RECOGNITION OF CHINESE
REPUBLIC BY U. S. URGED
Austin p. Brown Forwards Appeal
on Subject to President

letter asking for the recognition of
China as republic has been forwarded
to President Wilson by Austin p. Brown
Of this city, who has been conducting a
campaign to bring about such action on
the part Of the United States.
In the letter the attention of the Presi
dent is called to ""the great Importance
of quickly extending recognition to our
most eminent sister republic Of China, to.
which simple courteous act it is the unan
imous verdict of the people of this coun-
try she has jong been entitled, as ex-
pressed in the passage by Congress, with
out dissenting vote either in the House
or Senate. more than ten months ago,
of resolution congratulating the people
Of China upon their establishment of a
republican form of government"
Our failure to recognize their new
government" writes Mr.. Brown, is
surely quite different from the treatment
they would have received had the event
occurred during our own revolutionary
times, when our forefathers We're fighting
to free themselves from bondage al
most as cruel
1.-The spirit of 1T76 surely must live In
the hearts of all our loyal and patriotic
citizen, and II properly invoked the
unanimous verdict of this country would
be to not only extend to those now more
than four hundred million freedmen that
simple courteous act of recognition, but
to give them all the financial aid they
may need to develop their unparalleled
rich empire. for IL this Is done every man
ufacturer in the world will be taxed to
the limit and world prosperity will be
in evidence to an extent never before
known. and the people Of the United
States will be the greatest beneficiaries."
In closing, Mr.. Brown writes:
81 sincerely hope for the good of the
people of the United States and those of
the world In general that your excellency
will not drift in the condition of lethargy
which had such tight grip upon our
outgoing President in respect to this mat
ter but that on the contrary You will
