ABSTRACT
HA VING concluded roundly, let us conclude squarely, with a concluding conclusion.
The race was not to the Swift and the course was not a circle. In the China of May Fourth, which nurtured the communist movement, one could resent foreign political pressure and yet be far from traditional anti-foreignism (which could never harmonize with a May Fourth cultural self-indictment). And there is a corollary: in the China of May Fourth one could resent foreign cultural pressure-that is, resent the antiConfucian 'new youth', with its 'Mr. Science' and 'Mr. Democracy' and all the rest-and yet be far from traditional Confucianism.
