Sir,--Fortunately for mankind and civilization' the present fight- ing in North China has revealed to the World the sterling qualities of the God-fearing and Peace- loving Chinese nation.

As the time has come to stop war and aggression, I recall that that fifty years ago in 1887, when I returned

and from Australia started to organize the Chinese Revolution and the movement for Reform and Indendence and open the way for my old friend and colleague, the late Dr. Sun Yat- sen and his followers of the Kuo Min Tang Party with the help of
