ENVOY TO CHINA Direct Appeal To The People
INTELLECTUALS URGED TO LEAD MASSES
Nanking, Feb. 19.
The American Ambassador, Dr. Leighton Stuart, in an unprecedented direct appeal to the Chin- ese people, today attacked both "extreme reactionaries and extreme radicals" in China. He called for the elimination of corrupt and incompetent elements in the present National Government.
In the strongest statement ever, issued by the present American Ambassador. Dr. Stuart charged both the reactionaries and radicals with placing "their partisan or individual in- terests far above those of the suffering people." He urged Chinese students and in- tellectuals to lead the "common people" in movement to reform the Chinese Govern- ment.

MISSION TO CHINA
London, Feb. 19.
The report of the British Trade Mission to China, headed by Sir Leslie Boyce in 1947, contains more than 200 pages with a detailed analysis of the political and economic conditions in China which may affect Anglo-Chinese trade relations.
According to the report, the Mission during its
visit was impressed by the indigenous wealth of the country, particularly in agriculture and by the industrious and patient character of its people and by their will to live and their ability to overcome adversity.

Sydney, Feb. 19.
Mr. Gilbert Harriman, former Vice-Chair- man of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, today predicted a tremendous shift of British capital from Hong Kong to Australia.
Declaring that he was already transferring his own interests, Mr. Harriman added: "Aus- tralia is a very secure country and the Australian pound is, to take the long view, very sound.
"People in the Far East are beginning to realise this. In this respect, it includes both
