STATESMANLIKE SPEECH TO KUOMINTANG

JAPANESE SATISFACTION

Shanghai, To-day. Evidence that the Chinese Government will follow a policy of non-interference in North- China is seen by most observers in the speech of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to the Knomin- tang Congress at Nanking One British commen- tator, interviewed by Reuter, said: “Chiang re- mains true to his programme of peaceably con serving and building up the national strength until China can face the world with a bold front.”

Japanese official circles hail the speech as a “statesmanlike utterance," drawing attention particularly to the passage: "We shall not talk lightly of sacrife until we are driven to the last ex- tremity which makes sacrifics inevitable.”

They also welcome the gesture towards Japan contained în the phrase: "Our neighbour particularly should be deeply con- cerned in the peace of the Orient and the common good of Chins and Japan. What we seek is simply self-preservation and co-
