CHINA 10 BLAME HERSELF, CHCAGO ’ LAWYER DECLARES •*'i! " ; ;*• ’ n * X Should Improve National Health by Thorough 1 House Cleaning. By Randall Gould ~ PEKING (by mail.)—cftina must abandon the notion that her trouoles are due to outside forces, and improve the national health by a thorough house cleaning. “Unequal treaties,” “foreign imperialism.” “coercian by the powers” —these and similar catchword^Rre largely meaningless in searching for the basic causes of China’s condition today. Only by the overcoming of the rampant militarism which rules the country* relentlessly at present can China achieve he* salvation. Summarized, the foregoing expresses the findings of Silas H. Strawn, American representative on both Jthe Chinese 'customs conference and the extraterritoriality inquiry, after he spent more than half a year of intensive first-hand study of things Chinese, , Thrilling Experiences Strawn arrived here spectacularly last October on the-fast train rafn between Shanghai and Peking | for some time —a train which, after * being turned'back to Shanghai once, got in twenty-four hours later. After that time he went through about every extraordinary experience China has to offer, including Civil .war, airplane bomb raids and two lengthy severances of communications between Peking and the outside world. The uniquepesg of Strawn lies in the fact that he took it all with a smile and a jest, while at the same time watching everything with greht keenness in proverbial Yankee fashion. It would not be wholly amiss to paraphrase Synge’s famous title and flub Strawn “the playboy from the western world.” He enlivened ev- , cry gathering he has attended through his numerous good anecdotes, his unfailing humor, and his refusal to be humbugged—a refusal' which he indicated plainly by “speaking out in meeting” whenever a smooth and meaningless statement Was advanced. Horrified Colleagues Strawn horrified his diplomatic colleagues more than once. But *they liked it.> The other diplomats were grateful to- him for saying things they’d like to sa/ for themselves, but dare'hot. Curiously enough, the Chinese likewise enjoyed this outspoken Chicago lawyer, *vho has a habit of getting up and puncturing their rosy pictures of things as they ought i to be, but aren’t. While they felt ' a certain artistic regret eA seeing holes in their pictures, they likewise ■felt a certain artistic pleasure at the dexterity with which the javelins were thrown. Any man with a sense of humor can get along Chinese. And Strawn has a sense of humor plus. When I dropped into Strawn's office he was sending a cablegram to his home town of Ottawa, 111. He had heard the Y. M. C. A. was conducting a drive for- funds and he wanted his contribution to arrive on time. Strawn had not forgotten his home country or his home folk for a moment. But he learned a lot about China. I p to China “Disregarding the camouflage, it is . plain to see that China's troubles come right back to China herself,” he said. “We who are here for the customs conference and the inquiry into administration of law in China, will do all we can to help, and I think we can do something. “But while the militarist, the politician and the demagogue continue 'n the ascendancy in China, efforts of outsiders must necessarily be greatly handicapped. To say that the present treaties are reeponfflble is foolishness; Chinese and foreign well-wishers alike are working against impossible conditions at present. Railways are being ruined | “and both foreign and Chinese capital are being discouraged from investment in China —China, which should through its wonderful resources be one of the richest fields for investment on earth.” MURDER CASE UPHELD High Court Sustains Life Sentence of Elmer Pruitt. **■ State Supreme Court today upheld the Bartholomew Circuit Court in sentencing to life imprisonment Elmer P. Pruitt of Edinburg, Inch, convicted on a murder charge. Pruitt fatally shot Escar Cutsinger, a rival milk dealer, on an Edlnburg street June 10, 1924.
