HIN WONG, B. J. IL, RISKS
LYNCHING FOR A STORY

When the Chinese boycott of Japa.
nese goods brought China and japan
almost to clash several months age
and Fukien China, was seething with
wrath against its merchants who in
sisted in carrying stocks Of japanese
goods. Hin Wong. editor Of the Can
ton Times, a graduate of the School
of Journalism of the University Of
Missouri. risked being lynched by a
mob of students by printing In his
paper the two versions of an anti
Japanese brawl in Canton.
Early in May last year as result
of the unearthing of plot between
Peking authorities and Japan whereby
an understanding was reached that
Shantung should remain in the hands
of Japan, Chinese students rose stimuli
taneously in Southern China to pro-
test. Against the commercializing
spirit of Japan the students declared a
boycott of Japanese goods. This boy
colt was first declared at Peking and
spread rapidly throughout China crys-
talizing itself in the coast cities where
Japanese trade was heavy. In Shang-
hal business was tied up for several
months.
The outburst reached Canton, the
biggest city in Southern China, in Feb
ruary, 1919. Here the students had a
clash with the military authorities.
The Evening Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1917-1920, 1920-05-20

Three big department stores selling
japanese goods were ,raided and
brawl ensued. The disturbance wai
quelled only by the Intervention Of the
military authorities and the imprison-
ment of the attacking students and
their leaders. This infuriated the
Canton students, who threatened to
declare a wholesale strike il their COM
rades were not released. Canton news
papers being warned made no COM
ment on the brawl. One newspaper
alone, the Canton Times. came out
with full story of the incident and
endangered the life Of the editor. Hin
Wong. because it gave the two YER
sions of the brawl.
Disturbance Is Qnleted.
Fortunately for the Canton Times
editor, the military authorities OF Can
ton acceded to the demands OF the
students. thereby Quieting the rioters
rage towards Wong.
Mr.. Wong belongs to the class OF
II of the School of Journalism Of the
University. He is scout commissioner
for South China. He refused offers OF
the Peking government to hold port
folio in the cabinet, and to become
vice-president of the Senate in order
to be an humble secretary Of the Y.

Wong Is said to have remarked to hii
Interviewer: "The Canton Times Il
only partial in its fight for constitu
ltionalism as against militarism, fol
right as against wrong. The supreme
test of newspaper is the measure o.
its public service!"
An account of the Canton brawl wa.
related by the reporter who covered
the assignment for the Canton Times
The story was published in the Philip.
pine Free Press, a weekly paper in
Manila. The reporter said:
Threatened the Editor.
II covered the story Of the fracas
for the Canton Times. When I arriv-
ed at the Office that day, Editor-in-
chief Hin Wong told me:
"'Give both sides of the story. You
can have all the space you want
''The story occupied two thirds of
the first page of the Times. and quite
few dailies reproduced it entirely.
Reuter- quoted it at length and flashed
it through China and Japan, besides
its own correspondents report. When
the hotheaded members of the students
read the story, they felt indignant be-
cause the two versions were given.
Friends called on the editor-in-chief
to warn him of the threats of some
of the boys. But nothing could defect
Hin Wong from giving the facts. ia

this regretable incident, he had al
ready warned the students to keep
within the law for, as he told them:
Coercion and force is just as intolera-
BILE when exercised in the name of pa
triotism as when exercised by rank
militarists.'
In his attitude in the matter the
editor showed rare courage and re-
vealed the stun of which he is made.
To go against the students then and
to defy them in their error, was court
ing unpopularity and the risk of being
branded a traitor to the cause.

spite the warning Of the police COM

frain from publishing stories Of the

the editor-in-chief also assumed a
grave responsibility. The other news

about the fracas and hinted that the

missioner of police-an absolutely
malicious insinuation-were ordered
