Stable Japan
Good For China?
Nanking, Feb. 8.
Chu Shih-ming, former chief of the Chinese mis- sion to Japan, today urged the Chinese to support the proposed American programme for the rehabilitation of Japan asserting "a prosperous, peaceful and stable Japan will be beneficial to China.”
Chu said a rehabilitated Japan will not be an eco- nomic menace to China because she cannot regain her pre-war economic position without Chinese raw materials.
Chao, a stacky former Chinese Air Force Major, was unable to talk about his experiences. The airline told him not to.
