In those years immediately following the outbreak of the war in Europe and before the conclusion of peace, Japan has entrenched herself so firmly that her present position and influence in China is not only domi- nating, but domineering. She went into Manchuria in 1905 after the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese War, and she has remained there ever since. Through her control over the means of communi- cation, over the Manchurian currency (largely by the Bank of Chosen), and over the postal and t...elegraphic systems, Manchuria is to-day virtually a Japanese economic reserve. She went into Shan- tung in November, 1914, and in spite of her re- peated promise to China and to the world at large to get out, she has remained there.
