Chinese mind, as evidenced n Ma
dame Chang, reached conclusions,
Mrs. Roosevelt said that she her
self might have the same goal and
quite often did, that Madame Chang

Chang, although educated in the
United States, had quite naturally
reverted to the Chinese way Of think
ing when she returned to Chlna
Now Madame Chang was again
in the United States. Mrs. Roosevelt
had seen her in New York and
