THE CHINA MAIL, DECEMBER 23, 1938
CHINA APPROACHES NEW
YEAR WITH CONFIDENCE QUEEN'S
London, To-day.

The reasons for supporting China became daily more formidable, he said, through Japanese depredations on British interests.
The United States, by granting China credit bor- rowing facilities, underlined the spirit of fin- ancial co-operation by saying that this may well be only the beginning.
