Show whiteman must eventually leave orient but current Is doomed danger of another war expected to change program by HAROLD KINGSLEY ine released Relea leased aed by western newspaper union once upon a time there was a stubborn little japanese boy who wanted to make an impression on a little chinese girl he offered her presents but they were refused he even whipped her which was ungentlemanly but her spirit remained unbroken finally the little jap boy discovered the little chinese girl had stronger love for a little white boy whose father might have been french or british and whose father was american so the jap boy decided the only way to win his maidens heart was to get rid of competition chase the white boy back to his own block such in storybook language is the situation in china today it popped into headlines a few weeks ago when japan threw a barricade around the british concession at but the very nature of that move revealed that tokyo as was merely looking for an excuse make mountain of molehill japan demanded surrender of four chinese charged with murdering a native official sympathetic to the jap cause the british refused clef claiming mine insufficient evidence when jap protests were met with offers of arbitration or mediation tokyo replied w with ith demands de m ands which made B n mountain of a molehill and enlarged the incident into an argument in involving britaina Brit ains entire far E eastern ste rn policy the japs demanded mand ed that london give no ala aid to gen chiang kai shek give up chinese dollars held by a bank in the british concession and operate cooperate co opera te loyally with north chinas cainas new japanese govern government ment therefore was merely part of a deliberate campaign to embarrass britain and force her into concessions at ata a time when she was busy shooing off hitler and mussolini on the european front why this goes back to the storybook tale of the jap boy the chinese girl and the handsome young white lad who incidentally had a pair of dirty hands bands it goes back exactly years to 1839 when britain waged its infamous opium war precipitated when chinese mandarins protested against british import of opium from china from this victory came the 1842 treaty giving britain the highly coveted island of hongtong Hong kong at the same K EY concessions OR 0 TREATY PORTS CUSTOMS STATIONS ETC X

enjoy special I 1 rights by grant of the chinese government shaded area shows territory nominally controlled by japan and where such concessions are handicapping japans new order program time china opened shanghai canton amoy and as treaty ports for world traders trend changed in 1926 thus began the new era in china through subsequent years the white mans i i exploitation grew until 1926 when chiang kal kai shek came to power and began demanding that dentals be denied the unusual privileges which had made them practically overlords of china but achl ang changed his bis tune in 1934 when japans new imperialism forced him to begin seeking help of americans and europeans that search has continued in the two years since japan invaded neiping Pei ping flattened shanghai and crushed bankow driven ever westward by the mighty tokyo war machine the chinese government has not collapsed as the victor planned ed but has gained new strength fr from om the support of western democracies today though thousands of square quare miles rest under jap domination china is paradoxically more united than when the war start edl no nation Is blameless in china all ali have exploited this ancient land to its utmost so japan need have fewer compunctions about the job she must do this is no license to wage war and bomb innocents but w with ith her madden maddening ink self righteous ness she feels obliged to wipe out the white man in china the reason is clear so long as he remains just that long ions will the chinese have faith in japans inability to capture their nation conflict with new order banks in british concessions shelter chinese silver which belonged to governments supplanted by the japanese and which tokyo needs to establish yen currency in china moreover japanese soldiers must move cautiously around foreign concessions c ces lost lest international incidents result in short japan plans a new order in which china will be swallowed 1 so long ing as a occidentals dentals get the cream of chinese trade this new order cannot be realized but the land of the rising sun h has as a foolishly stubborn philosophy a patriotism that often borders on insanity and a disregard for tradition that may some day lead to a smack on the chin already starving from her two year war in china japan now risks involvement with the western democracies and russia at a time when a new war would be national nation suicide she wants no alliance with italy and germany yet the stubborn resistance si of britain and the U S over the incident is good evidence that only a european war can force london to capitulate to her demands such a development would hasten the inevitable pact between russia and britain thus bringing the soviet into full play on japans border surrounded by enemies and inevitably meeting revitalized resistance in china japan would be in poor shape but what of the inevitable can white men continue to keep face in a modern industrialized orient immediate issues notwithstanding both chinese and japanese are disgusted with a medieval system of foreign concessions eventually they will feel their strength and arise on that day the white man must go back home and the orient will mill return to its honorable fathers |
