Only one newspaper issued in the English language, and that a paid "any Conference, which met in Shanghai first week in November and continued its sessions informally in Nanking. Whether the delegates were trying to avoid the American and British newspaper correspondents is not known, but it is known that no Americans or 'Europeans succeeded in attending' any of the sessions, Therefore it is impossible to say whether the Conference amounted to little or much; whether it was simply another inst. the white man's activities in Asia, or whether it is the beginning of a movement which is ultimately to unite the races of Asia against the West. At any rate, it is of interest for the West to know that a Pan-
Asiatic Conference was held at Shanghai at this time; that this conference was attended by some fifty-two delegates claiming to represent China, Japan, 'Turkestan, 'Turkey, Ceylon, Afghanistan, Formosa, and Arabia, 'The Filipinos were' not~ represented, and the Koreans were barred owing to the opposition of the Japanese, writes a Shanghai correspondent to the "Manchester Guardian."
