[ABIATIC NEWS CORRESPONDENT]
New York, February 11th- - I enclose herewith an advertisement printed in the Providence News of Pro- vidence, Rhode Island. The advertise-.. mout you will notice is issued in the name of the so-called Nationalist Party China and calis upon the American people not to buy Chinese honds or to make any loans to China. This wiver
tisement and similar ones have been printed in several cities of the United States by organizations that have been organized by a fellow named Mn Soo, who claims to be the Anancial agent and representative in Ameries of Ur Sui
Yat-sen.
There has bien nothing "printed in America that has done so much duinng to China and the Chinese is this foolish bit of propaganda, professedly done in the interest of Dr. Sun, but 1 am sure that Dr. Sun, himself, will be compelled to repudiate this fellow as an agent and to repudiate the propaganda and adver tisements that he has aprend around' Amerien.
1t may be that he, or Dr."
Sun thought that the Americans were about to make prodigious loans to the Peking Government for the purpose of suppress ing Dr. Sun, and his followers, ai that they thought by this means to pre vent any much thing happening. But the American people are really little in- terested in the factional difficulties be. won the North and the South, and they have been so friendly towards the Chin eseGovernment and the Chinese people generally, that they were ready to invest farge sums of money not only in gov crainental and provincial loans bus in industry and jailroad construction of all kinds.
