with foreign powers is the first
essential to the restoration of
normal conditions in China, r. X.
Ching, spokesmen for Chinese Ma
tionalists, declared here today.
The mission, headed by General
Hsu shung Chi Chou Lou. former
president OF the National University
at Canton, and other prominent
Chinese, Is in Washington to con
vince this government Of the stabil-
ity and soundness Of NationaIistic
policies. The mission looks to
American public sentiment for aid
in its fight for freedom from for
eign exploitation.
Ching made a plea for termination
Of foreign bondage for his country.
He declared the treaties, forced on
China 80 years ago, were aimed at
economic exploitation and that only
their cancellation can place China
in q position to work out its own
salvation.
'Hostilities In China will be ended
soon, provided foreign interference
with the Nationalist movement does
not take place" Ching said, Great
progress has been made in unifica-
ton and now ia Of the is provinces
are controlled by the Marking or
Nationalist government.
Ching compared the internal
troubles OF China to the American

those in Mexico. The conflict is
between the conservative faction,
represented by the Peking govern
ment and the progressives, repre-
scented by the Marking regime.
