Delving in the Archives Prof. Tyler Dennett of Johns

Hopkins University, whose volume fon "Americans in Eastern Asia" is looked upon. by Americans as by far the best work that has appeared fon the subject, is now on the job in his new position as head of the' Department of Publications (which also means he is the official historian) at the State Department. There are unquestionably numerous old letters, documents and other official papers concerning. Americans and American relations with China and other countries in the Far East which have been overlooked in the State Department's archives. Prof, Dennett, in his new position, will have ample time and opportunity: to examine such as there are, and. sometime in the future it can be Jexpected that he will write a second, volume—or additional papers elucidating his first volume—that will be of great benefit to those interested in that particular phase of Far Eustern history. of war debts, and shows a dispo: tion to look upon any claims at all from the Anglo-Saxon world. in this respect as the blind man. with seven dying children, an imbecile father, and a bed-ridden wife, looks upon the rich and sable-clad credi for who forectoses on Christmas Eve. jin the middle of a blizard.
