CHINA PUZZLE HARD TO SOLVE BY DELEGATES (Continued From Page One.) whether she rejects that principle. Her representatives here are comporting themselves as ambassadors n unduWtably sovereign, stable, function lag Chinese government. They base their claims to unqualified recognition of the fact that the Pekin regime is the only one acknowledged by the powers assembled around the conference horseshoe. But the assurances of Messrs. Sze, Koo and Wong on that score are not convincing to everybody. Vital and farreaching arrangements, of hoped-for permanency are under way In Washington. Will it be possible—ask European and American statesmen—to effect such arrangements with a nebulous China? Where is young Mr. Wu, son of Tu Ting Fang, of the Canton government, whom Pekin asked to Join the Chinese delegating as representatives of South China, is being asked. He has not come. He •eorned the honor Pekin offered him. The South China Junta in Washington is. dinning into the ears of all the delegates that the Canton government will under no circumstances feel itself bound by any decisions taken here. There are rumors that the Sze-Koo-Wong triumvirate has made peace overtures to South China by offering it the chairmanship of the Washington delegation. That report cannot be verified. But the mere fact that it hae ganied currency seems to indicate that an uncertain and wholly incalculable system is crystalizing. SEEK TARIFF IX DEPENDENCE. China's “new charter" proposed last week by Dr. Sze, and substantiated broadly by the Root resolutions adopted this week calls first of all for “tariff autonomy” for the Chinese people. China demands the right to enact a Sze or a Koo tariff law, just as the United States passes an Nnderwood or Fordney tariff law. She demands the privilege of collecting anything beyond the existing 5 per cent restricted rates that she pleases. But here again the powers that have vast trading in this China “want to be shown.” They want to know in particular about the institution called the Ll-Kin, or local taxation system. It has not been made plain, conference statesmen say that although China may Impose only 5 per cent on foreign imports for revenue purposes, the Li-Kin organization requires in fact the payment of enormously higher and additional taxes before foreign goods landed at a treaty port can reach destination in the interior of China. The Li-Kin system is described as a widespread net work of petty “graft.” Everybody with power to extort it—the gatekeeper of a city wall, the controller of a canal lock the guardian of a highway crossing—sets up Li-Kin collecting bureaus. They cannot be passed without tribute, which is assessed arbitrarily and usually sticks in the palms of collector and his satellites. Hsu-Sbih-Chang, president of China himself has referred to the “universally execrated Li-Kin imposition.” Has the Chinese government the power to abolish that system of extortion'! It it has, declare those who propound the query, the time then will come when'tbe powers that trade with China can say whether or not they are ready to cooperate in reforming the Chinese tariff and placing it unrestrictedly under Chinese control. GUARANTEES WANTED. * From whatever angle one approaches measures of relief for China, one sooner or later bumps np agt'nst the question of the guarantees China can give regarding her internal stability. Capital can only come from abroad In any useful degree. Under the financial consortium, it can only bof obtained under international control. If it comes it will demand tangible and Inviolable pledges of security. Is the delegation now at Washington for China able to hold out assurances,

negotiable in a Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, London, Paris, Yokohama or Brussels bank that the delegation can pledge the absolute safety of foreign freights and property in China? It is the all-important score.' Everything depends upon it. No amount of emotional sentimentalism about China, her outraged past, her hopeful future, can obliterate that paramount issue. Dr. Koo is putting up a gallant light against what Chinese consider the innuendo that China is not a “going concert.” Dr. Koo’s contention is that if Cbiqa is chaotic and anarchial, in a political sense, intriguing foreign influence is responsible. The blame is placed primarily on the Japanese officers ir. command of' forces deliberately engaged in .prolonging and aggravating civil war in provinces. “Self-detarmlnation,” is the le’gend emblazoned in brilliant yellow on the banners of the Chinese delegation at IVashington.

but it is not in the interest of the peace of the world to permit Japan, an essentially military nation, to obtain the overlordship of China and an opportunity to organize the vast hordes of that country for war-—an opportunity to lead these hordes to western conquest, as in the days of Tamerlane. The very qualities which make the Japanese people great, their talents for and bravery in war, will make Japan a danger if given the suzerainty of China. Brland departs; Vlvianl takes his
