He was the picture Of sedate middle

He gazed long and longlngly at the

He entered the lobby,
He came out again.
He was met by an equally sedate

"Why, my dear, ! thought II was the

AS they started away, the man drew
something from his pocket and

Chinese Editor Says u. S.
Merchants Are Welcome
Declares Chinese Would Rather
Pay Americans Double Price
Than BUY in japan

P. X. Chu, editor of The Shanghai
Chinese Daily News, who arrived here
few days ago for an extensive bust
ness trip, said yesterday that China is
wide open to American business men
who want trade.
He said that Japan was his country's
greatest enemy and that the latter
country has agents in this country
spreading anti-Chinese propaganda.
China. he said, would rather pay Amer
leans $40 for a piece of merchandise
than buy it from the Japanese for half
that sum.
Mr.. Chu declared that Japan intends
to obtain control Of the PHILIPPINE Isl
ands in the not far distant future, and
cited the presence in those islands of
retired Japanese soldiers now working
as laborers but who would be ready to
fight should the official order be
sounded.
He said that the most indefatigable
press agents for the United States in
China are the Chinese students who
have been educated in American uni
versities. They are the ones, he de-
clared, who have created the feeling
of good will in China toward this
