لم اکرم گیان

It expresses "the profound ad- nitrasion we have for you, Sir, the head and front of the gallant re- sistance which the Chinese people are making to the invaders of your country and the enemies of vor freedom," and continues:—.

In the past the, British people have had their ignorant | doubts as is the reality and sign- Brance of Chinese civilization and culture. ".

-To-day. Instructed AN We are on the one hand by the savage hates of narrow nation- alistic cults, on the other hand by the dignity and self-control of Chinese freling against Ja- pan: we have no doubt as to whose hands bear the torch of civilization,....
