the allies, that We were permitted to
enter into the world war. an oppor-
tunity which filled US with 10Y, be-
cause we hope that We shall now
act with the principal powers of the
earth In the Consideration OF sub
jects which vitality affect the peace
Of the world. and that We may have
restored to US territory originally
leased to Germany.
After the world war the japanese
claimed the right to occupy Shan
tung, our sacred province, the birth
place and the resting place Of Con.
fucius. This seizure was Q plain
violation of our Chinese territory,
and we protested against II az fall
ing entirely out of the German ter
ritory which had been leased.
In short the policy Of Japan
in her treatment Of China in the past
seven years has violated Chinese
sovereignty and territorial integrity
TO such an extent that the indigna-
ion Of her people cries aloud to the
civilized world for redress.
Looking into the future and medi-
tating over the past we are alarmed
lest another world war be brought
about through the problems Of the
CHINA APPRECIATTVE.
China's admission into the COM
pany Of the principal powers Of
the earth for the consideration of
subjects which vitality affect the
peace of the world is a great honor
to her, therefore IL win be noted
with great emphasis and delicacy
that she must fully appreciate this
meeting. In which she casts all ma
tional troubles upon the conferees
and thus makes China the center
Of discussion.
With the participants imbued with
Identical aims and ideals and with
the spirit of friendship and consid.
GRAFTON predominating. great results
may be expected, and let us hope
and pray that this coming confer
ence called by President Harding
may provide means for peaceful set
Element OF all vexing questions.
Since the sentiment between
America and China il so harmonious
and well-defined, we Chinese would
like to remind ourselves to behave
well, and to make it our hearty de-
sire to accord with those Of the
United States. In order, again, to
thank our American friends for their
to mind that the open door"
doctrines, the remission Of the sur
plus of the Boxer indemnity. the
building OF schools and churches,
the famine relief fund. and the con-
ference for disarmament are the
greatest means for progress and
mutual benefits. No country can
do better for our country than Amer
lea has done.
AS to justice, humanity, liberty,
and freedom, there Ia no country to
, compare with America.
Judging the United States of
America by past history, her leader
ship OF the world IL based upon
ideals splendid and magnificent.

appreciation of the United States
