Questioned about America's partial embargo on the shipment of war material to China and the American Ambassador's action in going aboard the gunboat Luzon on September 2l, the Generalissimo said:—"I feel that it is unnecessary for me to comment for what our American friends and in China, who have seen what is on here, feel must be identical wit my own feelings."
Asked about the responsibility of the other Powers, the Generalissimo declared that, while the other signatories should live up to their obligations, he believed that "America's responsibility is far greater since she convened the Washington Conference and was mainly instrumental in the conclusion of the Nine-Power Treaty and the League Covenant,"
General Chiang expressed surprise at the present attitude of the Powers which, he declared, did not only fail to live up to their obligations, but were "definitely under the domination of Japan and were watching the tearing up of treaties to which they were signatories."
Replying to a question whether China expected much help from the League of Nations, the Generalissimo said: "Justice must triumph in the end."
