Col. gen. D. j. Wudan, leader of the
Chinese Nationalist party in Hawaii.
leaves on the Tenyo Maru this after
noon for Shanghai, where he will es-
tablish a newspaper. Accompanying
him will be Young Cat, q member di
the state assembly in Canton, and one
of the earnest workers for q true re-
public in China.
In leaving Hawaii leave friend, .
said Gen. Wudan this afternoon. I
believe that Hawaii is the most peace
full spot in the world, and on my re-
turn to China / will work to have Ho-
nolulu established as permanent
center for the Worlds Peace Confer
ence. 1t shall be one Of my aims to.
induce China to work for Honolulu as
the true center OF the peace of the
world.
Hawaii has every advantage in this
respect over The Hague, as here the
peoples Of the world live in harmony,
and travellers from all corners of the
world have commented upon the man,
ner in which the races enjoy life in
the Paradise of the Pacific. While IN
Toxic will take this question up with
the leading peace advocates.
Although regret to leave Hawaii,
i will do my best to bring the islands
to the notice Of the people of the
Orient. l imagine that In the publica
ton of news shall have tendency
toward featuring things Hawaiian.
..sThe Chinese living in Hawaii are
the best educated of that race IN the
world. The people here have. grown
to understand the Chinese As IN NO
other sections Of America, and 1T is to-
Hawaii that the Chinese people are
looking for the liberal policies that
must come to the people of the great
republic in Asia.
i'I hope that the United States will
be more liberal in their laws toward
the Chinese. The immigration law Al
the present time is an injury to the
best interests of the two countries.
and If the people on the mainland
knew the Chinese as you do in Har
wall, that question would never have
to be discussed.
at is the sentiment in China that
the war is about over, and instead OF
la battle of bullets we will have bat.
tie of ballots. If the two factions can
be united, and / sincerely hope they
will, then China will take one more
step in advance.
MY newspaper will be primarily to
unite the opposing factions in China.
That Is certain to be the policy, which
is aligned with policy OF peace.
There is a growing feeling among the
diplomats OF the world that when the
European war is over the next
big conflict viii be N the Orient, and
we must all begin now to work for
peace before the slumbering Goals are
afire
This will be q big question after
European conflict, and as Hawaii is
the home Of peace, the people living
in the Paradise of the Pacific can real
ly look to have the name inscribed
among the diplomats OF the Orient as
The Isles Of Peace
His Career Of Ups and Downs.
Col.-gen. Wudan came to Hawaii vir.
tually as fugitive from justice with a
price on his head, having opposed
the inexorable Yuan Sliih-Kai govern
ment. He preached liberty and de-
mocracy from the start here A few
months ago he was charged by the
United States government with being
an anarchist and the case attracted In
ternational note The examinations
were held here and the authorities in
washington after consideration
cleared him of the charges. Meanwhile
Yuan was falling and Wudan's former
activities for the republic brought him
again high in Nationalist councils.
