Marshal Chang Heueh-liang replied that he could not receive in ce Baron Hayashi's repeated] personal warnings, however deeply] he appreciated them. Being a Chinese, he said his thoughts were those of a Chinese and, therefore, he wished to see China unified by the conclusion of a peace with the Nationalist Government so that a policy of peaceful and economic development might be inaugurated. Although he was well aware that the 'Nationalist Government was not yet perfectly consolidated, he believed it to be, on the whole, effective. He had to adopt the will of the people as his will and, he said, he must not act contrary to' that will. He trusted that Japan would not throw all caution to the winds and risk her good international relations just on sount of an imagined fear of situation which is perfectly peaceful.
