600 pounds, an increase of about 900, coo

duction of beet sugar has advanced from

about 100000 pounds. The sorghum pro-
duction is sS6, 800 pounds, and tho cane

persecution OF Chinese is inaugurated by
the enforcement Of the registration act"
says DIR. Martin, '.it Is morally certain
that our missionaries will be driven out"
DIR. Martins conclusions are confirmed by
other American residents in China.
OF course if the Chinese expel our
missionaries we cannot complain. We
agreed in 1859 and again under the treaty
of 1880 that "Chinese residing in the
United States shall enjoy the same privi-
leges, exemptions and immunities in re-
spect of travel or residence as may be there
enjoyed by the citizens or the subjects Of
the most favored nation"
We have repudiated this agreement and
can of course no longer demand resi-
dence in Chin, for our missionaries or
other citizens on the ground OF treaty
rights. BY orr action We have released
China from her treaty obligations. and it
Is discretionary with her hereafter whether
she longer tolerates American residents in
China or compels them to submit: to the
same conditions We have imposed on the
Chinese under the Geary law. OF course
we could not in decency undertake to force
China to observe treaty obligations that
We violate, and we are in no condition to
