authorities on China As being the

who will be the strong man of
this greater Gilman 1 think that pos
sibiy IT may be Bal sing-yo. who Is
only 81 years old and tho right-hand
political adviser OF WI Pei-fu. WI is
a fine solder. and Bal has many
other qualities which. I think, stamp
him as one of the great men of China
You have heard nothing Of him In the
United States, but he has been active
In China several years. Some of Wu's
creates, steps have bean taken under
the advice OF Bal.
BAL comes from al ancient family
in h province of Chill, and is a
great scholar. I think that IL Bal
stepped into his room at this mo
ment and we started to question him
about American history we would find
that he knew more about 1t thai we
do. He knows intimately the his.
tory Of his own country for forty
centuries, and those Of the other great
countries OF the world as well.
Although he does not speak or
read English, he knows Japanese and
other languages OF the Far East. He
va educated in China. and 1 be-
lleve that he has one of h great
constructive minds in the Province of
Chilli. and is looking toward
the day when a new China would
smerge as a unified nation. In that
hope I think he is in substantial
agreement with the strong man of
the south. Chen Chiung-ming. who

years old. Before he became a sol

China has many problems 20 solve.
For years she has been subject 20 the
petty war lords who, springing up
he mushrooms, rave ~misgoverned
people by the force OF bandits and

l.r house in order. In this task h
requires the assistance OF the powers

Bpect to the Oriental republic-a
policy, however. which Is not sub

Because China is the greatest neutral

asks now: IF I help myself. Will you
