Icove1 is quite probable that foreign cititzens will occupy a vastly different situa- tion, if any, in the Chjna of the fu- ture. The popular Cantonese partyl which is objecting so strenously to' control by foreigners promises to be the successful one in the present civil strife. In a general settlement, their demands will have to be satisfied to some extent or prove a source of trouble thereafter. Ilow far world powers will insists that certain privi- leges be reserved to their citizens re- mains Problematical. It is almost certain, however, that they will not repeat the gunboat methods of open- ing up the interior of China which were used after the Boxer affair in 1898. The test of the Cantonese party- will come in governing the territory which they have and may conquer. If the reports are, true, they have wisely planned to set up a dictatorship until the masses have become sufficiently educated that a constitutional form of government may be established. Their success in attaining these ends will, of course, be another matter. Prob- ably because of the great bulk of their nation, however, the Chinese have always developed slowly and gradually. Ingthe diplomatic settlement of the present difficulties, America will very likely play a leading and important role. Having no consession or sphere of influence in China, as well as being highly respected by the Chinese ,she is preeminently fitted to regard sthe situation with fairness, and to seek a statesmanlike remedy.

SMITH HOSPITALITY LACKING Nearly forty Cornell athletes were disappointed last Saturday night when, for the first time in years, no banquet was tendered them follow- ing the track meet at Yost Field house. To make matters emphatically worse, "'a banquet at the Union" was - scheduled, on the program which the visitors were given upon their de- parture from Ithaca, the information for which was furnished by the track management here. TIfe net was finished before 10 o'clock. 'The Cor- nell ,eam had nothing Ito do except wait -until well past midnight for the train home. Michigan teams are entertained with a banquet or smoker at Ithaca every other year and the same custom did exist in Ann Arbor until this year. The Union arranged and financed the affair until two years ago when Blue Key took it over. The reorganized Blue Key society attempte'd to handle the affair this year but could raise no funds for the purpose. It is regrettable that the Athletc association does not make some pro- vision for defraying the expense of occasional entertainment for visiting teams. Michigan teams in various sports are feted every now and then yhen they play out-of-town, and not always by the alumni. - A banquet in honor of the Cornell team would have been particularly' fitting this year considering that Michigan won. Instead, an annual custom was broken. The 'Union can- not be expected to finance such a pro- ject, nor Blue Key for that matter. Could not the Athletic association take the responsibility on such oc- casions? SIGNIFICANT CHANGES { With the general exodus of Amer- icans and British from the Yangtze valley, significant changes and prob- lems of far reaching importance seem to be appearing in the Chinese situa- tion. To some observers, the foreigners are evacuating this territory with little hope of returning. By the time the affair is settled, many of their possessions will have been seized or destroyed by the Chinese.
