DANGERS AHEAD FOR CHINA.
CARGO SEIZURES MAY LEAD TO PARTITIONING. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Reuter’* Telegrams. (Received February 25. 11 a.m.) PEKIN. February 24. The American organ the “ Pekin Leader,” in an editorial on the cargo seizures, says: “ If the Canton Government does not stop its seizures, it either acknowledges its lack of authority over the strike pickets, or definitely repudiates the treaties. For some time the Canton Government has maintained that it is independent of Pekin, and has tried to get recognition by the Powers as an independent Government, yet up to the present it has accepted Customs administration as controlled from Pekin. Much the same sort of domestic independence with the recognition of Chinese unity in dealing with foreign Powers has been maintained by other parts of China. This has been the basis of the attitude of the Powers to China. If the Chinese authorities at Canton and elsewhere refuse to assume this unity in foreign affairs it may mean the breakdown of nominally national government. The Powers might then be compelled to deal individually with the separate i ports of China, which would enormous|lv . complicate the already confused i situation and might even create the danger of partitioning the country.”
