THE PLOT THAT FAILED.
A tale comes out of China which serves lo illustrate anew the trials of that country where Japan is concerned. Not long ago, it runs, 6ome Japanese plotters, seeking to weaken their ancient neighbour, conceived Mie idea of financing a Bolshevist movement among the bandits of Northern China. Their emissaries organised several hundred Chinese bandits, including presumably other discontents, and the new movement opened what it called "Bolshevist Headquarters" . in Shanghai. The Chinese Government promptly discouraged the local Bolsheviki, descended on tlie "Bolshevist Headquarters," and that was the end of it. The idea, says a Chinese student of sociology, could have gained no headway under any conditions, because the Chinese people have no conception of either Bolshevism or anarchy for propagandists to work on. Capitalism, as it is understood in tho West, plays practically no part in Chinese life, and until employers and employees aro sharply differentiated as Capital and Labour China will remain apart from Western industrial disorders.
