Chinese people and to their great leader, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, is exceed- gly gratifying and his words of comfort for the Chinese people in their lone struggle against violent unprovoked aggression by a unscrupulous invader will find the fullest support among all self- respecting Britons.

COMING as they do from a member of the British Gov- ernment, such fervent and friendly words will undoubt- edly carry considerable weight and (as the "Manchester Guardian" rightly pointed out) will never be wasted.. The Chinese, who are particu larly sensitive in this respect, will be glad to hear at least from a member of Mr. Cham- berlain's Cabinet that Our sympathy is based not solely on the extent of our economic Interests.

DEMOCRATIC POLICY

"Had the Democratic.
