POWELL,  11,  DESCRIBES 

TROUBLE  IN CHINA 

Alumni  Opinion 

"It 

is  useless  for  us  to  point  out  that 
China's  great  problems  are not  internation 
al  but  internal,  and  that  she  suffers  much 
more  from  her  'tuchuns'  and  their  parasi 
tical  troops,  from  bandits  and  opium  and 
graft,  than  she  does  from  foreign  nations" 
declares  Ralph  Powell,  '11, in  a  communi 
cation  sent 
the  Xew  Republic  and 
printed  in  the  September  30  issue  of  that 
magazine. 

to 

The  communication,  entitled,  " T he Cause 
of  the  Chinese  Ferment'',  tells  of  the ob 
servations  inade  by  Powell  of  the  Chinese 
situation*,  viewed 
the  standpoint  of 
from 
the  natives  and.not  from  the angle  general 
ly  perceptible  to  the  foreigner. 
Powell  is 
a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  Yale  in 
China,  situated  at  Changsha,  Hunan,  and 
in  this  capacity  is  in  a  position  to  know 
the  reaction  created  in  the  minds  of  the 
educated  people  of  China  by  the  continual 
upheavals  and  disturbances  raging  through 
the  country. 

Asserting 

that  patriotism  and  anti-for-
eignism  are  just  as  prevalent  in  China  as 
in  any  other  nation,  Powell  states  that  as 
long  as  equal  tariffs  to  all  nations  is  made 
a  law  and  compulsion  by  the  powers,  the 
development  of  a  strong  republic  in  China 
will  be a  financial  impossibility. 

Powell  urges  that  the  United  States  take 
the  initiative  in  giving  to  China  the  oppor 
tunity  she  needs,  that  of  handling  her  own
