Hopes for China.

Strong hopes that the national aspirations of each other's country would soon be realized wera vididly expressed by Chinese Nationalist leaders and Manuel Quezon, at a Nationalist banquet where Mr. Quezon and members of his party were the guests of honour.

Speaking on behalf of himself and the Filipino people, Mr. Quezon stated: "I pray that Nationalist China will soon accomplish its pur- pose and emerge an independent sovereign nation.

"The world's interest is now cen tred on China, hoping she will win her struggle for unification and in- dependence among the nations and she is well along toward that goal. "I am Nationalist myself, bellev ing in the eight of all peoples to manage their own destiny, there- fore, my heart is with Nationalist China and nationalists throughout the world."

Dr. G. T. Wang, Nationallat For eign Minister who arrived unexpect edly from Nanking in time to at- tend the banquet and see Mr. Quezon, delivered the main address In behalf of the Chinese, stating that the aims of China and the WOYE Philippines were in many similar and Nationalist China hopes that the Philippines' "aspirations will eventually be granted and I am aure many American share this view."

The banquet was attended by prominent Chinese political and commercial lenders as well as many Filipinos residing in Shanghai.
