Regarding German-Chinese econo mic relations, Dr. Kung emphasized that these had always been excellent, because China and Germany had supplemented each other ideally. China was an immense country with vast undeveloped territories, while Germany was an industrial country needing raw materials.
The German statesmen, continued Dr. Kung, would bear this in mind, for in economic affairs one should think not only of the present but of the future. Through clearing and other agreements with Germany China had made possible the continuation of the German-Chinese trade and the import of raw materials and had always shown herself to be a true friend of the Reich, In this connection Dr. Kung pointed to the fact that during the G: War China had not occupied Tsingtao, Dr. Kung then spoke at length about his visit to Germany last yea: irom which he had returned with nothing but good recollections, both of his official and his, private exper; ences. Dr. Kung said that ever; where in Germany he had been received cordially and had been treatee with the utmost friendliness. He admired Chancellor Hitler and was delighted at having had the opportunity of making the acquaintance of the Fuehrer of the Germans in personal meetings.
