Chinese Students in Britain at the annual dinner of the Union last evening Mr. Chu Chao-hsin, the Chinese Charge d'Affaires, emphasized its great valle to students and, continuing, dwelt on the special advantage of studying in Britain, which, he declared, was the most constitutional country in letter and the most democratic in spirit.
He urged China's need for a permanent constitution more complete and more suitable than the present provisional one and expressed the hope that if some of those present reached home in time to help in the forming of it they would remember the lessons acquired here. He trusted that in any case a new Constitution would very soon be made public and become effective so that China as a whole would be able to maintain order and tranquillity.
Mr. Chu reminded the students, however, of the impossibility of transporting the civilization and constitution of one country bodily to another, and urged abstention from agitation, intolerance and over. pessimism. He said that the people of these times were only too ready to suggest that China was suffering from evils which were insuperable but this was not so. Every nation passed a transitional period.
Finally, he admonished the maintenance and increase of the high prestige which Chinese students already enjoyed in British.—Reuter.
