LACK SENSE 0F LOYALTY The political situation in China at the present time is one of great con- fusion and distress which is hard for a foreigner to understand. i The Chinese people have many ad- ‘ mirable qualities, they are industrious ;frugal and peace-loving, and yet in :all the four thousand years of their l recorded history the nation has seldom l been at peace and only for brief per- i fnotwithstanding all these wars and {revolutions the peaceful, orderly life lof the people has gone on without ‘serious interruption. If it were not i for this fact the present state of con- ! fusion would seem more desperate ;than it really it. 1 The primary trouble with the (‘hin- :ese people is that they have no sense 1of nationality, they do not think in lterms of the whole. Every Japanese peasant is passionately loyal to the :empire and would gladly give his life 4 for the honor of the Emperor, not so ithe Chihese. they are almost wholly l lacking in this sense of national pride ,and loyalty, few of them know and lfewer care what goes on in Peking. “the important things are those which ,-.,_. .L..;- (nun linlu circle of in- iods have the eighteen provinces been united under a single ruler. and yet‘ China is a republic in name only. and nothing could be further from the truth than to suppose that the government is organized and adminis- tered by the people and for the peo- ple as in our own country. I doubt if there are many of the common people who know in whose hands the supreme authority is vested, who know under what sort of a govern- ment they are living, and what is more. few of them care so long as they are undisturbed in their ordin- ary occupations. I lthe important things are those w Inflect their own little circle of 1 terests. ‘mvince is Highest Political Authority Recognized. Gov- ernment at Peking is Bankrupt The family and the clan is the basis of Chinese society. if a man commits a crime he involves his whole family in the consequences and so the whole family is responsible for the individ- ual. Every family has its patriarch and every village its head man. and over every patriarchal group is a magistrate who in turn is subject to higher powers up to the governor of the province, who nominally, but generally only nominally, is subject to central authority. The province as a matter of fact, is the largest poli- tical unit which the common man rec- ognizes and he is very little concern- ‘ed in what goes on. outside its bound- ary. It is quite natural this should be so in a country so vast as China. where the means of communication have been so difficult. the natural barriers so formidable and racial and linguistic differences so marked. The province of Hunan in which we are at present living has always been a distinct unit in the empire and some years ago it declared its inde- pendence. It pays no taxes to Peâ€" king and it is ruled by General Chao- Heng‘Ti, who is both civil and mili- tary governor. he levies taxes and eitactions quite regardless of the mod- ern provincial assembly which makes admirable laws but is powerless to enforce them. he has relations of- fensive or defensive with neighbor- ing barons with whom he is waging war or with whom he is in alliance. Changsha, the capital is under mili- tary rule and its merchants have been compelled to contribute such large sums for military expenses that they are all on the Verge of bankruptcy, Notwithstanding all this the troops are seldom paid and are almost al- ways ready for mutiny. in fact at the present time there is a serious mut- iny in the central part of the prov- ince. THE HIGHLAND PARK PIES. That the people as a whole are peaceful and orderly is eVideneed by the fact that in Chinese cities and villages there has never been. unless in very recent times. such a thing as a municipal code of law, in fact the only Chinese code is that which treats of crime In the conduct of their or- dinary afiairs the people are govern- led by their immemorial tradition and {by their native sense of justice and ftair play. They allow every magisâ€" ltrate and official a moderate amount ;of squeeze and they are all as greedy 38.5 the daughters of the horseâ€"leech. ‘hut when their patienve I.\' finally ex. .hau5ted the rebel and that i~ the end of it The government at l‘ekinu i~ Mink rupt'and tottering to its fall, it Would l, not have lasted as long as it has Were 3' it not for the {net that it is the onl) A government “hlt‘h i~ ieeognized h} . thr foreign pout-ix and Illl’i-LlL'n “hit: 1 foreign loans can he negotiated Th. l real authority in the north hi divider I between ('haanso-lin in the wai lord of Manchurin. an ex lmndi‘h pm ‘ haps l ought to leuVe out the ex. “hi 1 ix‘ said to be hand and glove With [ht Japanese. and Wuâ€"l’eiâ€"t’u. a militar: ’ leader of the old school sail to h personally an honowt man but ~‘ur rounded h} u hungry and avarinou band of Silh'llllt‘.‘ “h“ grind the pen ple for their «Mn piotit.

This in brief is the political situa- tion in China at the preunt time There is a government At Canton which exercises jurisdiction over a limited district in the south Ind is under the dimtion o!

What the ouu'ome of the present chaos is to be no one can predict. The thing that is most urgently need- ed today is the disbunding of troops and foreign supervision of the col» leetion and expenditure of the reven- ues, extending to the other branches the control now exercised over the customs. the salt gabelle and the poet- al service. This would eflectually curb the greedy bandits who now keep the country in an uproar. No foreign intervention other than a fla- cal one is in the nature of thing: poa- sihle, but ‘since (‘hina is dependent upon foreign loans for the develop- ment of its national resources such a measure would he efl‘ectwe, As for the abolition of extraterri- toriality. which the Chinese delegates at Washington are demanding, it would probably compel the withdraw- ll of every {oreig business in China P.
