Shanghai, June 27.

Dr. Wang Chung-hui, the noted Chinese jurist and former judge at the permanent World Court, today called on Great Britain and the United States to intervene to bring about "a rational and just solution of all issues between China and Soviet Russia." In an interview with the semi-official Central News, Dr. Wang, echoing Dr. Sun Fo's recent charges against Russia, said that China, who has thus far fully conformed with the letter and the spirit of the Sino-Soviet treaty, has every right to ask Russia to do the same.
