CHINA CONSIDERED | AS UNITED NATION Southern Government Will Be Disregarded at Coming Conference. China is China—whether there Is| oue or two governments in the vast territory of that country—when it comes to the consideration of prob- lems of the Pacific, and as such it will T dealt with at the coming Wash-| ington conference on the limitation of | armaments and problems of the far cast, is the belief prevailing here. Economic problems, questions of trade, the “open-door” policy, spheres of influence, eté., which may be dis- cussed at the coming conference, must be considered with reference to the | entire country. it is believed. { The State Department, of course, is making no statements at this time re- #arding the Chinese situation in con- nection with the coming conference. Peking Government Recognized. The facts of the matter, however, are that there exist today in China two governments—oiie, the northern, Peking, government, and the other, e southern, or Canton, government. e northern government aione has been recognized by this country and ihe other powers who will assembi liere for the conference. It is th sorthern government that has beel rmally invited to send its delegates to the conference. The position taken by the repre- sentatives of the southern Chinese zovernment is that it will make no | «ffort to send here delegates unless it} is_invited to do so. Moreover, the southern government, its representa- tives say, will not be bound by what the Washington conference decides unless it is represented at the con- ference and at the conference agrees to the settlements that may be made. Chinese Problems Important. While it may be easily understood that the Chinese problems—which are | among the most important, if not thel most important, of the far eastern | questions to be considered—could be Kandled more readily and smoothly if there were but one Chinese govern- ment at the conference, representing the entire country. nevertheless, the opinion prevails that what the con- f-fring powers may determine about ihe economic problems relating to China will prove effective. For in- stance and just as an illustration, should the decision be reached to re- turn to Chinese influence entirely the province of Shantung, the Japanese withdrawing completely, it would make comparatively littie difference | whether the southern government of | China chose to differ with such a set- tlement of this problem. The opinion growing here is decidedly hopeful | with regard to the settlement of { many of the far eastern problems, those of China along with the rest. Might Send Dual Delegation. It will be remembered that at the peace conference in Paris, the north- ! ern and southern governments of China got together and sent what amounted to a combined delegation. It has been suggested that possibly some similar arrangement might be made at the coming Washington conference. | This arrangement, of course, would have to be made by the Chinese them- selves, as the southern Chinese gov- ernment is not recognized by the other powers participating in the con- ference. Incidentally, it may be mentioned { that at the Paris conference it was the delegates representing south! China who held out against the terms of the treaty and prevented the sign- ing of that treaty by China's repre- sentatives. South China Representated Here. The south China government has its agents in Washington now—and has had them here for some time. They are laying stress upon the fact that their government covers a very large part of China. They insist that it covers more than half of the coun- try; that it is the progressive and democratic element of the nation. . They insist south China owes no al- legiance to the Peking government. Among the leaders of the southern government are Dr. Wu Ting-fang, twice Chinese minister to the United States; Dr. Sun Yat Sen, father of the Chinese republic, who reaided in this country for a decade before he and others launched the plan for a re- publican- China a number of years ago. i Centroils Six Provineces. The south China government con- trols six of the richest and most im- portant provinces of China, and, it is aid, has the sympathy of three other provinces. The population of these provinces is in excess of 200,000,000, and the area of the country governed in the south is more than a million square miles. The representatives of the south- ern government here are taking the position that if half of China | be ignored—so far as the atten e of delegates at the conference is con- cerned — the decision of far eastern questions in which China is involved will be little more than a farce. Thal southern government is insistent that it be recognized. The south China government, it is declared, is more firm in i opposi- tion to Japanese aggressions in China than is the northern. —_—— WILL HEAR PARDON PLEA.

