My first recollection of Mr. Chen is of ʼn voluble talker with inkstained fingers and long, dis hovelled hair, who at that time 1916-was editing a paper called the Peking Gazette," said Mr. Gullio an interview with a representative of the London Daily Telegraph.

By this time, no doubt he has acquired a gced working knowledge of his own language, which, of course, he could talk in its Cantonese form when I frst met him, but which, it was commonly said, he could not read. His carrer has been a varied and very uncertain one. He does not really step into the picture until 1995 ns Foreign Minister of the Can- tonese Government. "
