Roanoke gets away With two Of the

CHINA's BOYCOTT JUSTIFIED.
DR.. Arthur Smith Thinks q.
Should Cultivate Good Will.

Should Cultivate Good Will.
IF the United States fails to take
steps soon to ameliorate the conditions
existing between China and this nation,
it is doubtful if the Chinese boycott
against American products Will ever end
and it is probable all trade with China
will be lost" This was the discouraging
prophecy made by DIR. Arthur Smith of
Shantung, China, member of the Amer
lean board of missions, who passed
through Chicago on his way to New
York. THE Chinese have a great deal
to complain of against the United States
government he declared. 1.-The treat
ment of the Chinese who come to this
country has given them legitimate cause
to establish the boycott and am sure the
Americans in China all have deep regard
for the Celestials in their fight for great
er commercial power. Their pride has
been hurt by the unfair exclusion laws of
the United States, and it is probable the
relations between the two countries never
will be friendly as they ought to be,
no matter what may be the outcome of
the boycott. We in China can't help but
sympathize with the Chinese in their eff
forts to assert their great power. Since
the japanese have accomplished so much
in their fight against Russia distinct
change has come over China. Its people
have been awakened to the realization of
their power and this power they intend to
assert. America has made a great mis-
take in failing to come to better terms
with the vast nation across the Pacific -
