THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. 0, RED RUSSIA, CHECKED IN ENGLAND, WI Wanted: An Asiatic Locarnio Through Which Just ; t NNING IN CHINA Treaties May Be Agreed to by All, Avoiding a New World War. (Editorial Correspondence of The Star.) THEODORE W. NOYE The Third Internationale w ims in effect, n state | that ! r some time has existed be- | et Rus: America, and ¢ especially Latin rescue N threatened ensla In Februar: . 1 said in The | Star, “The struggle of Asia and Africa toward equality -of treatment (by Europe) s given a sinister as-| pect in this crisis by Soviet Ru world-wide activities in its Ishm ltish role of sal existing governments and of Chris- tian civilization. Sovief Russia has in interest and sympathy abandoned Europe for Asia, but its destructive policies are, however, neither Asiatic nor European, but in their universal and” devilish destructiveness suggest an infernal origin. In its dual nature Mr. Hyde scems for the present to have expelled completely Dr. Jekyll Russian diplomaey inflames the mutual hatreds of European nations, stirs up domestic discontent all over the world and has been recently notably active tn China in its satanic labor of arraying non-Christian against Christian, Asia against Eu- rope and America, the yellow man against the white, It fosters class hatreds within the civilized nations and racial hatreds between nations. In words Soviet Russia puts the world to shame in boastful claims of superiority in democracy. In acts Red Russia outdoes the Czars in ag- gressive imperialism.” Red Russia’s Anti-British Drive. During 1926 Russia’s policy has - been pushed with success. In at- tacking the civilized nations singly it assaulted first Great Britain. It spent thousands of Russian money to cause and to sustain the general strike in Great Britain. Its aim has been to inflame class hatred in Great Britain, to the destruction of British commerce and to the point of ecivil war, threatening the stability of the Empire. The general strike collapsed. The coal strike, disastrously protracted, finally ended. The desired heavy losses to British trade and commerce have been inflicted even though Rus- sia has in the end failed to corrupt with bolshevik disloyalty British labor, and imperialistic s upon the world, America, to fight to and Mexico from ment. unive enemy of Soviet Success in China. If only partially successful in its domestic attack upon Great Britain, Russla may congratulate itself upon & greater measure of victory in its anti-British and anti-foreign cam- paign: in China. of 1926 it had been compelled to withdraw from Peking and China proper into Mongolia. In Canton and Bouth China Reds and anti-Reds ;:ra in impotency-producing dead- K. Today the Russian Mongolian army and Feng's Chinese army are ready at the right moment to move egainst North China and Peking, for a flank attack on Chang Tso-lin. The Cantonese Reds have complete oontrol of South China and are sweeping victoriously through Cen- tral China and the Yangtse Valley to Shanghal. In Hongkong, Canton end South China the war by boycott has lyzed or cut into British trade and commerce. Great Britain 1s now threatened by the boycott and by mob violence in Shanghal and the whole Yangtse Valley. Russia domi- nates China more and more in the military sense. The conditions are ripe for it to bring on war not only by boycott but by cannon between ©hina and Great Britain. Russia has mnnounced, it is reported, the organi- pation of a new Red army to back China against the attack or the at- tempted domination of the im- perialistic powers, to wit, all foreign nations except Russia itself. The old idea of the “Yellow Peril” conceived a China organized, dis- ciplined, armed, and led against Europe by Japan. In the new Yellow Peril Russia displaces Japan. Will there be a new war between campaign by At the beginning | h Russia and Japan for Asiatic leader- ship? Or will Japan in the end compete with Ri for leadership in a against rope or combine temporarily with ¥ such leadership with the thought of expelling Russia_from joint dictator- ship in the end? These are samples of the questions, born of fear, which an anxious world | asks itself. The Next World War. Ts there danger that the next world war will be between the vellow men and the white men? Since the be- ginning of the year the struggle between vellow and white men, be tween Europe on one side and Asia and Africa on the other, has quieted down in north Africa and in western sia, in Morocco, Egypt and Mosul, 1l threatens in China. hope has been that the dominating war lords of China might Kilkenny cat-like destroy one an- other until a unified central govern- men with power to control might be established with which America and Europe might deal on sympathetic lines of justice and fair play. But for every war lord who goes under another arises. Instead of dfs- banding and joining to productive labor the million of Chinese mer- cenary soldiers, the number has largely increased. The mercenary armies are better equipped, disci- plined and morePskillfully led. Making China