...concluded with his feeling on the duty of the United States toward China. "I think there is very serious danger at the present time that the people of America may be moved by an undue prejudice against Japan, but friendliness to China must not imply animosity toward Japan. The real interests of Japan as well as of China require a policy of neutral helpfulness between the two countries and it should be the aim of America to act as the friend of both countries and to promote this policy...
...effective and striking scenery, suggestive costuming, and originality of staging, the performance of "Erasmus Montanus" was something of a triumph.

...incongruous mass together, no inconsiderable part was played by the forces from without that rushed them together under the meaningless formula 'Bolshevik.' The agitators have generally shown more cleverness in making use of this apparent solidarity than the forces of law and order have in depending upon the very real lack of solidarity that a bit of analysis might readily reveal...
