DEMOCRACY AND UNITY
ISSUES REMARKABLE MANIFESTO
(Special to "Telegraph".)
Peking, Nov. 9, Marshal Feng Yu-hslang has followed up his recent telegrams to Mr. Lo Wen-kan, the Nan- king Foreign Minister, with a notable four-thousand-word message to the Nation.
The "Christian" General, who before has indicated the posacasion of constructive Ideas, urges, among other things, the establishment of a really united government, tho in- troduction of democracy, and the undertaking of constructive enter prises for the improvement of com- munications òtc.
Further fnctional warfare, he anys, will only hasten the extinction of China.
FREEDOM AND EQUALITY.
If Chiria wants freedom and equality among nations she must, Fong declares, reorganise her anti- Imperialist front on the one hand and enforce. her revolutionary diplomacy on the other.
Feng also suggests the erection of a high turf wall within which would be employed the national capital for the development of pro- duction and the elevation of the genoral standard of living among the people..
Only in this way, he concludes, fean China escape dismemberment and international control.-Reuter.
