No Complaints

Writing under the subtitle, "A Word to the British people on the Eve of the League Meetings" General Chiang Po-li, who recently returned from Europe, which he toured for one year as Generalissimo Chiang-Kai-shek's personal representative, frankly stated that "the Chinese people have mo complaint against the League nor any against Britain.

"Despite the League of Nations weakness and shortcomings we must know that today nations must form groups in order to fight" he said. "It is impossible for a nation to seek world peace individually.
