equally unfounded Mr. Willard had q
commission to write some magazine arti-
cles on the far East and asked If there
was any objection to his travelling on
the same ship with Mr.. Crane, who con
sented with the approval Of the presi-
dent, with whom Willard had once trav-
eled. 1t will be recalled that Mr.. Mil
lard also addressed that celebrated
Shanghai meeting and that Mr.. Taft
then publicly spoke Of him as one who
has written much and well on the far
East and has given close attention to
the statistics Of the trade between China
and the various countries Of the world.
The fact that because Mr.. Willard is
vigorously pro.Chinese he is put down
as anti-Japanese may throw some light
on the present situation. But the entire
mater can be understood and discussed
more intelligently and safely as the
facts become public property in the flu
ture."
