One Unpleasant Experiences
Dr. Lee says the voyage was ex,
cellent and was married by only one
disagreeable feature In Yokohama,
he says, the Japanese claimed that
there were Koreans among the party
who could not continue BY the inter
vention of the American consul he
says the chief of harbor police finally
apologized and allowed the members
OF the party to go ashore for short
time without molestation. Before that
he had refused to allow them to land
without an individual examination of
every passport, according to Lee. Dr.
Lee refused to allow this procedure,
but gave his word that all members
of the party were Chinese.
Some Private Students
+ About 80 Of the party are private
students who are going to America
for instruction in the larger univer-
sites; the remainder are government
students who will be educated at its
expense. The government students
will be distributed all over the United
States in many colleges to follow yari-
GUS lines of higher education.
Practically the entire party will see
the United States for the first time,
but most of them are conyersant with
the English language and freely greet
ed friends, both Chinese and English
here in the English tongue which they.
have studied for years in China.
