Dr. Schurman Speaks

The American Minister to the Chinese Republic, Mr. Jacob Gould Schurman, formerly President of Cornell, delivered a smarting attack on the instability of the Government at a Washington's Birthday dinner held in Peking.

He declared that China was more divided than ever; that she had made no progress toward financial recovery; that, while demobilization of troops had been promised, recruiting went on actively. He considered China solvent and capable of discharging her financial obligations.
