Mr. Moore's remarks about N"
Japan Society drew denial from r r
Worden. secretary of the society. who
was in the audience. He admitted thas fa,
Japanese individuals had made dono
tions, but declared that the work Of
the society was educational, not proua.
gandist or political
"Why, then, did the Japan Society
interest itself in the suppression n
the news of the twenty -one demands
Japan made to China in 1857 de-.
manded Mr.. Moore.
AS spondent at Peking, said Mr.
Moore, he had cabled these demands n
, America, realizing that they were Of
great moment, and that they were an
evasion, at least, of the agreement be-.
tween Japan and Britain. He resigned
from The Associated Press because Ii.
latter had refused to give them pub.
licity, he said.
"1t was Japanese propaganda ths,
caused their suppression" he declared
Japan is conducting an ilegitims.s
propaganda in this country"
Mr.. Moore did not believe, however
that this country would ever 20 to ws,
with Japan. He agreed with Mr.. Brysn
that the dove of peace would always
. fly over the Pacific. but he declared
that this would best be accompished
by talking facts and not nonsense"
He advocated putting the financial
affairs of China under the joint control
of Great Britain. Japan and the United
States for a period of tutelage. Chinss
affairs are in such a mess. he said, that
something of the sort must be done.
"China's present state is much like
Russia's," he said. "Manchuria, Mon.
golia, Turkestan and Tibet have prst.
tically broken away from old China
He declared that If cable tolls were
rot 40 cents word America would
know that the Chinese revolution ia
tremendous thing.
He was in favor Of letting Japan send
troops to Siberia now. 1t would give
Japan an opportunity to protect CHM
from Germany and to find for herseH
place on the continent of Asia,
