Private diary of Robert Dollar on his recent visits to China . ong. Now forManila to compete, these charges must be met. That is as itappears to a shipowner.

There is no nation having a possession like thePhilippines that does not have a regular, fast, direct mailservice. This is a disgrace to us as a nation.

If we ever getinto war,—the day of reckoning will come, and our politicianswill get a rude awakening. Robert Dollar. Ilifiaiillylijyi.
