Hankow, July 31.
REACT Britain's foreign policy is farsighted but most unrealistic, Germany's policy is realistic but shortsighted, Italy's policy Is one of opportunism and subject to frequent and sudden changes, while France's policy represents caution and wisdom.
This is the opinion of the foreign policy of European powers expressed in a special article published here this morning by General Chiang Po-who has just returned from Europe, whither he was sent by the Chinese Government as a special envoy as soon as the Sino-Japanese hostilities broke out a year ago.
Commeni'rit on Great Britain's foreign policy, General Chiang states that Mr, Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, is known as a realist, "but Britain's superiority Hes not in her ability to deal with the immediate situation but in facing the future. After the Sino-Japanese war of 1804, Britain formed an alliance with Japan to meet the Russian menace, In 1904 Britain formulated policy to encircle' Germany. As soon as the Great War was over Britain warned Japan against aggressions in China aday's favourable public opinion in England towards China was carefully prepared several years ago by the Chinese Arts Exhibition in Lon= don to arouse interest in China and Chinese affairs. Britain decides on her policy generally ten years or five years ahead, so when the time arrives for action there cannot be any. upset."
