The Chinese Charge d'Affaires ir
London. addressing a luncheon by the
Rotary Club, spoke of the advantages
obtained by the United States In edu.
eating young Chinese in her colleges and
universities and sending them back tc
China as strong advocates of everything
American.
why can't England do the same
thing that America is doing and induce
more Chinese students to come here?'
he asked.
The benefit would be mutual" he
continued, "and not only would it help
China-the educating of her young men
Tor future development and industrial
enterprises-but it would help Englis,
manufacturers expand their trade in
Chinese markets More manufacturine
plants would be kept busy. there would
be more manual workers and more
people would be returned to work
Therefore it would indirectly help solve
your problem of unemployment.
25O In England. 1000 in America.
There are only about $50 Chinese
students in England. as compared with
more than 1000 studying in American
colleges and universities. This is not
because Chinese students prefer America
to England educationally, but it is be-
cause America provided for Chinese stu
dents both the facilities and the means.
thus inducing them to come to her.
mention, for example, the support OF
Chinese students in America by the
Boxer indemnity fund returned to China
by the American Government.
Other facilities provided for Chinese
students in America followed. Now
American manufacturers are welcoming
Chinese students to learn practical work
in their factories. A number of Amerl-
can firms. particularly those in Pacific
coast cities. are doing business directly
with China and send for young men
from China, support them while they are
taking college courses, allow them to
work in their offices and factories for
the practical experience and then send
! them home to China to work in branch
offices or to act as agents.
Consequently America has won the
warmest good feeling In the hearts OF
! tne tnlneSe people ana she has reaped
untold benefits, as our young men return
| TO China to preach the advantages of
the land they have studied in and where
they have prospered. To-day YOU will
| find thousands OF returned students from
America in China who are familiar with
American business methods. and many
of them have adopted American styles
in machinery in their plants. In short
they are all pro- American
II can tell you this from my own per-
sonal feeling and experience. i was ed
ucated in America. | declare myself
/ 100 per cent. pro-Amercan, although
am now also 100 per cent. pro- English
as well.
American trade in China has in
creased greatly in recent years. partly
because America took advantage Of war
conditions. but largely because OF the
pro-Amercan Chinese advocating the
use of American goods.
China is a great international market
and her door Is wide open-open to the
world in general and to Great Britain
in particular. Your business name
stands high, and you can well keep II
so first. by the excellence OF your stand
ard manufactures secondly. by your
recttude in your dealings. and. finally
by n better and more friendly under
standing of the Chinese. who are great
buyers OF your merchandise.
