The socialistic ideas of the reformers represent a part of the current dábology of the present literate class in China. In their new version they are introduced from the West side by side with the modern technology and capitalistic system of industry. The position of the Chinese people in the world economy and the repeated struggle with the western powers have created a situation favourable for the spreading of acca ideas; A. reac:

This attitude was explicitly stated in the "Three peoples Principles" of the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen, which have been accepted, theoretically, by the present government as guiding principle Of its national policies.

Dr. Hsu has for years been an able research scholar in the field of China's relations with Japan in ell questions relating to Manchuria and North China. Even in this little cloth-and-board-cover book on "How the Far Eastern War Was Begun," the scholar is as evident as the propagandist. The book deals mainly with the background of the Lukouchiao incident of July 7, 1937, with the. large-scale hostilities that broke out North China on July 28, and the lunge Aerccrome incident of August 9 which led to the crisis and war at Shanghai.
A clear account is given of the yangize Tangku Truce of May 31, 1933, the text of which is given, and of the Ho-Umetsu agreement of 1935, of which there is no official published version either Japanese or Chinese, and of the Chin-Doihara terms embodied in notes of June 27, 1935. Mr. Hsu, needless to say, finds the Japanese charges unfounded which assert that the Chinese government authorities broke the terms of these agreements:
