To the Editor of the "Nonrn-Caiwa DAILY News."
Sin,—Your comments on the meet ing of the Shanghai Missionary Association and the address by Mr.
Z. Koo call for some reply, The monthly meetings of the Association-are not public meetings, The membership is restricted to those formally elected, but courtesy visiting missionaries in Shanghai are invited to the meetings. The addresses or papers given are not generally published except by the consent of those contributing them, The reports published in the North-China Daily News" of the address by Mr. Koo were unauthorized, partial and conveyed an impression which the address itself did not make on the minds of many. lof those who heard it. As Chi man of the meeting it is my judgment that the great majority Jof those present did not regard the address as political propaganda and were not other than grateful for it.
Tt would be surprise to me [Committee which invited Mr. Koo speak had now any regrets in the matter, other than that Mr. Koo has been so imperfectly reported in your paper.
Tam, ete, G. W. Suerrano.
