Show PATTERNED AFTER. PANAMA. Uore is a little editorial Item, which we find iu an Eastern contemporary, which ia of peculiar interest to Americans Ameri-cans ;is showing that their oxnmplo has yielded fruit where that yield might have been least expected: Mongolia, under Rucaian Incitement and encouragement, has declared Us 8ecosalon from China, and Russia has Instantly recognized and suaraptccd its Independent and Is aondlng an army to prevent tho nialntenanco of Chinese authority there. Tho moral of which Is that the territorial Integrity and Independent Inde-pendent sovereignty of China must bo observed. Ho who reads that item will be irresistibly irre-sistibly reminded of tho incident which evidently has given pattern for that work. Precisely what was done by the United Statos with respect to Panama, could hardly bo -more concisely slated than the story of Russinn action, as given in thnt littlo item. If wo should substitute Panama for Mongolia, the United Statos for Russia, and ( olombia for China, wo would havo a sufficiently exact duplication of tho two ovents, and tho statement. Ihoroof ia enough to make startling reading for the generation genera-tion that ia to come. |
