"Hands off! let China work out her own destiny by herself. Endowed by unlimited natural re. sources China is physically capable of becoming a great industrial and commercial nation and, her people, highly democratic, intelligent and hard working, can and will work oué the solutions of their own problem and make China one of the great Powers in the future." This advice to all the nations interested in China was given by Dr, Frank Crane, the American writer, when passing through Japan on return to America.
Dr. Crane and his family spent two weeks visiting in China. The journalist has seen a number of leaders in financial and economic circles in China. Dr. Crane said that he was greatly impressed with the unlimited natural. resources awaiting exploitation there. Views frequently expressed by the foreign travellers in China that the conditions are so appalling that foreign supervision is needed were scorned by Dr. Crane.
