In answering your first question, Twould say that, although China has political differences inside, the] Chinese people are practically uniting outsiders. You would hot realize the Chinese aspirations if you depend solely upon the news who have been always T must declare that the Chinece nowadays.are not afraid of big guns. How many gunbdcts oan be sent over, and how many soldiers, can these' gunboats convey to stich a long distance? Do you think the 400,000,000 Chinese can be con quered in this way? I emphatically. say no.
