Shanghai, Feb. 16, ***That the leading article in question may arouse indignation in the hearts el some readers is to be regretted. On the other hand it is a fact that it has received the commendation of others. It is completely untrue to suggest that this journal has changed its attitude towards Japanese invasion of China. On the other hand it is true that no such leading article appeared during the months of August and September of last year, for the very simple reason that no such inadvisable meetings had then been held.
