which the Chinese publicity ngentx havfl
lai-ted here upon ihe consertiuni Is only
a continuation of the fight which tlid
unlive b-iiikers of Chinn have waged
successfully upon it ever bince it Was
established.
The consortium has never succeeded
in making a lean te China, licr-auie
of the t-eslstan-e of the Chinese bankers
te foreign competition, because of the
power whjeh this Chinese organization
of hankers has ever the Pekin Gov
ernment, nnd because of the popular
hostility te the consortium which the
native bnnkers have aroused.
This fnet apparently contradicts the
assertion of the Chinese propagandists
that the reason the SI (5,000,000 lean
te China failed wns the opposition et
the American group te the lean, iinlcn?
the Hu Killing bends were recognized

never nccepted uny leans from the con

combination of the chief Powers te sup
port the consortium lu China. Thla
idea of n sort of political consortium
behind the liuancinl Is the fnverft'a
idea cf the foreign delegates arriving
here. It is net believed bj the best In
formed observers here thnt the Admin
istration favors the; political combina
tion us part of the scheme. But
Japan nnd Fnglnnd wish te trade off
the Angle-Japanese Alliance for borne
definite organization te dominate the
Far Fast. ,
The Chinese drive against the con
sortium is the biggest outstanding fea
ture of the assembling conference. It is
directed against the most premisinff
ielui with which the delegates assemble.
It gees te the roots of the biggest prob
lem before the council. Hew fill))!,
China be helped te her feet and what
di'giee of international organization
will be necessary te exercise what Mr,
Hughes has dcscilbeel as an interna
tional trusteeship ever her? And It will
show at the outset just hew much of a
factor China will be iu the cenference
Uself?
A way te n compromise exists. In n

Community, the organized bankers of
China, clcclare-il that they might nvall
themselves of the oppertunitj of acting
"in u mutual spirit," with the bank
