lord of the admiralty, said the government
was firmly adhering to the traditional policy

of burning wood from a cooking stove OF
a Chinese family has good value 1t brings
/ a good amount of tea money to the house
boy of a big Chinese family, who sells 1t
| to gardeners for fertilzing flower plants.

could not in conscience be- with you, and
share your religious and patriotic fervor as
do in full measure, if I did not know your
whole-hearted devotion to the principle of re-
ligious liberty"
