To the Editor of the "Norra-Cutna Datty News."
Sir,—If it took 1500 soldiers to take the first lady of Canton to the Sun, how many would be required to bring Eugene Chen back to Earth?
Awaken Eugene! This is the 20th century. By virtue of "barbarian" protection you thrive in peace and prosperity by applying the tutelage of a less civilized race to propaganda calewiated to stultify public opinion into tolerance of the persecution of your own race.
You mingle with a world that has little concern over ancient history and adorn your own body with apparel Confucius never dreamed of.
It is not what your ancestors were but what your people are today that counts, and when the educated class of Chinese learn to come down to earth and apply that 20th century education, with a ath century realism to 20th century conditions, the results are inevitable.
No, my dear Mr. Chen, it is not my liver but my heart that is affected by seeing innocent Chinese ini humanely tortured, robbed, and even ruthlessly murdered and the perpetrators of these crimes defended by Chinese educated in foreign universities.
Tam, etc, D. W. Crux.
Shanghai, Dec. 30.