OTTAWA, September 3.—"The secret of the success of the disarmameni conference rests, in my opinion, in a large degree with the United * said Premier Meigen, address- ing a vast audience at the Toronto exhibition. Referring to the coming important Washington gathering, he added: “Earnestly will every subject of the British empire hope, and very earnest- 1y will every citizen of Canada hope, that the influence of that great repub- lc at this time will, in concert with the other nations, and particularly Britain, insure the success of this great and momentous enterprise, and in that way save something of treas-! ure for this and future generations out of the wreckage of the past decade.” Sought Discussion by AlL The premier-told his audience of the stand he had taken at the imperial conference at London. Touching on the naval defense and Anglo-Japanese pact issues, he said: “1 sought to im- press, on behalf of this country, not that the friendly relations with Japan should be broken off, but that the problem sought to be taken care of by the instrument of the Japanese treaty should rather be tabled for discussion before all the nations chiefly concerned in their solution. The other nations chiefly concerned, besides Great Britain and Japan, un- doubtedly were the United States and China. What was sought was not to cast away the hand of Japan, but to| seek, by the method of open confer- ence, to broaden the basis of under- standing and seek to arrive at what might be described as a pacific ac- cord. where responsibility would be assumed and approval gained on the part of all the great powers con- cerned. Preferred Preliminary Meeting. The premier referred to what he termed “the wise and statesmanlike message from President Harding calling together all the great powe for disarmament.”” “The Washinzton conference,” he added, “could best he advanced by a preliminary confer- ence on purely Pacific matters attend- ed by the nations principally con- cerned. 1 have expressed arnd stiil hold the opinion that much c<ould be gained if this meeting takes place, if that becomes immossible it should be the concerted and deter- mined will of all nations and all their representatives at the disarmament conference, whoever they may - be, that the omission of the preliminary conference shall not be allowed to imperil the success of the greater event. The secret of the success of the disarmament conference rests, in my opinion, in very large degree with the United States.” Canada expects Premier Meighen to be on the job at Washington on No- vember 11. The Montreal Star throws him a hint to so arrange the date for the coming dominion general election that it will not in any way interfere with his important assignment at the United States capital. “The premier,” says the Star, “must not forget the pregnant date of No- ember 11 next, when the disarmament conference meets in_ Washington. There is no nation in the world more deeply and intimately concerned in the success of that conference than Canada. It is for us not merely a question of saving money on arma- ments. 1t is a decision whether we may not be the battlefleld for the most devastating and _civilization- slaying war in human histor; Fear Result of Competition. “It is far more important that Can- ada should be there than that even the Australian governments should be represented, for the towering peril which will menace us if the threat- ened fratricidal competitin in naval armaments between the British em- pire and the United States is not; averted by a fair and mutually reas- suring agreement will be much more imminent than any ‘vellow peril’ which can menace the Australian islands if things take a bad turn in the far east.” Would Ald England. “Thus, it is.very important for Mr. Meighen to so fix his dates that there will be an undistracted Canadian premier who can go to Washingten on that occasion, and command the ear of the British delegation. British statesmanship always means well to- ward us ir meeting American shrewd- ness, but, specially, so much at stake Americans better, will be fair neither to ourselves nor to the empire if we leave the Britton alone to bargain with Uncle Sam.” AN IS LANNING TR OF DELERATES| Problem of Securing Steame Accommodations for 180 Proves Perplexing.

It hopes to carry the entire party on the Shinyo Maru sailing from Yokohama October 13, arriving at Honolulu, Oc- tober 22 and at San Francisco October 29. So far, places have been pro- vided for eighty, although the pros- pects are that the party eventually will number 180.

The disarmament conference is the principal international tople of dis- cussion in Japanese newspapers. In [addition to the press association serv- ices every newspaper of importance in the empire will be represented. ‘The Japan Advertiser says: “The tendency of legislators to bawl catchwords through the megaphone of the press and subside to a jmeek silence after the roar has warmed the hearts of the home-town voters, degrades politics. We hope another senator will raise the ques- tion that they will stick by their guns until the reasons of both sides ai fairly stated.” Should Urge Publielty. “The first steps toward showing that Japan’s position is just and equi- table is to urge publicity in the con- :ference,” says the Osaka Malnichi. 1t is time for the world to emerge from secret diplomacy, especially since domestic and foreign action is impossible, unless supported by pub- lic opinion.
