“非所計也”

　　新年第一回的《申報》（一月七日）〔２〕用“要電”告訴我們：“聞陳（外交總長印友仁）〔３〕与芳澤〔４〕友誼甚深，外交界觀察，芳澤回國任日外長，東省交涉可望以陳之私人感情，得一較好之解決云。”

　　中國的外交界看慣了在中國什么都是“私人感情”，這樣的“觀察”，原也無足怪的。但從這一個“觀察”中，又可以“觀察”出“私人感情”在政府里之重要。

　　然而同日的《申報》上，又用“要電”告訴了我們：“錦州三日失守，連山綏中續告陷落，日陸戰隊到山海關在車站懸日旗……”

　　而同日的《申報》上，又用“要聞”告訴我們“陳友仁對東省問題宣言”云：“……前日已命令張學良〔５〕固守錦州，積极抵抗，今后仍堅持此旨，決不稍變，即不幸而挫敗，非所計也。……”

　　然則“友誼”和“私人感情”，好象也如“國聯”〔６〕以及“公理”，“正義”之類一樣的無效，“暴日”似乎不象中國，專講這些的，這真只得“不幸而挫敗，非所計也”了。也許愛國志士，又要上京請愿了罷。當然，“愛國熱忱”，是“殊堪嘉許”的�... Continue reading book >>
