it attempts to deprive the United States of trade by intimi-

-dation and duress of those who would otherwise be willing

traders with the United States. The citizens of the United

States under the treaties between the United States and

China have the right to insist that the police authorities

of China shall suppress such intimidation and allow the

trade which was guaranteed to be unrestricted by the Govern-

visit the United States, or to do business there, should

be harassed in their attempt to enter the United States by

measures subjecting them to discomfort, inconvenience,

contumely and insult, and I do not hesitate to say that the

influence of President Roosevelt's administration will be

thrown toward a protection of the rights of these classes.

Of course the best place to determine what a man's status

is, whether he is a coolie, merchant or student is at his

own home, and the disposition and tendency of the President

need not reiterate. It is that of friendliness and sympathy

and an earnest desire to aid China in her effort to become

more strictly a nation and to aid her toward the develop-

-ment of her immense resources.

To this the senior Chinese Member of the

Legislative Council, Hon. Dr. Ho Kai responded that he and

his colleagues concurred with Mr. Taft in his description

of the evil tendencies of the boycott, but they did not in

any way by that statement mean to express a lack of sympa»
