NIAGARA B RAN D SPRAY CO.. Limited D. W. CHURCH, Colborne J. A. B. WILSON, Cobourg "Vox Nostrae Scholae" (Continued from last week) In 1S98 there was a short-lived attempt to reform China on Western lines. The reactionaries, led by th3 Empress Dowager, crushed the move- _______t; hut two years later the Boxer rising broke out in the north. Although the rising was partly anti-dynastic, the Empress Dowager supported it, for it was in the main, anti foreign. "The rising wias a Wind protest on behalf of the dis-:ressed state of China, and its ruthless attacks on foreigners brought heavy punishment and reparations." After 1900 the attempt to Western-e China was repeated. Education as modernized; representative gov--..nment was promised, but delayed because of the illiteracy of the people; and practical improvement, such as railway building, was encouraged. The old Empress Dowager died in 1908, and once again China had a child emperor. The country was divided, the south being more radical that the north; and the south soon broke away to form an independent republic with Sun Yat-sen, a Christian of Canton, as president. The last Maiudhu emperor abdicated, and the republic was extended to include all of China. The difficulties facing the new republic of China were tremendous, and they were not lessened by the outbreak of the Great War, into which China was drawn. The Great War weakened Euorpe in Asia, with the result that Japan became the dominant power. In 1915 s'he made her "twenty-one demands" on China; and China, because of her weakness, was forced to accede most of them. In this way, Japan gained a good deal of power }n China, especially in Southern Manchuria and Eastern Mongolia, a fact which the Chinese bitterly resented, even to the boycotting of Japanese goods. The country itself fell in rupted condition. An ex-bandit became war-lord of Manchuria and fought to gain control of the north of China "11 --ar,while the nominal head of the Chinese republic was reduced mere puppet, and the unfortunate common people in the war areas ar, ' beyond saw the:r food supplies ra aged or seized, so that they were le to face famine and starvation." iSun Yat-sen, who had retired for number of years, again came to tl fore in the south, as the leader of Chinese nationalist party and in 1921 was elected at Canton as president of the republic. His "programme of national independence, democratic government, and radical social reform was increasingly accepted," although he failed to bring north China under his government. The youth of China supported the nationalist movement and was influenced by strong anti-foreignism and by Bolshevist propaganda from Russia. 'The movement received both moderation and direction from General Qhiang Kai-shek, who became its leader In 1926, after the death of Sun Yat-sen in 19*25, Chiang Kai-shek concentrated on the task of winning north China, and successfully led his army northward until in 1928 Jie entered Peking. The capital of the new nationalist government, which received foreign recognition. The troubles of China were not yet over. The radical nationalists objected to the amount of power given to Chiang, who had risen to power through the army, partly by Russian support. Communism spread throughout China, and became especially strong in the south, A number of provinces began rebellions with the purpose of setting up independent governments. "Banditry and piracy could not be stamped out, and flood and famine, the poverty and illiteracy of the bulk of the people, made the establishment of anything approach ing democratic republican govern' ment almost impossible." China's foreign policy was coloured by the anti-foreign trend of the tionalists. Opposition was strong against Britain which had "the largest economic and financial interest in China," but Chinese resentment increased against Japanese imperial-Manchuria gave rise to one of China's greatest problems. Although the population is predominately Chinese, control of the province is disputed by China, Russia and Japan. After 1928 Manchuria was under the uncertain rule of a governor allied with the Nanking government. Japanese interests there increased until in 11931 Japan felt justified in interfering in Manchuria in the interests of stable government. Japan invaded Manchuria and drove her successful army southward to take Jehol and threaten Peking. In 1932, Manchukuo was created an indemepdet state under Japanese protection and iri 1934. the MaflChu Emperor of China, who 'had abdicate!! in 1912, became Emperor of ManchuklM. Seemingly the Japanese occupation of Manchukuo, was only the begining. The militarist partv of Japan has renewed the war, and the Chinese government army, led by Chiang Kai-shek, has stoutly resisted the invasion. The question that remains to be decided is this--Will China become a prey to foreign imperialistic ambition and lose her independence before she has a chance to work out her own salvation and organize herself in a manner that will give her some chance of survival in the modern world? (The information and quotations in these articles on Japan and China have been obtained from "Modern Europe and the World." bv Professor Flenley). COLBORNE COUNCIL Business was light at the regular onthly meeting of Colborne Council Monday evening, April 11th, 1938. Present:--Capt.W. J. Troop, Reeve; Leonard Gordon, Capt. Ohas E. Redfearn, Alex. E. Rutherford, and Fred ©pence, Councillors. The Public Liability Insurance was renewed with The. Imperial Guarantee and Accident Insurance Company of Canada, C. L. Keating, agent, at a premium of $(104.40--reduction of $17.00 from last year's premium. Only accident on the streets was reported during'the past year, and no specific amount for damages has been claimed yet in that case--Mrs. Hancock's fall on icy pavement. communication from, Department of Public Welfare gave the maximum ants to be allowed by Ontario Government towards dir,ect relief expenditures during months of January, February and March. Colborne's allowance for March will be short $184.00 as when compared with the amount alloted under the old schedule. The reason given for the reductions is because of the reduced assistance given by the Federal Government for these three months. Thus municipalitnes are all hard hit and it will mean increased levies in It was decided to discontinue all direct relief in Colborne after April 14th, 1938. The following payments were confirmed. W.
