In this record Mr. White finds ground for charging that Smith in those daye did the behest of Tammany and that Tam- meny acted aiways in the interests of the saloon, the gambler and the pros- titute. After giving to the public the record of the Smith votes on various bills dealing with the saloon. the gam- bler and the prostitute, Mr. White has seen fit to issue a further statement withdrawing his charges against Gov. Smith's legislative record as to bills governing gambling and prostitution He does not wish, he save, to question the motives of the Democratic presi- dential nominee so far as gambling and | prostitution are concerned.

So we follow him to Australia and China and Africa and otherwhere, Taken all in all, the genfus of the man appears to have been that of taking over dead-and- gone enterprises, abandoned miues, broken-down beginnings, weakened hopes and ambitions as to the secrets of the inner earth. The oxygen for expiring entitles he seemed to be. And it was in exactly that spirit that he put him- self behind the thousands of distracted Americans marooned in Europe at the outbreak of the World War. He sent them home. How? Just any way get them home? Not at all. He or- ganized the enterprise as he would have organized any other business project, by virtue of such Mr. just as he did with the Belgian Relief | | and the Far East Rellef later on. These are all chapters in a single story. These are all interpretations of a man of business, fronting business activiti with confidence, and energy, and su cess.

And so the story goes on. Just the story of one man's life up to now. The kind of story whose facts, s0 plainly and impartially set out, pro- vide readers with the urge to prophesy.

It has been the traditional policy of the United States throughout the his- tory of the open Orient to show our most friendly attitude toward China. It was the United States, under the Secretaryship of John Hay, that first declared for the “open ‘door,” by which all nations should be upon the same footing in matters of commerce in China. It was the United States which, under President Roosevelt, first proposed to return to China (for educational purposes) the Boxer rebellion indem. nity, which has been a potent influ |ence in compelling other nations to| follow suit. No other nation has shown | the disinterestedness in friendship for China as has this one. American au- thority was what prevented the part tion of China on more than one occa- | sion. ook % | And now comes American leadership iin first recognizing the new govern- ment and felicitating the Nationalists upon their victory over the reaction- j aries. Japan has made a record for attempt- ing to seize advantages in China when | she took over the German holdings and | then made intolerable demands for them Japan is China’s next-door ! neighbor, and is thy most powerful na- tion in the Orient. Besides, Japan claims special interests in China, er at least in Manchuria and Mongolia, which are parts of Greater China. She will not easily surrender those claims. Vet she hesitates to declare their exist- ence. “The practice of politics in the { East may be defined by one word—dis- stmulation.” Only last Saturday Press dispatch from Tokio declared that Chang Hsueh-Liang, governor of Man- churia, personally visited Premier T naka of Japan to hand him letter soliciting Japan's friendly assistance. A parallel with that act would be found {f Mayor Thompson of Chicago should go to London to petition King Oeorfi of Great Britain to support him driving out of his city Federal agents enforcing laws of the central Govern- ment: or if Senator Heflin were to ap- peal to the Pope against Tammany, ig- noring the Government at Washington, “which still lives. Why should Japan have any dealings with the governor of a Chinese province In international re- lations? Word comes that Premier Tanaka re- | plied to the governor that Japan has no territorlal ambitions as to Manchuria, but that she is concerned in fearing the influence of the Bolsheviki there Yet the victorious Nationalists gained their victories only after they had ut- terly discountenanced Russian Bolshe- vistie Influence and dismissed Borodin and all other Russian agents within th* domain of the Kuomintang-~the organized Nationalistic control of af fairs. There will be no stronger of sition to Bolshevism possible than t put up by the Chinese Nationalists. and the professed fear of Bolshevistic disturbance in Manchuria as an excuse for Japanese interference is. in pure Disraellan terms, according to knowing diplomats, “dissimulation.” o ow o It will be borne in mind that the present premier of Japan. Tanaka, has always been a pronounced advocate of “intervention” in China. He became premier on the eve of g hes severely criticizing Baron Shidehara's so-called “friendly polley” toward China, and demanding that the Japanese intervene to protect thelr Interests.

In April, 1927, Baron Tanaka, who was a prominent member of the Ohoshu Cla radical nationalistic or Jingolstic organisation and formerly a general in the army and viee chief of the general s and minister of war in cabinets, made a speech which was published in the Japan Advertiser.
