Winning Over the Orient by Brockman at Washington Club
Fletcher S Brockman national YMCA secretary for China Korea and Hongkong told Washington association members yesterday that Buddhism and Brahmanism are dying in the East and new modernism and paganism are advancing. He said missionaries have driven out ancient evils and that the new Orient embraces American ideas in religion and business, noting 16 000 high class Chinese students in Tokyo and future seeds of Christianity. Vanity sown by the missionaries was the subtext as Brockman spoke during a dinner honoring John E B Sleman Jr who was re elected president of the Twenty four hour a day Club.
