Distinguish Relevant Information What argument does Colonel Ingersoll offer to support his position that the United States should maintain a friendly relationship with China?

His support mostly comes for economic reasons. He states that it would be detrimental to lose trade with China which constitutes a quarter of the human race just because of prejudice. He adds that they lost trade with Africa and the Caribbeans because of it and that they should not add other parts of the world to that list.