Mlllwn(‘. It is conceded that the spirit of the Chinese is not warlike. All that the farming coolies, the bulk of the population, ask is to be let alone to wring a bare subsistence from the soil by the hardest of hard labor. But all existing conditions, intensi- fied during the last year, tend to make the Chinese militant. China is the’ battlefleld of under-the-surface war between Russia and Japan for supremacy in Asfa; between Great Britain and Japan for trade suprem- acy; between China and Great Britain (representing the concession holding powers) over unequal treaties, and alleged hurtful and humiliating discriminations; and be- tween Chinese war lords of north, central and south China for control and enjoyment of provincial and na- tional revenues. Even the expanding spirit of nationalism, student-born and Soviet fostered, is tainted with bolshevik hatred of the foreigner and tends to inflame the people to un- accustomed militancy. In their under-the-surface war Russia and, to a less degree, Japan have been arming and training steadily increasing thousands of Chinese soldiers. Within the year the number has vastly enlarged. As the result in part of this com- petition China is cursed today with nearly two millions of mercenary soldiers, each with only a gun and his body to sell or rent. The mil- lions of Chinese on the verge of star- vation, harried and robbed in their poverty by the soldier-bandits, sup- ply an unlimited number of recruits to whom, in spite of their traditional pacifism, the invitation to drill, to shoot and to loot as an easy means of sustaining life is more and more allur- ng. %)u not all the precedents teach that these armed millions will not always fight for hire against one another, but will combine in the end sufficiently to expel or merge into China all militant foreigners alike, in order to fight in the name of China for universal loot? 3 Does not history suggest that exist- ing conditions and tendencies if. not checked or radically changed will in time inevitably develop an Asiatic leader, a composite reincarnation of Diaz, of Napoleon and of Genghis Khan, who will unify China in the military sense by exterminating or subjugating the other war lords and by merging into a single force under despotic control the multitude of scat- tered mercenary bands now infesting the republic; and will then use this unified China not as a medium - of world peace on the lines of American suggestion, but as the weapon of world war, of Asia invading Europe, of the yellow man against the white? The diplomacy of the world's wisest minds should avert this disaster. Our Puzzling Dilemma. On first thought it might seem that the remarkable success of South China’s campaign for the subjugation of central China with the hreat of a like fate for north China points to the unified China and the responsible dominating central government which the United States has been seeking in order to put into effect its sympa- thetic and helpful policy of “Fair Play for China,” to which it is thoroughly | with the | ssia in | and sincerely committed. But actual conditions as they are developing do not justify confplete optimism. It Canton conquers Shanghal the 1 may be required to recognize a hal near-bolshevik gov- ent as well as a Mukden-Peking rnment. But who is confident t Canton will subdue Peking and | Mukden or permanently control Shan- | ai? The reported massing of | hang Tso-lin troops to co-operate Wu Pel-fu's reorganized army in an attack upon Hankow suggests that the solution of our problem of wise treaty, making may suffer addi- tiona! delay,to await the result of a great battle between south and north China, at or near Hankow. There is apparent unity of demand by Canton and Shanghal and Peking f Ision of the unequal treaties in their competitive rivalry in hostility to the foreigner. But when put to the test even this apparent unity dls- {appears. When Chang Tso-lin" con- trolled from Mukden to Shanghai Can- | ton and Shanghai were opposed to the | Peking tariff-revision conference of na- |tlons on the ground that immediate increase of tariff taxes on imports would not benefit China, but would enrich the war-chest and strengthen the military power of Chang Tso-lin, whom they hated and wished to de- stroy. And on the same line of thought it may be noted that just the other day, when Great Britain sug- gested that the contemplated tariff increases be put into effect immedi- ately, Canton protested vigorously be- cause Shanghal was not vet in its possession, and the additional revenue from the Increased tariff on imports would not be enjoyed by it, but would Increase the milltary strength of the enemies of (‘anton Let all the world hope and pray for the day when at another Lo- carno Europe and China (with Amer- ica sympathetic and co-operating) can get together to establish genuine world peace, or at least to eliminate a threatening cause of world war on the basis of the existence of stable, actually controlling government or governments in China and through the framing of just treaties by nego- tiators conferring on equal terms.
