The article presents the author's views on the United States' policies towards Formosa, Taiwan. The article states that Formosa is a liability, not an asset, so long as there is on the mainland opposite a hostile and powerful country supported by the still greater power of the Soviet Union. What Formosa means to the United States, depends on whether China proper is hostile or friendly or at least neutral. Until the U.S. withdraws from Formosa, a considerable part of her navy must remain in Formosan waters.

The article presents the author's views on the impact of the U.S. foreign policy with respect to Russo-Chinese relations. After long negotiation China and Russia succeeded in reaching an agreement on a treaty of resumption of relations. China recognized the Soviet Government on the one hand and Russia waived extraterritoriality and other special privileges for Russians living in China. Then China suddenly refused to ratify the agreement, Russia became imperious and threatening. To the U.S. Russian recognition may be an occasion for the exhibition of cant and the play of peanut politics.

In proceedings at Washington between November, 1921, and February, 1922, of the Conference on Limitation of Armaments and Pacific and Far Eastern Problems there was established a "moral trusteeship" over the Soviet Union, including Siberia. Siberia was, it is true, left under occupation by alien invading troops, but that was considered a minor matter in view of the larger aspects of the moral trusteeship. A little direct evidence comes to hand. Far Eastern papers bring news of an incident that throws much light on affairs in Siberia while Siberia was being discussed at the Conference.

In this article, the author discusses several Pacific problems along with several publications related to the topic. Books discussed include "The Pacific Triangle," by Sydney Greenbie, "China Awakened," by M.T.Z. Tyau, "China's Place in the Sun," by Stanley High and "Russia in the Far East," by G. Zay Wood. The thrice-told tale of the Far East is told here yet again with but little variation. Here people have the usual budget of books on China and Japan, swollen somewhat by the added interest called out by the Armament Conference. To those who would catch the drift of future events it has great import that already the experts are weighing the chances of prospective opponents in a war in the Pacific.

The opening of the Arms Conference finds one idea taking shape in the vagueness that now characterizes Washington. The author refers to the propaganda for international control over China. As specious also as it is obvious. Much may be conceded in the beginning as to premise. China's plight is well-nigh hopeless. Government is almost non-existent and what exists is almost irredeemably rotten. Brigand chieftains, owning responsibility to no authority and maintaining bandit armies, hold sway over large territories, looting when their necessities demand. Revenues are withheld from the Central Government, which is in effect insolvent.
