NO NATION THAT CAN HELP IT RECOGNIZES
EXTRATERRITORIALITY IN ITS MIDST NOW
EXCEPT AS TACTFUL COURTESY - STEWART
By CHARLES P. STEWART
(Central Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—<JP>—
Except on a very small scale, as a
diplomatic courtesy, no nation of
today will recognize extraterritorial
ity in its midst if it can help it.
Diplomatically it still prevails
quite generally.
That is to say, all foreign pow
ers’ official representatives in
Washington, for instance, are sup
posed to be living in their various
native lands, subject only to their
laws; not ours. They laugh at
prohibition. Some of them laugh
at our traffic regulations. Other
wise they are pretty well behaved.
At least theoretically, however, they
might commit burglary or murder
and we could do nothing about it
beyond asking their home govern
ments to yank them hence In a
hurry.
* • *
This is all right enough, with a
corps of more or leas respectable
diplomats. ,
Obviously it never would do. ap
plied to every foreigner in America.
Yet such is the system which
China has to put up with.
There all Americans, Britons
Frenchmen. Italians. Japanese and
the citizens of several smaller coun
tries possess extraterritorial rights.
Germans. Austrians and Ruslans
also formerly posed them, but the
Germans and Austrians lost theirs
through the W’orld war and the so
viet s voluntarily surrendered Rus
sia’s, hoping to win Chinese friend
ship by doing it.

To Illustrate how It works:
An American who gets into trou
ble in China must be turned over
to his nearest consul, to be tried
by a United States federal Judge—
holding court right there in China,
with a United States district attor
ney, a United States marshal and
all the customary American person
nel and accessories.
Naturally the Chinese howled that
the extraterritorialized foreigners
get most of the breaks in there
transplanted tribunals—whether the
complaint be well or ill founded.
• • t
Of course nearly everyone as
sumes the explanation to be that
the occidental nations—and the
Japanese—like Chinese Justice sc lit
tle that they simply will not allow
their citizens to be subjected to it.
It Is the correct explanation, too
—now; and has been, for quite
awtyle. The Chinese themselves
feel that way about it. The new
Nanking government considers that
the lately established republic is in
tolerably humiliated by such a sys
tem.
Strange to relate, the original
idea was that the foreigners were
the ones humilatea.
• • •
Anyway, it was thus that Sultan
Suleiman the magnificent regard
ed extraterritoriality in the four
teenth century.
Nobody ever forced anything he
disliked upon Suleiman.
It was Suleiman who forced ex
traterritoriality upon the Christians
in the Ottoman empire. Christians,
he said, were a low-lived of in
fidels who were entirely unentitled
to be noticed by Moslem law. Con
sequently. they would have to get
along with their own law if they
wished to remain in his dominions
And so they did—on an extrater
ritorial basis—until after the World
war, in Turkey itself, and to this
day in Egypt and Morocco.
• * •
Americans never actually have
had formally organized federal
courts in Turkey. Persia. Egypt and
Morocco, as they have in C 'ina.
Their consuls have had to try ‘
their cases.
President Kemal Pasha ended it
in Turkey proper in 1923. Some of
; the powers objected, and the new
Turco-American treaty is unrati
fied yet, but extraterritoriality is
extinct under Kemal, whose code
virtually is Italian—plus the death
penalty.
Persia followed his example in
bolishing the “capitulations.' as
he old extraterritorial agreements
were called, about year ago, and
adopting a mixture of European
laws for natives and foreigners
alike.
Consular trials continue in the
land of the pharaohs and in Sul
tan Mulai Mohammed's practically <
internationalized realm.

terms—the Chinese and Japanese
were too busy to bother with them
—if they must litigate, they would
have to do it among themselves.
Hence extraterritoriality on their
soil.
Japan saw her mistake and cor
rected it in 1899.
China is but just beginning to
realize the error—just beginning to
make a fuss about it, at any rate.
• • •
President Chang Kai-Shek is
mighty clamorous, in fact.
“Let's wait.” rejoin the powers,
"until you adopt a set of statutes
we like the looks of.”
Even the United States—with all
our traditional friendship for the
Chinese—declined, a few days ago
to waive American treaty rights un
til something definite is offered in
place of them. “Then, maybe—by
degrees,” promises the state depart
ment.

The truth is, the Chinese repub
lican government was too uncere
monious for the rest of the world’s
peace of mind in grabbing the east
ern Manchurian railroad from Rus
sia recently.
The capitalistic powers may have
smiled at the soviets’ discomfiture
—all the same, they have their
doubts of the precedent.
Russia yielded extraterritoriality
—and now look at her.
Student Loan Funds
Have Been Exhausted
The student loan funds at the
disposal of the county superinten
dent, Mrs. W. R. Jones, have prac
tically been exhausted already. Six
students are benefitting from these
funds of the federated women, thi
Parent-Teacher association and the
Rotarians.
Students using the fund are at
tending the Kingsville College of
Industrial Arts and the Brownsville
Junior college.
The funds are loaned the students
without interest. Mrs. Jones has
arranged for further loans from lo
cal banks at four per cent inter
est. she states.
The county superintendent in
tends to encourage civic clubs in
putting up funds of this type.
