continuously, and consistently and faithfully used, bring a
money-loving nation, like Japan to her knees, and send her
finally, scurrying like a whipped cur, with her tail between
her legs back home where she belongs.

I talked with a ragged Chinese boy through an interpreter just to find
what his reactions to the Japanese were. He was a beggar. He said, "The
Japanese has a heart like a dog and a liver like a wolf."

I quote again from the editorial in the Peking _Leader_:

All day I have been on the streets of Peking listening to
groups of students discussing the all absorbing-question of
the Boycott. I have not understood the characters printed on
their banners, but I have understood the light in Young China's
eyes. I can understand that language and that light, for it is
the language and the light of freedom, justice, liberty! I am
an American. I understand that light when I see it; and I know
also; that it is a light that can never be snuffed out. It is a
light that prison walls cannot hide and that the brute hand of
the invader cannot dim.

"And what are they protesting against?" is the question asked.

Primarily against the Japanese control of Shantung. Secondarily,
against a type of civilization which Japan represents; a civilization
that uses the weapons of frightfulness to accomplish its ends; a
civilization that steals a nation like Korea, compelling the abdication
of a weak Emperor at the point of the bayonet; and then using the avowed
method of extermination to deplete a subjected nation. The whole Orient
knows Japan and knows the methods that Japan has used and is using in
conquered territory. It is a continuous and continual policy of
extermination, frightfulness, and assimilation. This is the underlying
cause of the hatred of the whole Orient and the Far and Near East
against Japan; and this is the fundamental reason for the Students'
Boycott of Japanese goods in China.

One might devote an entire book to narrations of frightful cruelties
perpetrated by Japanese on Koreans, Siberians and Formosans; but that
would not be so strong as the setting forth of the underlying ethical
reasons for this universal hatred in which Japan is held.

However it might be quite honest and fair for this writer to set down
here several acts of frightfulness that came under his own personal
observation merely as casual illustrations of that which is going on all
the
