CROSBY THE ORIENTAL MYSTERY An authority on geography states hat one can, say hardly anything bout China without telling a lie. This 7 l i point is being demonstrated, unfor- tunately, at present. While each ed- ition brings more news of rioting in and fight from Shanghai, Canton, or Hong Kong, the explanations vouch- safed are diagrametrically opposite. Some one is telling the lie about China. No progress can be made as, long as such a condition prevails, for when it prevails, true causes cannot be uncovered. Resident celestials in Detroit have organized a Council of Chinese organ izations to tell why riots are being held in their country. One would think they might know. But a comparison of what the Council says with infor- mation that has come through from China previously informs the nose that something is rotten, and not in Den- mark. There is at present no way of de- ciding positively what is the truth. Here is the case as it stands: The Council, declares that the strikes began partly because foreign factories have been trying. to intro- duce child labor into China. Former information says that the strikes really hang on the pretext that child labor was going to be abolished. Working conditions in the factories were very bad, the Detroit group goes on to state. Working conditions are worse in native factories, is the re- ply, nevertheless in them the workers are not striking. As an explanation as to why there is a strike, dispatches have said that Bolshevist agents are stirring up the Chinese. This can- not be, the Detroit Chinese reply, there are no Bolshevists there. The one point brought up by the Qetroit organization that is not con- tradicted by others at present is that the extra-territorial treaties of for- eign powers in China are unfair. This can hardly be adjudicated by the layman. If it is true, or if it is not true but still is the cause of the dis-. turbances, it is a time when diplom- acy need not be afraid of the indignity of speed in remedying it. The .answer we. get, to every ques- tion about the conditions in China is yes-no. The result of this conflict-- ing propaganda, as some of it must be, is too readily to- be foreseen. It will prevent action. It will prolong suffering. Already predictions are that the riots may spread and that certainly they will persist for a long time. In the meantime, nothing except re- lief work can be done until some oz- der comes out of confusion. Valu- able time is being wasted on the side of foreigners, perhaps with malice prepense by those behind the striks, Chinese or Russian.
