in China and elsewhere throughout
the world. The Chinese know better
than anybody else the gravity of this
hour in their history.
For the first time, I have found a
responsible official with a definite
program for China's> reconstruction
Most patriots merely ask for time
in which the nation may muddle

touch with the most responsible and
liberal elements of his nation. says
that the way out is already known
and will soon be followed. thanks
largely to the work which the pres
ent conference has done in bring
ing China's case to focus, and in
promising her safety solidarity and
sufficient sustenance.
Convention to He Called.
There will be called soon a con-
vention of representatives of all
parts of China, north and south
east and west, to formulate an en-
tirely new government. Both Peking
and Canton will be disregarded. The
existing machinery will be super
seeded by continent assembly of the
whole of China. The groups that
will be taken as units for this pre-
liminary convention will be those
which cover the whole country and
are reasonably free from political al
liances.
They are the chambers of COM
merce, the educational alliance and
the bankers. 1t is believed that they
can construct a truly representative
form of government that will be
ratified by all the people. Before
will of China, we think that both the
Peking and Canton governments will
give way"
Optimistic Views.
I found Chow Tzu Chi looking or
the bright side of the whole Chinese
question. He is confident that the
dominant sentiment of the nation Is
prepared for any internal compromise
future of China. AS an instance, he
said that the government had urged
Mr.. c. c. Wu, son of DR.. Wu Ting
fang of Canton, to become a member
of the Chinese delegation of the con-
ference. Since his own arrival here
place has been offered to Ma 500
who is spokesman in America for Sur
Vat Sen. 1t is not the Peking gov
ernment but the American Depart
ment of State that has refused to
recognize South China for purposes
of this conference. The Cantonese de-
cline. to accept anything unless they
