The article presents some papers on political issues. One of the papers highlights the problem of Albania placed before the world's tribunal. Albania has become an object of intense covetousness on the part of its neighbors. The various Balkan states, Serbia, Greece, Montenegro, and, to a lesser extent, Bulgaria, have been eyeing the Albanian territories ever since they resolved upon a policy of expansion. Another paper discusses the future of Kiaochow, the territory which Germany leased from China in 1897 for ninety-nine years and which was captured by the Anglo-Japanese forces at the outbreak of the World War I.

China's first atomic test has again focused attention upon its development as a military power. All the evidence suggests that it may acquire an effective nuclear capability within the next ten years. Meanwhile, the Chinese People's Liberation Army numbers well over two and a half million, and is backed by a popular militia of many more millions. Yet it is important that the West should not allow itself to be mesmerized by China's sheer weight of numbers, nor by its progress on the nuclear front. What is significant is not so much China's strategic potential, actual or projected, but the strategic philosophy that will determine how such a potential is used.

The article focuses on news related to various socio-political issues from around the world as of January 1921. The Ku Klux Klan which is now planning active invasion of the North is not merely anti-Negro. According to Colonel W.J. Simmons, only native-born American citizens who believe in the tenets of the Christian religion and owe no allegiance to any foreign country, political institution, sect, or persons are eligible. The Chinese famine grows worse so rapidly that the few efforts being made to fight it seem pitifully inadequate. Even the famous famine of 1878 was less devastating, as a crop had been harvested before the drought began. The present famine follows two years of scanty rainfall and crop failures.

The article presents news related to political issues. The conviction of Colonel Charles R. Forbes, formerly head of the U.S. Veterans' Bureau, for conspiracy to defraud the government while in that office is said to have come as a surprise to those who had been present at the trial in Chicago. If so, it must have been because the government failed to make as convincing a case as had been hoped on the basis of the particular act chosen for its prosecution. A group of Chinese students at Yale-in-China have refused to study the Bible. In China a demand for freedom in the matter of religious instruction is regarded as a sign of bolshevism.

This article focuses on developments related to politics and society. The rationale of the troubles in China is beginning to appear in a clearer light as events move on. That a formidable reaction is shaking the Empire has been obvious enough, but it has not been plainly seen that it has a domestic side as well as an international aspect. The truth is, however, that the movement of which the "Boxers" have taken the murderous lead, is directed against not only foreign interlopers, but native reformers as well. On Saturday last the Cubans took the first step towards their promised independent government. The municipal elections then held, under a restricted suffrage, are regarded as only the preliminary to a Constitutional Convention, to be called before the end of the year for the purpose of framing a system of self-government to which the U.S., as in honor bound, will thereafter commit the destinies of the island.

The National Assembly, China's first experiment in constitutional democracy, has just adjourned in Nanking. If democracy is defined as an orderly procedure for popular government, the Assembly was far from democratic. The people were not represented. Few participated in the elections, and in many places the returns were thrown out and political appointees substituted for elected delegates. The assembly sessions were boisterous and disorderly but always the firm hand of politician Chiang Kaishek could be discerned pulling the strings.

One of the recent discoveries of American journalists in China was the progressive and efficient government of Canton. British news agencies had always spoken of it as impractical, as standing in the way of a united China, even as bolshevistic. But in 1921 several liberal Americans visited Canton, with the result that the city was presently made known to Americans as the seat of a liberal government, reasonably free from corruption, and following American democratic policies. Canton became the one glimpse of hope in the gloomy corruption of Chinese politics. All of this is now changed. General Chen Chiung-Ming has driven out President Sun Yat-Sen, and with the veteran of the Revolution have gone the idealists in the Government. The reforms which had been bravely begun by the former Government are at a standstill.
