Two white men who had not been In China met in Quebec. and there in North America. in the Western Hemisphere. and without a single Asiatic present. they announced that they had come to settle the fate of Asia. where live onehalf of all the people in the world. Was that calculated to increase Chinese confidence and morale? Why should they fight for white mens schemes?
