NEW YORK, May lS.-P. X. Lee, native
Of China but a resident Of this city, said
TO a reporter: "The Chinese minister in
a recent conversation. said to me: China
will endure the treatment that Is being ac-
corded To her by the United States to the
utmost limit that can be reached under
the treaty. Then she will retaliate'" Mr..
Lee said the minister was personally in
dignant
"China, as a ma ion," Mr.. Lee added,
as not as jealous of the rights of her
humble citizens as many other countries.
i think the people of China, more than the
government, will retaliate on Americans
in China. The Geary act does not violate
the treaty to the extent that is popularity
supposed"
