General Chiang has just returned from Europe, where he was sent by the Chinese Government as special envoy as soon as the Sino-Japanese hostilities broke out last year.
Commenting on Hankow's foreign polley, General Chiang said that Mr. Chamberlain is known as a realist, but Britain's superiority lies not in her ability to deal with the Im- mediate situntion, but in facing the future.
