To the Editor of the "Norra-Cama Day News. we Sin,—After reading Mr. Reiber's well written letter I fee! must; envious. He ig apparently able to} lay claim to! being 100 per cent. of it has any bearing with the subject. contained in his letter.
His fortunate position in knowing ""officially and otherwise'? where he belongs in the matter of races, led me to inquire where I belong. "Officially" I know but "otherwise" I do not. As a guide I append herewith the latest analysis of my leod recently taken; also a facial characteristic which may throw some light on the subject.
50.0 per cent. Danish 24.2 per cent. French.
24.7 per cent. English. and I believe through associating with various types of Jews the end of my nose has taken a decided dip; hence 1.1 per cent, should cover any Jewish trace in me Can you, Sir, tell me from the above what my nationality really is? I cannot be a Dane as I can-rot speak a word of Danish. Neither can I ba French as not only do I not speak that beautiful language but I do not wear corsels, English I know is out of the question as for the three years I have endeavoured to obtain British papers but without success, was told I did not comply with any of the following:
(a) Has resided for a period of not less than five years in the British Isles or Crown Colony, (b) Has been in active service for a period of not less than five years in his Britannic Majesty's Forces and (c) Has a good character To be able only to claim 1.1 per cout. of the last of the list—Jewish, is then, I suppose out of the question However I hope' you will be able to solve this problem for me, Apologizing for taking up your valuable time.
I am, ete., Shanghai, Apri] 11, 1923.
