Editor's Recommendation To Begin with, it is clear that China
must be saved by her own efforts, and cannot rely upon outside help. In
the international situation, China has had bothgood and bad fortune. The
Great War was unfortunate, because it gave Japantemporarily a free
hand; the collapse of Tsarist Russia was fortunate, because itput an end
to the secret alliance of Russians and Japanese... Out of the
renaissance spirit now existing in China, it is possible, if
foreignnations can be prevented from working havoc, to develop a new
civilization betterthan any that the world has yet known. This is the
aim which Young China shouldset before itself: the preservation of the
urbanity and courtesy, the candour andthe pacific temper, which are
characteristic of the Chinese nation, together witha knowledge of
Western science and an application of it to the practical problemsof
China.
