ship with China during the coming years. War was regarded
as most unlikely.
The same evening a missionary talked to more I.a Grande
people and told also of China today, expressing the opinion
that war between that country and America was most likely
within the next fifty years. An entirely different picture of
China was painted and not a pleasant one to contemplate
in many aspects.
Thus we have two views, both presented l.y men of 'long
residence in the Orient and years of experience with the
Chinese. Kither one might be right; neither of the pre
dictions made is impossible. We are inclined, however, to
tho belief that war with China is most unlikely. Jloth China
and America would have too much to lose; both nations are
controlled by men of too much vision and education to per
mit the foimulalion of a policy that would lead to war. Our
friendship with China will grow, not diminish. We have no
selfish motives other than legitimate international trade. We
