, affording joint accommodation for all the lines, with a specific definition of respective rights and with the pool- ing of their great financial re- sources to bring it about, ONTARIO AND FISH (St. John Telegraph-Journal) If, along with the appeal to the people to eat more fish, encourage- ment were given to the establish- ment of real fish stores in the cit- ies and towns in the interior of the country still greater results would be achieved.
