THE CHINESE REPUBLIC:
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION IN LONDON.
CHINESE DIPLOMAT. ON THE SINO-
SOVIET DISPUTE.
The Central Union of Chinese Students in Great Britain and Ireland celebrated the anniversary of the Chinese Republic on October 10. The gathering took the form of a reception and luncheon at the Criterion Restaurant, Piccadilly Circus. and included, besides the students, number of notable guests, among whom were the Rt. Hon. George Lansbury, M.P., First Commis- sioner of Works; Dr. W. C. Chen, the Chinese Chargé d'Affaires and Mrs. Chen; H.R.H. Prince Chula of Siam; Mrs. Bertrand Russell; the Mayor and Mayoress of Kingston-on-Thames; Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Cox; Mr. Chang Kai Ngau, Governor of the Bank of China, and Mr. Chan Kuang Pu, manager of the Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank and ́s Director of the Bank of China.
Mr. S. Sze, President of the Union, who received the guests, and presided at the luncheon, proved in excellent host.

There had been so many criticisms by the English journals printed in "China that the Chinese people seemed to be afraid of them. Not only did they criticise every day affairs, but they criticised and commented unfavourably about the Government. If he, Dr. Chen, turned the tables and saw 60111 Chinese running newspapers in London daily and hourly almost criticising the British Government,
he would like to know from Mr. Lansbury what the Government would do? (Laughter.) Hebe lieved Scotland Yard would soon get to know about it. (Laughter.) Therefore, due to this fact, he ap. pealed to the Press to he not to eay favourable in commenting upon things Chinese, but to be true to facts. The Chinee did not want Favours, but they would like to have the truth old. He thought he was voicing the sentiments of all present when because of the Press holding a unique power in the moulding of opinion, he craved for fair treatment.

They were all glad that Dr. and Mrs. Chen would not be leaving for another diplomatic post outside Great Bri- tain, but instead they offered him their heartiest congratulations on his promotion to the rank of Coun- sellor of the Legation in London.
