Colourful Stories

Of China

China's present plight is both tragic and ironic, and Lady Hosie, one of the best- known English champions,

cannot perhaps be blamed if the tone of her latest book, "Brave New China," ext- phasizes a little the sentimen- tal side. In outline, her book is the account of a journey she made from south to north and east to west of China, be- rinning in the summer of 1936 · and ending shortly before the outbreak of hostilities with Japan.

From the nature of her past connections with China-through her father, misdonary and Chi- nese scholar, and her husband. in the British consular service the halting points of her travels were educationai institutions official headquarters, both Chinese and British, missions, and the homes of Chinese intellectuals.

Buch a social circle brought her. into touch with most of the schemes for a new and better China, not only in the major cities of Nanking. Peking, Shang- hal. and Canton but 10 back- ward towns in the Interior in which the primary civilizing task of the New Life Movement was the installation of a water sup- ply and the condemnation of in- terior cesspools
