WUDAN TO WORK
For HAWAIIAS

RevolutioniSt General and Edi-
tor May Rank High IN
New Republic

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-
HtabIish 4 newspaper. Acconlp ring
him will be Young Cat, q member b
the state assembly in Canton, and one
of the earnest workers for true re-
public In China.
In leaving Hawaii leave friend,
said Gen. Wudan this afternoon. 4
believe that Hawaii is the most peace
fui spot IN the world. and on my re-
turn to China | will work to have Ho-
noIulu established as permanent
center for the Worlds Peace Confer
ence. It 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 win 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. I imagine that in the publica;
tion Of news / shall have q tendency
toward featuring things Hawaiian.
THE 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 section of America, and It 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.
'T 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 Ha.
waif, that question would never have
to be discussed.
"It Is the sentiment In China that
the war is about over. and instead OF
battle of bullets we will have a bat
tie of ballots II the two factions can
be united, and sincerely hope they
will, then China viii 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 growing feeling among the
diplomats of the world that when the
European war is over the next
big conflict will be IN the Orient, and
we must all begin now to work for
peace before the slumbering Goals are
afire.
This viii be a big question after
European conflict, anu as Hawaii is
the home OF peace, the people living
in the PARADISE of the Pacific can real
~ look to have the name inscribed
among the diplomats of the Orient as
The Isles of Peace. 8"
His Career Of Ups and Downs.
Col gen. Wudan came to Hawaii yir-
tually as a fugitive from justice with q
price on his head, having opposed
the inexorabIe Yuan Shih-Kai govern
ment. He preached liberty and de.
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
note. The examinations
were held here and the authorities in
after consideration
cleared him Of the charges. Meanwhile
Yuan was falling and Wudan's former
activities for the republic brought him
gain high in Nationalist councils.
