In a momentary fit Of disgust, the agent
cabled:
''They don't want anything"

is Just ms Indifferent now that the war

In the chapter Foreign Residents
in China Mr.. Millard dcvotes some
attention to missionary work, and his
conclusion thereon (sce page 403) is
as follows:
l think that most foreign missionaries
in China now recognize that IL will not
In the future be practicable for western
nations to support them In issues with
the Chinese government which arise from
religious activity. Such a policy is incon-
slstent with western modern political in
stitutioDs, and incompatible with mainte-
nance of international equity. There is a
disposition among missionaries to be less
| aggressive In proselytinC. and rather to
| devote themselves to medical and cduca-
tional work. hoping that by thus aiding
| and beneItinE Chinese along practical
mes they may open way for spiritual
/ influence to enter. That foreign mission
/! aries have done and are now doing valua
bic educational work in China is appreci-
ated by a majority OF enlightened Chi
nese. who have no disposition to ldisturb
| thom as long as their presence and work
! does not create disturbing political and
social complications.
