TUB CHINESE RISING.

That the trouble in China is not over may be learned from cable messages published yesterday in which i“ was retorted that the Cantonese troops assisted by Russian leaders, had gained an easy victory, which might encourage them to make further efforts to prosecute their mischievous campaign. The outlook in Asia is not bright for Western Powers and the dangers of trouble arising from Bolshevik propaganda are serious. For years Bolshevik agents have been busy in all parts of the great Continent spreading the poisonous doctrine of class warfare an<l the overthrow of authority, and among the teeming millions of inhabitants the seed has no doubt found fertile soil. Even Tapau, friendly as she is towards (lie Western rat ions, is not free from anti-foreign feeling, as evidenced by the recent of foreign dances, a small matter in itself, but indicative of popular sentiment. The course of events in China should be of special interest to the people of Australia and New Zealand, because of the fact that the Pacific is expected to be the scene of the next great conflict of nations. Have the Western nations power to prevent that conflict? Europe, divided as it is by nroblems which arose, ire m the Great War, needs unity before the West can look to the En -t with any certainty c*f controlling its destiny.— ‘ Herald,’' Wanganui.
