to Peking this time, he was but revisiting old scenes. He made a brief stop in Manchuria on his way to the capital and was much impressed by the progress which the Three Eastern Provinces had made during recent years, for which the local Chinese author- ities deserved great credit.
After referring to the efforts of the Peking Government to bring order out of chaos, the speaker voiced the hope that a united and strong government would be soon established in China so that peace might resign throughout this: country. His duties as Governor of Hong Kong brought him into contact with Canton, and he cher- ished the same hope that the Canton leaders would soon succeed in restoring peace and order in their own territory.
In extending an official welcome
to Sir Cecil, Premier Pan Fu said:
