MR. HU HAN MİN INTERVIEWED

(SPECIAL TO THE "DAILY PRESS")

In a plainly furnished drawing room of one of the many pretty, residences on the mid-levels of Hong Kong, I had the honour and pleasure during the week of spending an interesting hour with one of the leading poli- tical figures of modern China. We discussed many of China's problems and, when my interview came to an"" end, I left with the deep impression that if ever there was a man who could help China, Mr. Hu Han Min was that man.

Military Must Go

It would not do to attempt to unify China by force, nor did the mass pay any attention to politics. If the country were to be unifled. the military system would have to go and the military organisations would have to be subservient to the stvil government. The policy of the country would have to be directed by a civil govern- ment and the military forces of China were to be merely one of the many institutions under the Government.

Reconstruction.

The reconstruction plans are based on Dr. Sun's Three People's Principles, Fundamentals of Na- tional Reconstruction, and⠀ Plans

"When I was mayor of Canton I wanted to build a bridge across the Pearl River: The Municipal Government had no money for that purpose, but I went ahead making the necessary plans for the bridge, and when they were ready, I went about to get the money, and I got it.
