Sun with great sadness in his The Seattle Star SEATTLE, WASH., FR IDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1921. This is Dr. Sun Yat-sen, elected president of China by the South China government, having its headquarters in Canton. -| Below is the presidential signature. | demands made in 1915 against Chi } na. What do you think? “The 21 demands are just ax much | alive today as they were when they | | were first presented,” said Dr. Sun./ because the parliament, sitting in Canton instead of in Peking, has held a new election was Japan's choice anyhow. “And there,” Dr. Sun interpolated, The Canton preaident looks| “Again I mean the Japanese mill.| “i# where the United States has hurt cht Li iy? | tariste. | “They have not dropped the 21/ demands and tho they were balked them—-thanks to publicity and in ternational opinion—those same de-| mands are still at the bottom of| their policy with regard to China. Having but partially succeeded in the first instance, they hope to ar rive at the same end by some other road.” “PEKING PRESIDENT JAPAN'S CHOICE” “Meantime,” I asked, “what is Peking’s policy?” “Peking.” said the president, ris ing and closing the window—for a tropical rain had begun to fall in enormous drops—“Peking \s power | leas.

I inquired. “Buch a move is eeriously under way,” he stated, “But it cannot auc ceed. The people of China are united against it-—-North and South.

Dr. Sun gave one of his nad smiles, "Yon," he admitted, “it is pretty general, not only in the Yangtee river valley, but {n the North and tn the South. The military chiefs wish to hold on to thir jobs, ‘That fact ts responsible for the large soldiery in China today—th well over a million under arm: should #a Pe every Tuchun retaining the maxt-| mum he can keep under his banner to maintain his own position.” READY FOR PEACE WITH PEKING “What chance is there of unifying | China,” I said, shifting to another topte. “We are ready to make peace with Peking any time,” Dr, Sun said with | greater emphasie than he had yet shown, “Our ome condition tn that the 21 demands made on us by Japan should be repudiated by Chi That Peking will not do and ace done. It is what we, down here, are fighting for. “T believe we could bring about the unification of China in a short while if the foreign powers would recog: nize us as the legal government. It in just the prestige we need to bring the other provinces over to us.” “And after that, what?’ “The reconstruction of China on a local, self government basin,” he re- | United States, only with far more! power delegated to political subdi visions or localities, I favor reten-| jonly such power as can not, by the) | very nature of things [by municipalities, townships, coun | tiem and states, National defense, | foreign relations and things like that, for instance.” | WELCOMES FOREIGN | COOPERATION | A while ago you #poke of China} | wettin ong all right but for inter | ference from the outside,” I #aid.| “Can China pull herself up out of the | hole without foreign assistance?” | | "China welcomes foreign co-opera- tion,” Dr. Sun replied, “China needs | th proper sort of aid from without That is not what I meant by being left alone. We need rafiways, high | ways, public improvements of many | varieties and money munt be had to| carry on this work, I favor the con-| sortium providing the money i# not) | loaned to the militariste—and I think | \L have made myself plain as to | why, Money loaned to Peking now| would hurt, not help, China.”* | Dr. Sun, as I was leaving, @x pressed the belief that the powers controlling Peking would try to strike him through neighboring | provinces making war on Canton | but—again the sad smile—he hoped he w id be able to face the #ltua- tion @ with the prestige of for. | eign recognition, win out for China jand Constitutionaliam.

His enemies would like nothing better than to be rid of him His entire life, however, has been | Mved under similar conditions and he| is now as tranquil and unafraid baby in its mother’s arms.
