Passengers in Panic
The Nowarat was approaching the bend on the inner side in still water when the Nat Thai was ask ed by one of the passengers to
cross over to the other side to en- able him to land; the Nal Thai immediately put over his helm and made for the other side. On en countering the swift current and the broken water the launch heel- ed over alightly, and the passeng- ers being alarmed, dashed to the other side. The launch then heel ed over in the opposite direction and shipped some water.

Of 3,000 Aeroplanes
Nanking, August 29.-In an eluci- dation of the Government's foreign" policy, Mr. Wang Ching Wel' to- day said:
"It is said that, if we could build a fleet of 3,000 aeroplanes, we could avenge our wrongs. This is idle talk, for we have not so many aeroplanes at the present moment. and will others calmly allow us to Grain a force of 3,000 planes? What If we find that others have 4,000 or 5,000 planes after we have got our -3,000?"
Mr. Wang then alluded to an old saying: "If we harbour a scheme against another, it is dangerous to let it be known." For China to ally herself with or seek assistance from any other country was out of the question. It was only when they could preserve their own existence that there could be co- existence.

The fact that China heeded outside assistance showed that her ailment had not Improved,
