AN AMERICAN ON UNITED STATES
POLICY IN CHINA.
ITS SHARE IN CREATING THE PRESENT CRISIS.
THE PRICE OF POLITICAL IGNORANCE.
The following remarkable letter, says the North China Daily, News is by the head of an important American firm in Shanghai, The sentiments expressed are undoubtedly shared by the over- whelming mass of Americans in Chira.
At least the headlines in the lead ing papers of the United States so indicate-which were received here by the last mail, reports that are so astonishingly incorrect and so far at variance with the real facts. Their publishers making no attempt to acquaint the reading public with the real cause of the present troubles in China, creating a very serious sentiment against our commercial progress in this country, when we take into consideration, these er- roneous reports are forming an opinion in the minds of more than 100,000,000 of our people.

America's Want of a Policy. The chaotic conditions existing in China, it will astonish you to know, were brought alut largely by the lack of a definite policy on the part of the United States Government toward the Asatio, nad our utter lack of how to deal with them diplomatically. Great Britain since the world's war had in a mensure allowed the United States to assume the initiative in affairs pertaining to China, until we made such a de plorable eas of it, they were again compelled to take the initiative and to act independently of the United States, who had practically refused to co-operate with her.

Our policy has not been suficient ly defined, besides our State De- partment and the members of Con-equipped men, you can then realize gress have not the real understand ing of Asiatic affairs or the neces sary experience in deaing with them, our attitude has been at all tanes misinterpreted both by tho Chinese and the Filipinos as weak. ness instead of a desire on our part to assist them in their national aspirations.
Imagine for one moment our feel ings, when the United States Gov- ernment told her subjects that it might be necessary for us to evacu ate China. What disposition did the officials at Washington expect us to make of our interests? Did they expect us to turn it over to a howling mob? This attitude on the part of our Government held us up to ridicule by the subjects of other Powers.
Great Britain has seen this dan ger, but our Government shirked her responsibility and therefore America is largely responsible for the present situation, and the future will prove very detrimental to our commercial interests.
