Is China to be unified through Canton, after failure to se- cure unity through Peking? Is China unified under bolshevik influence to be the real yellow peril? Will the new China be a menace or a benefit to the world? When I wrote about Chinese condi- tions at the end of 1925 and the beginning of 1926 tne factors in the military equation were Chang Tso-lin, ex-bandit, cruel and despotic war- lord of Manchuria; Feng Yu-hsiang, the so-called Christian general, de- riving strength from Mongolia and Russia, the betrayer of Wu Peifu; and Wu Peifu, the ablest of the war lords and the most unfortunate, in every the victim of disloyalty. The Cantonese Reds and Whites were in deadlock and a negligible factor. The Yangtse lower provinces sup- posed to be part of territory under Wu's control had expelled Chang Tsolin's soldiers and driven them back to Manchurla, where Chang nearly suffered defeat and destruction through the revolt of one of his gen- erals. Overcoming finally Chang combined with the forces of Wu, advancing from the south, ainst Feng and his bolshevik asso- tes who then held Peking. This combination proved too strong for Feng, who, after some fighting, evacuated Peking, withdrew his army to Mongolia and prudently retired to Moscow, where, according to report, he has been initiated into the inner councils of bolshevism. Chang and Wu held Peking and northern and central China, these allies distrusting and fearing each other and being held together only by the greater common dread of Soviet Russia. Canton’s Fine Drive for Control. Today, with several turns of the kaleldoscope, a new situation is pre- sented. The Cantonese Reds, neg- ligible before, are now the dominating factor. Bolshevism, checked in North China by Chang and Wu, and by strategic - retreat withdrawing its forces to Kalgan, has made a new attack from the south. The Red Chinese army, disciplined, equipped and guided by Russians, has swept victoriously through South China to Central China and the Yangtse and has beaten Wu, captured Hankow and pushed Sun Chuan-fang, once war lord of the five lower Yangtse prov- inces, almost back to Shanghai. The shrewd military move of Can- ton against Hankow broke the north- ern combination of Chang and Wu and sent the latter hurrying back to Hankow, where, attacked without his natural allies and deserted by several treacherous subordinate generals, he was thoroughly beaten and driven to the northward with only a fragment of his army remaining faithful to " Phe Soviet plotters, withdrawing in North China, where they had to meet Wu and Chang combined, are now attacking their opponents singly in detail. They have beaten Wu alone at Hankow; they are advancing upon and beating Sun Chuan-fang and if he is destroyed Chang's turn will come. Rise of Chang Kai-Shek. The conspicuous Chinese war_lord is neither Chang Tsolin nor Feng nor Wu, but Chang Kai-shek, the leader of the Cantonese Reds, young- est of the war , & man still in his thirties, disciple ol Sun Yat Sen, whose organizing and military ability I with Russian aid, developed the army which has pushed victoriously to i the very gates of Shanghai. Sun Chuan-fang, who, with his small but well disciplined army, was the main factor in driving Chang Tso- lin from Shanghai and the Yangtse provinces, made a fine record in the fighting and maneuvering prior to the Cantonese raid, and, at the expense of Wu, brought within his nominal jurisdiction the five lower Yangtse | ¥ provinces and became a promising new candidate for membership in the Chinese triumvirate to succeed that of Chang and Wu and Feng, and also for the final dictavorship of China, when the triumvirate of China’s mili- tary rulers is reduced to unity. But Sun's ambitions and hopes may be quickly blasted. He held back when ‘Wu was attacked, leaving him to be destroyed unaided; and now the Red Cantonese army, having mastered Wu singly, is advancing confidently upon Sun, catching him without allies and with discovered disloyal treachery among his forces. Sun’s fate as a dominant war lord is thus in the bal- this revolt, . |ance, with the chances against him. w ik NOT R IBL AN '""5 rxceg( those mxnnd by HARKY x (/efllfi 00.00 tace 1 ..( o B kievs. Incorporateds I saning D, ., standing in n)i' name.

