China Approaching 1939 ALHAMBRA

With Confidence

LONDON, Dec. 22.

"CHINA APPROACHES the new year with confidence, based not only on the impregnable position of the National Govern- ment, our leader, and the valour of the Chinese people, but by virtue of increased international readiness to help China," said Mr. Que Tal-chl, the Chinese 'Ambassador to Lodon, in an inter- view to-day.

The reasons for supporting China become daily more formid- able through Japaneso depreda tions of British interests, added the Ambassador. The United States, by granting China credit

lined the spirit of financial co- operation, saying that this may well be only the beginning.

"I am gratified by the many indica- flons, even defulte steps, that Britain, with still more vital faterests at stake than the United States, is now fully aroused to the menacing realities.

"Japan has over reached herself sa conspicuously that even the most hedtant British business interests realise that only by China's triumph an the legitimate Western interests survive in the Far East.

"Now at this Chritmas season, every Chinese feels heartened and happier by this development, added to the constant British benefactions for Chinese sufferers in the de- vastated areng,

I am content that the new year will mark a turn of the tide in China's favour."---Reuter.
