Dr. Stewart In a masterly way, began by saying that first of al China has now the spirit of national- sm. This been brought abouty by the students of China who have studied China's history and also his- tory and conditions of other coun- tries. Chiffa’s treatment in the way of treaties with other countries has been somewhat unfair and certainly not very Christianlike, and now the Chinese are demanding that the treaties be revised and that they be treated as at present standing as a nation calls. For China has also been exploited by foreign businessmen and labor pe are far from what they should A 6tronk a tor also in China the Bolshevik influence of» Russia and an effort is being made to instil into the Chinese the spirit prevalent in Russia. The students of the coun- try are divided into two classes. One class asks for better conditions through conferences with other na- tions brought about in a peaceful way, but the extremists among the students take the 6tand that the way to set justice is by the machine guns.
