...Moines Student Volunteer Conference was a hoax and, except from the missionary worker's point of view, was an utter failure. There is no use in crying over spilt milk (in this case amounting to several thousand dollars) but it would be well to find out who was at fault in giving our delegation a false impression of the conference, so that we may avoid a repetition of the blunder...
...believe that the Technology delegation was at fault in attending the conference. It was induced to do so by expectations which turned out to be unwarranted. The blame does not rest with the T. C. A. or its officers, for they, too, were apparently misled. But in trying to convince the students that they really did accomplish a great deal, by framing trite resolutions and giving geographical talks, the delegates certainly are in error.

Japan harbors no hatred for the Russian people, but we cannot help instinctively fearing Bolshevism, lest it sweep away the age-old morality on which Japan has been built. I do not conceive of Bolshevism as being entirely bad--the fault is that the ignorant mind takes too literally anything new and striking. When affairs in Russia have settled down we shall be able to judge as to the faults and merits of the system that has been adopted. Today there is no unified Russian mind or opinion...
