Blames China's Plight On Us.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 15, 1912:
Correspondent Says America Is Silent In Face of Russian Aggression.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Friday, Nov. 15.— The Peking correspondent of The Daily Mail telegraphs:
    "Russia's action in recognizing the independence of Mongolia is having far-reaching effects in China.
    "Telegrams from the interior demand the impeachment of the Government. Already the Foreign Minister, Liang Men-Ting, has resigned, to the general regret of the Diplomatic Corps, on whom he had created a favorable impression. He had unusual qualifications, speaking English perfectly, besides being gifted in Chinese scholarship.
    "While proclaiming her adherence to the policy of the maintenance of the integrity of China, America has witnessed without a word of protest Mongolia being separated from China and brought under Russian suzerainty, and her delay in the recognition of the Republic has materially assisted Russian policy and shaken the Chinese Government.
    "The clamor that has arisen is against a Government which failed even to obtain recognition from the other republics after whose governments the Chinese is modeled, America and France, for example, while Mongolia has received recognition from Russia.
    "The British memorandum which the British Minister handed to the Chinese Government in March threatening that unless China gave a written undertaking not to interfere in Tibet England would not recognize the republic, is still unanswered. This is regarded as one of many unfortunate blunders made by the present British Government.
    "Its policy has consisted of resolute support of the Indian opium dealers and is in defiance of the universal sentiment of the better classes in China."
