CHINESE NATURE
IS NOT CHANGED

Shanghai April II LPl-Foreign-
RS may never fully regain the sta
tus they held in China before the
present unrest started, in the opin-
ion OF Sterling Fessonden, chairman
of the Shanghai municipal council.
Sees Long Fight Ahead
Mr.. Fessenden, who was born in
the state OF Maine, but has spent %
years here, predicts that the present
military struggle in China may con-
tnue for number of years, depend
ing on whether some powerful lead
er arises who can command the re-
spect or fear of the Chinese people.
The economic disturbance may not
abate for many years.
Americans have been fooling
themselves for a long time regarding
China, Mr.. Fessenden told the Asso-
ciated Press today. The result is
that now they have found thcm-
selves in the same boat as the other
foreigners.
see Through Deception
He said this deception applied
both to business men and mission
aries. The former have been believ-
ing that their treatment of the
Chinese as equals, socially and COM
1,arcially endeared them to the
Chinese to u greater extent than the
more aloof Britishers. However,
continued Fessenden, the Chinese
have discovered that the Americans,
ike the British and other foreign
IT'S. aim to get the business. Their
methods merely are different
Missionaries Deludcd Too
The missionaries have deluded
themselves, according to Fessenden,
ty believing that the doctrines of
their religion have penetrated and
permeated Chinese character.
Fessenden expressed the belief
