From the London Post, March 81
The local misery which was inflicted on
millions OF Cinnamon to pay us the war indemnity
which we exacted Is said to have been too terrible
for description and 1t is generally believed that the
Chinese empire groans to this day under the bur-
dens then imposed upon the wretched popula-
ti0n. We have cannonaded the Celestias into
free trade, open ports open rivers open roads
We treat them rather as vanquished people than
equal friends and allies and we expect naughty
and egotstic nation to submit meekly to our yoke
without struggle or protest Year after year all this
confusion aud injustice has gone on without hope OF
amendment. Our intercourse with China has been
characterized by violence upon our side and deceit
upon theirs. Evasion and Intrigue are the only
that they have been able to employ with efficacy
against u.s. and as q natural consequence we are
often as Ill informed now as we were twenty years
ago about all those things which most concern US in
common.
