Inasmuch As The Cardinal Rule Of Democrats Is To Never Criticize A Fellow Democrat Particularly A President Victorious In War Reinsch And Wilson'S Support Of Japanese Territorial Acquisition In China Is Largely Ignored By Modern Historians Making American Understanding Of Modern Chinese Attitudes Problematic.
