HOME TRUTHS Outspoken Speech By Consul-General
The
Shanghai, Feb. 5. recent anti-American demonstrations by Shanghat students, and the misconceptions of United States polley which he had noted in Shanghai, were deplored in an outspoken speech today by Mr. John Cabot, U. S. Consul- General, before the Rotary Club..
The Maited States had done much to help angl nothing to hurt China. Yet two days after his arrival in Shanghai, on the pretext of a petty incident which in no way involved the United States (he referred to the Kowloon Walled City eviction issue) thousands of students staged an anti-American demonstration and smeared buildings with anti-American slogans,
hud
"Would we do this were Wo plotting military adventures?" he asked,
Mr. Cabot pointed out that the United States had extended through UNRRA hundreds of
of ald millions of dollars
to that very block of countries which now claimed the Ameri- cans were trying to dominate.
Paradox
Mr. Cabot said that among which they held in foreign Bany strong impressions which, countries. he had received since his ar rival here, most have been pleasurable and fascinating, but one in particular
filled him with dismay.
He referred to the miscon- ceptions which seemed to exist here

Misconceptions
to
other
Mr. Cabut said that the see- end misconception he had not- ed was that the United States was extending help to nations for her own selfish ends and that she was doing this lu maintain her own prosperity.
After refuting these sugges- tions, he said that there was a third misconception, namely, that American policy was - spired by militaristle Dr Im- perialistic motives.
