Attached is the review of J.O.P. Bland’s “China: The Pity of It” which was written by Henry Kittredge Norton:
“Mr. Bland (1863 – 1945) has known his China for a third of a century and he is convinced that if that unhappy country has moved at all in the last three decades, it has moved backwards…Without relieving the Chinese of their share of the responsibility in the premises, the half-baked liberalism of the west – by which is meant Great Britain and the United States for the most part -is found to be the chief cause of expanding disaster in China…”
