To the Editor of the CRIMSON:
It is very unfortunate that Bishop Root, in his recent addresses, has very much misrepresented conditions in China. One would suppose that missionary education is the predominant factor that is determining the eventual outcome of Chinese educational and political developments. Nothing, in fact, is farther from the truth. The Chinese people are, on the whole, broadminded enough to permit missionary activities in educational work; but they always see to it that these activities are kept within bounds. As soon as the missionaries go beyond the limits, we grow impatient with them; and that is why, only a few months ago, we had a nation-wide anti-missionary movement. It is much wiser, therefore, I think, for men like Bishop Root to be moderate in their statements than to create any false impressions. Moderation will uphold the missionary cause in China much more effectively. H. H. CHANG, Unc. G.
