BINGHAM IN REPLY
 ID GENERAL CHANG
Senator Doesn't Believe Latter
 Will Achieve Ambition

1 New Haven, Conn, Oct % CUP) ---Establishment of strong regional i govcrnments is Chna's only hope Of salvation. Senator Hiram Bingham told the United Press today.
 Senator Binghams statement was
 made in reply to an interview Chang Tso-Lir. "Manchurian war lord,' gave Karl 4. Bickel, president of the United Press, at Picking.
 Chang flatly refused to consider the regional government suggestion that Senator Bingham had made after a visit to China.
 "1 hardly expected" said Senator Bingham, that Chang Tso-Lin 1 would welcome my proposal with open arms. He is endeavoring to conquer China: and from all reports he still is optimistic regarding his ability to do so.
 But l do not believe Chang will eyer achieve his ambition. Chang is q northerncr and uses northern methods of transportation.
 'l observed in China last summer that the northern troops use wheels for transportation. Dumpcarts and wagons were in vogue to carry sol diers.
 Tn the south I saw soldiers ad- Vancing into battle through ricefclds sometime in water up to their waists. X northcrner could not do it.
 Reasons like that convince me that one man can not conquer all China
 'Ihe northern army speaks a diff ferent tongue from the southern. It IS the same as one foreign country attacking another. Southern Chinese would rise up in mass against the slightest inroad from northerners.
 T repeat that Chinas salvation lies in the establishment Of strong regional governments and that this country and other nations should recognize those governments as soon as their stability warrants it.
 ''l greatly enjoyed an interview I had with Chang Tso-Lin last sum mcr, and l came 10 respect him and the work. he is doing.
 Chang is affording strong protec- tion 10 foreign interests in Peking and throughout northern China.
 His army, which l inspected. I found to be a group of strong. de tcrmined men. Chang Tso-Lin's generals are capable men, and he himself is clever.
 T did not for one minute believe that my proposal of regional gov crnments would be taken up by the Chinese. Each of the Chinese lead CTS is under the delusion that he is appointed by fate to lead China out of the wilderness as her savior and cOnqueror.
 But such a thing is impossible 1 not only because of the different 1 methods of transportation and char acter Of the terrain, but because l few people are able to understand i all Chinese in their different dia- lects."
