Success OF this bold experiment in

the answer to these questions More
depends on the prime minister's per-

If he has the clearness of vision,
the judgment, the tact, the f1rmness

the ministry will succeed. I dare not
predict, for I do not know enough of
him to be able to form an opinion.
The question is asked, here and
abroad, why the Liberals gave the
vote which placed a Socialist govern
ment in power. The answer is three
fold:
1. They felt that the existing gov
eminent, by their nervelessness and
maladroitness, were mismanaging In
ternational affairs so badly that the
peril to world peace was increasing
every hour they remained in office.
2. As a Socialist government could

LETTER INDICATES
MINISTER'S SON
IN CHINA IS SAFE
Peterson Arrives Five Weeks
After Capture of Mission
aries, 1t Shows,

Belief in the safety OF eight mis-
sionaries who were on their way to
Batang, China, when a number Of
other missionaries were captured was
strengthened today with the receipt
of a letter by the Rev E. NJ. Peter
son, 1881 Elm St, from his son, r. A.
Peterson, a member of the expedition
going to Batang.
The letter was written at Yunnan
Flu, Dec Is. about three weeks before
the~ capture. Yunnan Flu is about
eight weeks journey from Batang, so
that Peterson probably arrived at Ba-
tang five weeks after the capture.
Peterson was accompanied by his wife
and two children.
I'VE have made the children Chi
nese clothes for the trip" the letter
said. Also we have pukhais which
are like comforts. They are used to
sleep on and cover with on the road
At the Chinese inns they do not fur
nish bedding, so we carry our own
cots and bedclothes.

The Rev. Peterson also received

The Journey to Batang, according %
this letter was TO be made on horse

Financial Exchange
The letter described the compiled
tons Of financial exchange.
I'VE have had some interesting fl
nanciaI business" IT said. First we
brought checks from the States which
we deposited in the Bank Of Shang-
hal. The exchange there was about
1877. which gave US S197 for every
500. At Hongkong it was necessary
for us to have several thousand dol
lars. and it was obtained at loss Of

THE money at Tonkin was about
on a par with Hopgkong. At Yum
