CHIANG TALKS TO STUDENTS
Future Policy Of China
Loyang, Nov. 30 When addressing the students of the Loyang Military Academy yes-
terday, Marshal Chiang Kai-shek referred to two recent happenings. viz: the capture of Palingmiao in Mongolia, and the Japan-German alliance, and is reported to have said in part:
"The capture, of Palingmiao te China's domestic affair. Whereas the Japan German alliance is an international affale, and is con- äldered to be an understanding be..... tween Japan and Germany for mutual co-operation in meeting the danger of Bolshevism.
"The capture of Palingmiao is a evidence of a United China,' a patriotic nation of soldiers and citizens, and proof of the daunt- less courage and heroism of the troops; and further, It is a gua- rantee of the stability and future greatness of China, and means absolute freedom from any loss of territory in the future.
