President of the Executive Yuan and Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs-China United Press, Shanghai.. Price: $4.50

Everybody who is at all interested In China should make an effort to understand the Chinese viewpoint on issues of na- tional and international importance. Even if to know all does not necessarily mean to forgive all (as the French say it does), it is very important to reta correct understanding of main principles before being in a position to pass Intelligent Judgment upon practice. In most countries it is possible for an Interested foreign observer "to ret 3 full and "fairly accurate idea of national policy from the speeches made by responsible statesmen in the Legislative Chambers or on other occasions for public déclarations of polley. In China, as yet, opportunities for expounding the Government's policy and national aspirations are not available, but in this collection of essays by Mr. Wang Ching-Wei (who holds a position which may be likened to that of Prime Minister), the reader will find an admirable and authoritative exposition of Chinese policy which for the first time gives to foreigners resident or interested in the Republic a clear idea of the general aims and ambitions of the National Government.
