When, as frequently happened, a Chinese official could not be handled by this method, then Japan's agents were put to work to stir 178 DEMOCRACY AND THE EASTERN QUESTION up trouble for him, and he soon felt the pressure from all sides of Japan's organized influence; while Chinese who were amenable to Japan's projects and suggestions were supported by that influence, and also given opportunities to make money easily. There are people in every country who can be cor- rupted into downright treason..., even men in high official posi- tions, and the percentage of Chinese who are thus susceptible is no greater than elsewhere. In most of these instances there was nothing in the proposals on their face to stamp them as invidious to China; indeed, for some time after the Lansing-Ishii notes were published a great many intelligent Chinese believed that the western Allied powers had thrown China over, that her only hope was to make the best possible terms with Japan, and that further to resist Japan's penetra- tion of their country was futile.
