China fought that kind of war for some 20 years without aer- igusly under-misting her national i e. Now extra-territoriality is gone and the foreigner is pretty mush a bystander watching the Guinean themselves throwing China's en- tire resources into the civil war. and the drain is a thousand times i greater. China is trying to fight this kind of war after being halt wrecked in eight yeazrs o! war with Japan. The result? Over-all deterior- ation has been too great to con- tinue much longer. Chins. with all her timelessness, cannot fight this kind or wsr for another I0 years. A lot of people do not think she can do it even one more year unless someone is willing is help, her pay for it. The Nationalist Government cries for foreign aid, which means an American loan without t.» many strings attached. In the old days of treaty ports and foreign control, the world's big countries often actually competed for the privilege of lending China money 1n those days the facilities for supervising such loans existed in china. ' Security was available. Economic concessions were the reward. It may have been unfair’ colonial, and humiliatlngj to‘ China's sovereignty, but it w rk- ed. Chiang Kai-Shel: rose to pow- . er largely with the help of that system and unified China behinrl a string of treaty ports. ‘ Now China is on her own, and can oifcr in exchange for such a loan only the nebulous hope thal- it might keep her from going Com- munist. , Unfortunately for this argu- ment, a- greet deal of money al- ready has been poured into China since 1945 without stopping Com- munism. - With Chlang Kal-Shekﬁs posi- tion weakening alarmingly, both in a military and economic sense, a substantial number of people believe the time for final decision has arrived-that the choice lies between a Communist Chins or a return of some degree oi for-
