ADDRESS 



"What's Happening in China" 



UPTON CLOSE 



UPTON CLOSE, whose real iianif is .losuf WasliiiiK- 

 toii JI.'ill, is tile outslaiiding Amcrieaii authority on 

 Asia. His lil'e has been packed to tile brim witli niovc- 

 nient and experience. Ten of his most formative years 

 were spent in Cliina, wliere he went first as a news- 

 paper correspondent. From 191fi to 1919 he was investi- 

 gatini,' olficor tor Ihe United States Government in 

 Slianhins; diirini; tlie .Japanese invasion. Subsequently, 

 dnrin.n' (Ir. lie\ oliiliou of 1919, he was adviser to the 

 Chinese Slii.leuts and became Cliief of Foreign Affairs 

 ^Ur>^>) under \Vu Pei-Fii. .Tohn Driuliwatcr has de- 

 clared liis life "tlie most amazingly adventurous" with 

 wliicli lie ever liad contact. It was not, however, on 

 mere ad\enlurc bent that Upton Close, during the past 

 few .\ears, lias travelled three times to China, encircling 

 the globe on each tri]). He sees the existing situation 

 in its relations with India, Japan and Soviet Russia; 

 as part, in a word, of the great far-eastern question 

 vvliicli he has discussed with such i-are scholarship in 

 his book, "The Revolt of Asia." "What's Happening in 

 China," he further maintains, aiTeets us in America 

 much more vitally than we tliink. Not only our in- 

 vestments are lieing tlircatciicd, but tlie rights of a 

 white minority are being challenged by a yellow and 

 brown ma.inrity.
