Recent events in China are bound to have a profound effect on tre world. said Lord Strabolgi, speaking yesterday at a luncheon of the Society of Friends of the Chinese People, in the course of which several speakers urged the necessity of a better understanding of China by western nations.
"If there had been a better understanding of the Chinase people when they were invaded by Japan." Lord Strabolg! added, "there would have been as great an outburst of feeling fy Britain as there was against the Hoare-Laval East African peace plan."
'Mr, S, Lo Hsiung. Chinese playwright, Whose modern adaptation of "Lady' Precious Stream". is well known. was among those who address sed the gathering.
China, he said. has long been misunderstood by western people. "We can expect help from friendly nations. such as Britain and the United Slates." he added. "yet, naturally 'China' herself must be willing to cooperate, or else we cannot expect too much assistance:"—Havas.
