Alliance with Germany and the
Russia Intended.
Denial of Bolshevism.
(Our Own Correspondent.)
Shanghai, September 29. . Dr. Sun Yat-sen admits the veracity of the Hongkong Telegraph's" disclosures relative to the proposal to form an Alliance with Germany and Russia.
He says, however, that the letters have been improperly translated and are partly false. He defended himself on the ground that all the Powers except Germany and Russia continued to be aggressive. He cites the relinquishment of extra-territoriality as proof that Germany zod Kussia have shown a favourable attitude fo China,
China's Desire for Equality.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen says that the creation of the the Soviet Government had reinoved China's greatest political menace, so long the Soviet Government continues its non-Imperialistic policy. He says that China's greatest need is assistance from Powers which will treat China as an equal. and believes that Germany and Russia are the only Powers qualified to treat China in that man- uer. He therefore favo irs a conciliatory attitude towards Germany and Russia.
According to Dr. Sun, such a policy will not injure any of the other Powers which honestly desire a re-united China. He states that these are his main consider ations.
Bolshevism Unsuited to China.
Dr. Sun says that epithets accusing him of Bolshevistic views do not injure him and will not deter him. He denies that he has any sympathy with Bolshevism as a principle and says that a correct reading of his letters will prove this beyond doubt. He also says that he may issue an English translation of the letters reproduced in the "Hongkong Telegraphi". He asserts that the "Hongkong Telegraph's" insinuation that the letters reveal a leaning towards Bolshevism is a charge unworthy of an answer, as all intelligent minds will realise that China is politically and economically unsuited to Paistuvism. Dr. Sun* says that he never once dreamed of transformning China into a Bolshevik Republic.
Fruitless Overtures to Foreign Capitalists.
In conclusion, the late President" of the South says that he had made repeated overtures to American, British and other foreign capitalists with a view to arousing their interest in the com mercial development of China, but all were deaf to his suggestions. Hence, he says, he had to turn elsewhere for much-needed co-operation.
