It knew the kind of outlaws to be dealt with and understood that a military campaign against them might result in civi: war and the slaughter of the captives. Twelve days after the raid on the Shanghai Peking express Dr. Schurman, the American minister, was threatening “drastic action.” He went to Tsao} Chuang and told the Chinese offi- cials assembled there to negotiate with the bandits to ‘end these de- lays and the confusion between var- ious departnients of the govern- men.” It was mora than three weeks later when Major Pinger and} his companions were released. Early n the affair the use of troops to| fire on the bandits at fong range had proved futile. Most of the lat- ter were ex-soldiers and were not to be intimidated in that way. This action of the government was no more than a gesture to prove its good faith. Only negotiation with promise of immunity from punish- ment and suitable compensation would assure the safety of the for- eigners detained and bring about their liberation. Some of the cap- tives escaped and others were freed on terms not divulged by them. The full story of this extraordinary epi- sode is yet to be told. As late as June 4 an internat- lonal commission, of which Brig. Gen. Connor was the head and J. Mathew Wainwright, formerly as- sistant secretary of war, was a member, traveled to Tsao Chuang to assist in the negotiations. Roy Anderson, an American of long ex- perience in Chinese political affairs, had offered his services two days after the attack on the train at Su- chow. Apparently all that the Amer- | icans could do was to persuade the bandits that the Peking government would play fair with them. It seems} to have been finally agreed that the | bandits would be enlisted in the army for the full terms of three| years, paid a bonus of $20 and re-| ceive a uniform. there were. 3,000 of 1 outlaws. A third of-| n no mood to trust the them were govern Thus it will gain a considerable addition to its army. It! that the bandits regarded | ted States as the | great e Pel ont,| governr promise. They had to place their de- pendence upon General Chen Tiao- yuan( representing the Military governor of Shantung, who was on the spot to enroll the scoundrels. - While they had treated their for- e'gn prisoners with as much hu- manity as they were capable of they had butchered great numbers of Chinese who fell into_ their hands, according to John . Powell, the American correspondent, who was one of the foreign captives. What guarantees for the protec- tion of foreigners can the Peking government offer for the future? It is a quest‘on of far greater dif- ficulty than the payment of a suit- able indemnity. It has been said by Thomas F. Mullard, a friend of the Chinese, that banditry is “one of China’s hereditary institutions.” In- ternal strife and lax administration of the law, the demands of politi- cal factions and exactions of offi- cials are the excuses for it. In number the bandits of China great- ly exceed its organized armies. Since the raid at Suchow the world has been hearing appalling stories of outrages by outlaws in most of the provinces. The guarantees of a government that has shown itself impotent to control its criminals are obviously of little value. The Washington conference at one of its plenary sessions adopted a resolution expressing the hope that the Chinese government would take “immediate and _ effective steps” to reduce its military forces and thus advance “the cause of its political unity and economic devel- opment.” If bandits can be reform- ed only by taking them into the army, its constant expansion is to be expected. A Chinese government to be stable must begin by absorb- ing the Huchuns and disbanding their forces, a process that would appear to call for a regular army | powerful in efficiency if not in numbers. LET GREAT BRITAIN ASK, SECRETARY HUGHES It is said to be the opinion in! London that America now has the best opportunity to offer sugges-| tions in the European crisis. If that is the opinion in London, the British government might act upon it. Last December Mr. Hughes of- fered a suggestion. He has never withdrawn it. Presumably he still believes in it. But no Allied Goy-) ernment has ever paid any atten- tion to it. Only the German Gov- ernment officially noticed it, and the German Government has adopt- ed it as its own program. But with his previous offer unnoticed by the} Allies, Mr. Hughes can hardly re-| peat it unless one of the Allies takes the trouble to ask him about it. The British Government made a mistake last December in ignoring Mr. Hughes’ offer. This may be the time to correct that mistake by asking Mr. Hughes whether the of- fer is still open. ONLY A MINNOW It begins to look as if the parti- san press had managed to hook not so much of a whale in the Leviathan issue. Rather the matter now ap- pears to be a minnow. Instead of the “million dollar joy ride” which certain democratic papers inveighed aga‘nst, it seems that the trial trip of Chairman Lasker and his guests will cost about $175,000. The act-; ual expenses of the guests will be about $11,000. The ship must take a trial trip in any case, and the net difference be- tween sending her out with all cab- ins empty and putting four or five hundred invited guests aboard will therefore be about $11,000—no| very great waste of government money, considering how governinent REpnPY is customarily wasted in this land. A lesson might well be drawn drawn from these few facts and the hullabaloo which which proceed-| edthem. It is this: If partisan pa- pers displayed a reasonable amount of tolerance, and gave men of the opposite political faith the benefit | of reasonable doubts, partisan pol-| itics might be less ibtter, more in- telligent and more efficient.
