Ir hardly seems worth: wasting space nowadays on the wild utterances, of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, so plainly does every word he utters reveal him as simply an agent of the Bolsheviks in China, Whose business is to stir up animus against other Powers by fair means or foul. But the interview reproduced to-day on another page from the "Japan Chronicle" is the first that he has given, since leaving Canton, to any Westesn journalist and even this was only recorded after previous refusal to the same paper. We are, therefore, entitled to regard what Dr. Sun here says as a considered exposition of his faith' for foreign readers; as such, it contains things which cannot quite be allowed to pass unchallenged,'so wholly untrue and vicious as' they are.
The clumsy attempt to put! Japan in a different category other foreign Powers, almost make out that she is not really' a foreign Power—soinchow one does not funny that the Japanese will quite. relish this—is an illustration of Dr. Sun's urier inconsistency. Just now it suits him make out that Japan is China's only friend except Russia—possibly because his' Bolshevist!
