NATIONALISTS OF CHINA NOW FACE LIFE, DEATH TEST Dispute in Own Ranks and Ultimatum by Powers Put Future in Balance. By William Philip Simms Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April . 15.—The fate of the present nationalist movement in China is now in the balance, due to two new factors. First ,tlie nationalist forces are threatened by a split within their own ranks as moderates and radicals fight for control. Second ,a virtual ultimatum from the five great powers—America, Britain, Japan, France and Italy—today hangs menacingly over the nationalist leaders with only a thin-

ly veiled threat of reprisals if the demands are not promptly met. Possible Results Really the two perils to the young China cause dovetail and form only one. If the radicals among the nationalists gain the upper hand, the foreign powers are almost certain to intervene in the civil war. And if, on the other hand, the foreign powers attempt any strong-arm measures against the Chinese while the radical-moderate clash is on, the radicals would almost surely rise to the top on the wave of anger which would sweep the country. Any punitive acts indulged in by the foreign powers whose warships and armed forces are now crowding in on China, can only tend to throw the country into the arms of the antiforeign radicals and weaken the moderates by that much. The shelling of Nanking, however necessary it may have been, played right into the hands of the Chinese extremists. A few more such incidents would inflame all China against all foreigners and incite furtheir mob violence which, in turn, would lead to more reprisals, t the other name for which is war. The best friends Soviet Russia lias in the Far East today are those foreign powers which by hook or crook would crush the efforts of those |

nationalists. By the same token, the worst ene^

mies Soviet Russia lias in China today are those who have vision enough to recognize the justice of young China's contention that she has a right to aspire some day to a position of equality among the independent nations of the earth. Where I>r. Sun Failed Before he died two years ago. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, China’s Washington or Lincoln, tried to win the sympathy. if not the support, of the United States, Britain. France. Italy and Japan. He failed for two reasons. First, because some of these powers are interested in keeping China the same illiterate, backward, dependent country she is today. Second, the so-called western diplomats lacked the foresight to see that what China is asking for today is only what Japan was asking for yesterday, namely national sovereignty. Indeed, tlie resemblance between Japan fifty years ago and China at the present time is startling. Half a century ago, Japan was laboring under the same identical handicaps China now suffers. Postoffices, custom tariffs, coastwise shipping laws, extra-territoriality and all the rest were foreign-managed or forelgn-dictated. With her then as with China today, her only friend was the United States which country refused to make common cause with

the European powers in exploiting Japan and holding her back. At Cost of Two Wars Japan had to fight two great w'ars, one with China, the other with the mighty Russia, before Europe opened her eyes to the truth, which was that Japan was at last awake. Will China have to do the same? If she must she will, for no matter what becomes of the present war against the old order, the fight will not really end until, like Japan, China comes into her own. “For no race, however inferior it may be, will consent to famish slowly in order that other people may fatten and take their ease, especially if it has a good chance to make a fight for life.” That is what Dr. E. J. Dillon, a British writer said of China more
