Peking telegram No.46 to Canton repeated to Foreign

Office as telegram No.580.

In an interview given to the Far Eastern Manager of

Reuters a few days ago at Canton Chiang Kai-shek stated

that it was his life-long ambition to promote a relation-

ship of true and lasting friendship between Great Britain

and China. Now more than at any previous time in history

of Sino-British relations this ambition was conditioned on

circumstances entirely favourable to its fulfilment.

Repeated to Peking.
