A good deal of what appears in print in England of newspaper articles on China and Japan and related subjects, with all of which readers on your side are intimately conversant is doubtless based on imperfect knowledge. That is perhaps inevitable in all the circum- stances, having regard to distance and the changing current of events. Some of the opinions expressed are also too obviously in the nature of special pleading on one side or the other. But, even so, it is better that points of view should be dis- cussed quite freely than that there should be no expression of opinion at all I such cases silence is the foster parent of indifference.
