China government have gone to Can. ton in the interest of unified China" said Dr. Eugene Chen, secretary of Dr. Sun Vat Sen, president of South China. in setting forth, through Inter- national News Service, the objectives of the revolutionary movement
 "This explains the politics of the expedition which the south is sending forth to battle with the foes of the Republic in the Wu-Han center"
 The Wu-Han center of China is the district around Hankow. the commer- cial center of the Hu-peh province. directly across the Yangtze from Han kow is Wuchang, the capital of Hu- peh and the city which Dr. Sun hopes to make the seat of the Southern gov ernment instead of Canton. Wu-Han is now held by WuPei-Fu, military chieftain, who is hostile to both Chi. nese governments.
 We see the problem in three terms" " said Dr. Chen.
 First political unification is an i'm. l mediate necessity if China is to be saved from the gravest consequences of Mandarin misgovernment. UNlFlcATloN BLOCKED Second, unificatiol, however. is l impossible unless there is an end to the state of things prevailing in Pek- ing, where government is carried on frankly in violation of the organic law. of the land. No one denies that Picking has ceased, in reality, to be governing body and that 1t contin- ues in being simply because the for eign powers recognize it as the gov ernment of China.
 Third. at Canton we have a con 1 additionally organized government whose authority is recognized by the 1 great block of southwest provinces Kwangtung, Kwangsi, Yunnan. Kwei- chow and Szechuen.

 "It was hoped to effect this change in the seat of the government from Canton to one of the Wu-Hun cities before the opening of the Washington conference
 HOW CONFERENCE WAS VIEWED
 "We considered the main assump- tion of the Washington conference to be that of armaments. unless arrest ed or limited, might end in creation of conditions likely to break modern so- ciety in its existing political and eco homie forms. This possible upheaval we inferred, might be the result of tax ation becoming so burdensome in order to met the cost of ornaments that people would have to choose be- tween greatly reduced standard of living and revolt against this sys- tenn of pauperization of national life. question of armaments was changing | from a concept of war as between na- | tions to destructive concept directed against modern civilization in its tra- ditional and characteristic features. 1 "We held and we hold still that a limitation of armaments is imprac- ticable unless the Pacifci question can be settled in the sense of an open sea in which the existing status quo shall continue relatively unchanged instead of Japanese sea in which the status quo shall be fundamentally changed. And such solution of the Pacific question depends on right and per manent solution of the Chinese ques- tion.
 Japan frankly claims that her ter ritorial expansion Is national ne- l ceSSity in order to sec,,re room for har surplus population.
