With the actual work of reunification at an end disbandment. will follow easily and nationally. A peaceful and normal China. will invite development. A great many more men than those enlist-armies in China can be put to work on railways, highways and waterways. Colonization of arable lands on the frontiers will draw the class of men from the congested districts who now either enter the army or turn bandits.

He cites many periods in Chinese history when abnormally large armies were used on public works and abnormally congested districts thinned out through colonization and he is sure that the process can be as easily repeated in this generation without great cost and without any particular friction if military authority is again centralized, General Wu says that he believes that the foreign Powers will appreciate that reunion in China, the return to normal conditions and the extension of good communications in all quarters of the country will be entirely to the advantage of the world at large and that when. the Powers are convinced that China is finally moving in the right direction, China will have their sympathy and support.
