Sees war Threat
BECAUSE Of China
Minister Senses Danger in Fal
East Situation

Another world war between the
western nations. growing out Of the
unequal treaties in China. was pre-
dicted by the Rev. A. D. Heininger.
who has just returned from that
country. in an address at tho First
congregational church yesterday.
Rev. Mr.. Heininger, who went to
China as a missionary and was prin-
cipal of the Porter Middle school at
Techow. Shantung Province. which
Is maintained under the American
Board of Foreign Missions, minced
no words as he told his hi arers that
the period of outside domination and
foreign meddling in China's Internal
affairs must cease.
Mr.. Heininger was recalled to this
country with other missionaries, by
1.-The American board. He arrived in
New Britain May IS and will become
attached to the local church, sue
ceeding Rev. Warren NJ. Blodgett as
minister Of religious education.
In his talk he said in part:
China must solve her own prob
lens. We cannot solve them for her.
Neither can Britain. Neither can
Japan. Neither can any scheme OF
International control. even could the
nations Of the west ever agree upon
such scheme. The period OF outside
domination, OF foreign meddling in
China's internal~adairs, of special
spheres Of influence. must cease.
Otherwise We can look for no peace
or quietude In the Far East. and we
shall always nave before our vision
the specter OF another and worse
world war growing out Of far-east-
ern complications. Please under
stand. not China against the west.
but an embodiment Of western pow
ers.
"China is not anti-foreign. She is
against what she not improperly
styles .militarism' and imperialism.
She wants to take her proper place
in the family Of nations, on = basis
