CHINA AND WAR
Sir Douglas Haig's starting referencë to the Far East is the part of the world where the real peril of a new war lies has The streets of the West End, especially been widely discussed in the Press here. the great shopping centres, were never so The subject is the text of an interview crowded as they are in these gracious which the Paris correspondent of the days of "early Sammer.

Conference.
Mr. Wong declares bigself strongly impressed that Sir Douglas Haig, the
commander of great' armies." should direct attention to the spiritual and moral forces that will direct the future. Bé also stated
When Sir Douglas spoke of the British Empire as being based on idealism he expressed a truth with which I agree that an Empire will die if its idealism does. His conception of levelling up the standard of life and of civilisation in the Far East is one with which I also agree heartily. The Kaiser's conception of policy in the Far East was entirely contrary. His
view was to strike with the mailed fist that it was the duty of Europe to exploit the East for the advantage of the white people.
The whole point is that if the four hundred millions of Chinese are to be forced to fight for their existence there will be a terrible war between the white
peoples and, the Chinese. But the Chinese do not believe in war: they believe in moral forces to build up a "civilisation
We A higher order. younger, men in China are doing our best to convince" China 'to go against militarism and develop on, democratie lines. We are firmly convinced that the nations can adjust their differences through a right conception of the re lation between nation and nation, and through the supremacy of international law over violence and physical force. In our effort to establish a true demo cracy in China we are convinced that an effective way of realising our objective is to bring Christianity to the "Chinese people.
In that endeavour we have been very successful, especially in the last decade. A large number of influential men of the educated classes have become Christinna. I can give three instances of the different kinds of men. There is
