DENIES C0RBIN'S STORY
Retired Missionary Takes Exception
to Statement About China.

NEW YORK. March l6-"Any one
recently home from China and hearing
the statement of Gen. CorbIn that mis-
slonaries are the present cause Of the
present unrest in China cannot help be-
ing astonished," says the Rev, Har-
rington S, Little an Episcopal mission
airy. just RETURNED from China after
nearly eight years residence there.
He says the charge against the mis-
sionaries is preposterous. He said yes
terday:
Undoubtedly there has been some
cause Of irritation against French mis-
sionaries who have used the power OF
their Government In their work and in
lawsuits and whom France has used to
further her interests In China
AT the demand of France Roman
Catholic bishops have been given by
the Chinese Government high official
rank, and with their new authority has
come the temptation TO misuse their
power. but even So II is impossible, in
view OF the facts already stated, to ad-
nit for a moment the charge of Gen.
Corbin against missionaries.
Careful study OF the Chinese ques-
ton compels the conclusion that politi-
cal and social rather than directly re-
ligious conditions have brought China
to its present state Of agitation and tur-
mol "
