AMERICA AND NATION- ALIST PROPAGANDA.
SOME REASONS FOR THE NANKING CLIMB DOWN.
"WITH PRESTIGE GONE."
www
A correspondent to the North China Daily News gives the follow- ing reasons why America is not prepared to back up the rest of the Powers in a vigorous policy with regard to China:
I have, he says, just returned from America and am not surprised that the hands off China" spirit in Washington has been definitely declared. In the Far Eastern Divi- sion of the State Department the decided senior men displayed a spirit of sympathy for the Kuomin- Lang cause, with utter disregard of
Upon arrival in the city, the party immediately called on General hiang Kai Shek who is at present not attending his headquarters, but is doing business at the offices of the Political Committee of the its communistic tendencies. Sanking Government, which are Senators, Congressmen and lead- now established in the official reai-ing financial men had been imbued dence of Mr. Ting, the Salt Trafo with Nationalist propaganda. They would not listen or accept with an open mind any truths about the Chinese situation. Chinese lectur ers were invited at schools, colleges and universities to tell the young folks of China's aspirations and these propagandists did their work effectively.. Newspapers pandering to the public taste in relation to China would not tell the truth to the public; writers of China's real· condition and tread could not even get their facts published.
The Southern lender, in the мигве of the interview with the Japanese visitors, remarked in the main as follows:-
The Secession of Yang Sen. A conflicting report was that

It is such conditions that influence American politics and policies. Votes rule the State Department poty in Washington, for they must voice in their declarations to the public what that public believes should be done.
After listening to current pro- paganda, can one blame the aver age American at home for failing to understand that, in permitting American trade in China to be wweaked, treaties and officials n our Government fouted, and the flag defled as has been the honour Nanking; U.S. of our women prestige has been destroyed? With prestige gone, trade soon follows to equal depths.
