CHAO KUNG Book's Authorship Denied

To the Editor of the "Nonri-Ciiwa Day News"

Sw—Neither you, nor your R. (oman) C. (catholic) correspondent will be abie to arow me into a controversy.

T only repeat and reiterate what have declared publicly last year: it Tam not granted perfect freedom and liberty in all Christian countries to lecture about Buddhism in the same unobstructed manner in which Christian missionaries are allowed to pursue heir missionary activities China, then all Christian missionaries must get their baggage ready and quit China, The words you quote from the concluding chapter of a book which was published under my name, T herewith formally ded words, the whole book is not my book. That book was written by someone else using my name without my knowledge. I repudiate, therefore, the words quoted as well og the where hoax.

Cuno Kuno, Shanghai, July 10, **#In "no. Christian country where there is religious freedom is there any attempt 10 prevent the preaching Budanism, Stilt Tess is that the case England, where there are Buddhists of European race well known for their feilgious pellets. The objection of the British "authorities to allowing Chao Kung to pursue his activities in Britain levelled not. against, the which ie now claims to ha Dut against Chao Kung him se ff course, should hardly be a matter for surprise.