Chang Tso-lin, intrenched in Man- churia, is holding his own. Today the consplcuous war lords are: Chang Kai-shek, backed by Red Rus: Chang Tso-lin, backed by Japan, and Sun Chuan-fang, feebly representing Central China through diminishing dominance of Shanghal and the lower Yangtse. Soviet Inflamed Spirit of Nationalism. The situation in China threatens the whole world. Bolshevism, merging itself in the Soviet-inflamed spirit of rationalism which sweeps through China, is dominating everywhere. Russia is succeeding in fanning the flame of hatred of the foreigner until the whole nation is ablaze. Wu's general played the Russian game when he seized British ships in the Yangtse and killed British sallors who tried to rescue them. Great Britaln played into the Russian's hands when, in retallation for the killing of Brit- izh sailors, it slaughtered Chinese by the hundreds. Actual war between Great Britain and militant Chinese war lords, com- peting in claims of superlative anti- forelgn nationalism, will be brought about if Russia can manage it. Japan has held back philosophically while Great Britain, engaged in trade war with China and suffering boycott, was losing trade to her, but if Great Britain is expelled from China s0 also probably will be Japan. Anti- foreignism directed by Russia will make no mice discriminations. It worse came to worst and antl- THE EVENI NG STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1921, CHINA’S SHIFT OF POWER l NORTH TO SOUTH The World’s Anxious Query: Cau Canton Bring Unity and Strong Government to China Though Peking Failed? foreign rage swept out all others the United States would probably go too. Our many past acts and constant protestations of friendship _would make small appeal to either Russian or Chinese forelgner-haters. The Cantonese government is de- manding immediate surrender by the | powers of extraterritoriality privileges and limitations upon the tariff on im- ports, while at the same time mobs, abetted rather than hindered by the soldiers, are driving out forefgners with violence from Chinese cities and towns, destroying treaty concessions and privileges, and demonstra the utter helplessness of foreigners in China if extraterritoriality doned, or its protection taken frmn them by force. There is no proof, yet, that the Cantonese government is better able under new treatles to carry out fts agreements with the foreign powers in respect to Shanghai and Tientsin than the government at Peking was able in its agreements to speak for Shanghai and Canton. America’s Puzzling Dilemma. This situation confronts our goy- ernment with a puzzling dilemma. If China is to continue to be the fight- ing ground of war lords, e vith his ever-shifting army of me! soldiers; If a responsible, powerful central government is still to be lack- ing, and If the trend is obviously toward a clash between the yellow and white races, America is driven, for the protection of the life and property of its nationals in Asia, to co-operate with a chastened Britain, chastened by the lessons of the boy- cott and by the brulsing ults of Chinese “nationalism.” When Amer- ican or British lives are threatened in some emergency in the Orient, the United States and Great Britain are, instinctively and promptly, natural allles in protection or rescue of their nationals. . But if there is any real pros- pect of a China unified politically even under bolshevik-influenced ntonese government, and that government has the power and the purpose to con@el the mobs and the war lords and e bands & armed mercenaries that imaset and inate China today, Amendsa will eagerly co-operate with that guvernrent, ask- ing no special discriminatory conces- slons, privileges and powers, and in hearty sympathy with China's strug. gle for unity under tte inspiration of the spirit of nationalism will exchange with that government and will fully carry out piedges of justice and amity. uch action will be i» accordance with America’s traditional cy of friendly and relatively unselfish %elpfulness to- ward China, which has been repeated- y and consistently m evidence of record. The demand of the Cantonese gov- ernment that Ameri and Europe cancel at once the unequal treaties, surrender the protection of extrater- ritorlality and abandon ceatrol direct or indirect of the tariff rates on im- ports, is under present conditions paradoxical and sardonic; for there has never been a time when foreigners =0 unmistakably needed the protec- tion of extraterritoriality privileges, or when anti-foreign mob violence was so feebly controlled by the nom- inal central government. And in re- spect to the increase of tariff duties on imports, the Cantonese government in the same breath inconsistently de- mands the increased tariff duties and protests against the British offer to put them into immediate operation, Cantor. confesses that it wants no increased revenue from tariff duties until it can handle the increased rev- enue jtself. It wants no money to g0 to Shanghai to furnish the sinews of war to its enemies. Consequently it demands and protests against the same thing in the same breath. As Secretary Kellogg aptly sug- gests, our government, determined to abrogate an existing unequal treaty, must negotiate a substitute for it with a government able to perform the duties and meet the obligations of the new treaty, and this agree- ment must then be ratifed by the Senate, just as the objectionable treaty which it displaces was thus ratified. But if China remalns divided over government can as readily make two new treaties of justice and peace as one and will thus deal with both Peking and Canton. The Capital of Unified China. Who will control the future unified China’s government? This is the vital uestion which puzzles America and %u-ope. Peking’s pretension to be the dominating seat of government of uni- fled China has been negatived. Shan- ghai and Nanking are not now in the active competition.
