SYDNEY, This Day.

Professor Maemillan Brown, while visiting tho East, made extended inquiries regarding tho present position in China. Ho found that tho Bolsheviks had got a hold thoro, and had stirred up the coolies, but were unablo to influenco tho Chinese farmers. The Bolsheviks regarded tho British and Japanese as their greatest enemies, and were doing all they could to stir the Chinese against the two nations. They were endeavouring to turn tho Chinese against tho missionaries also. It was very hard for Europeans, especially British commercial men, to trado in tho free ports and coastal towns. China would never bo a \mity. Tho Chinoso army meant a gang of bandits. He could not see the slightest hope for China, unless a strong military Power like Japan took control. China, hated Japan, but. Japan was trying to do tho right thing in China. If Japan suecooded in mastering China, tho world would then have to look out, for Japan would then try to conquer the world. In spite of her protestations of pacifism and at a time when other countries were trying to reduce their armamonts, Japan remained the best organised nation in the world from military and naval standpoints.
