And Notre Dame right now Is not in a position to lose many more. We are not as well fixed for material as many others .

Policy Has Been to Keep China Under Friendly Rulers By Wright A. Patterson 100 YEARS the FOR NEARLY foreign policy of the United States as applied to the far east, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, was to recognize and support whatever was the established government of China, whether it was good or bad. We considered it the government of the Chinese people. That was true of the decidedly bad government of the old dowager empress, and we assisted in her defense against the Boxer uprising, for which we did not ask and, in fact, refused to accept any compensation when offered. When Japan invaded Man- churia, President Iloover urgently appealed to the League of Nations for protection against the aggression. Because of the Inability of the League to provide a force for such a purpose, that appeal was in vain. We loudly proclaimed the Atlantic Charter and at Casa Blanca assured China that under its provisions we would see that Manchuria was returned to her at the close of the war with by Gen. Weide-meye- r. President Truman asking that he Investigate and report. That report, whatever it may have been, is buried in the files of the state department, and the American people have not been permitted to know Its was ''followed content. China with a population of some represents several times the population of Russia. In both man power and natural resources, she has a tremendous war potential. The efforts of the state department of the past have been to prevent that war potential from falling into the hands of what might prove an enemy of the United States. Either through errors in judgment, or by intent, It would seem the present state department has done much to accomplish what its predecessors worked many years to pre700,000,000 vent. Congress has appropriated considerable sums to assist the Chiang government. Through the activities of the state department, much of such appropriation failed to reach Chiang.
