asked the powers for their programme,
which communication was answered. The
press has been exaggerating the share
which diplomacy has hitherto had in the

The Chinese minister however, admits
receiving no direct news from the Chi

There is growing dissatisfaction through

a number of papers, including the Tage-
blatt, express establishment at the meager
and ill-cOnsidered reports from Vice Ad-

China, or even certain provinces of
China. He urges, therefore, mutual for
getfulness and forgiveness. He concludes
with saying:

time to carry our civilization to China"
