Envoy Hints World Situation May Come to China's Rescue By H. R. BAUKHAGE. As the State Department faced the alternative of scrapping the 40 year-old "open-door” policy which guarantees freedom of opportunity to all in China or bowing, to the Japanese war-lords, the new Chi nese Ambassador today expressed his views in his first exclusive inter view since he has presented his credentials. "China,” said the vivacious and youthful appearing Dr. Hu-shih, "is now passing through her Valley Forge. I hope that she will soon reach her Yorktown.” Because of the delicate situation arising from Japan's delayed answer to the State Department's "open door” note of October 6. the Am bassador. a student of history him self, stated that he preferred to clothe his opinions in an historical analogy—the analogy of our own war for independence. However, he consented to elab orate his statement briefly. World Contributes Factor. "It was not merely military aid from France.” Dr. Hu-shih pointed out, “that made the continentals’ victory possible. Not merely money and ships and a land army fur nished by France, but the interna tional situation as well.” Then he paused, a smile on his alert features, to aslc a question: “What was it that changed the destiny of the ragged and disheart ened army at Valley Forge?” Again he paused and then answer ed his own question in terms plainly symbolical of the hope of his people. "It was the international situa tion of the day—the pressure exerted _DR. HU-SHIH._ upon England by the disturbances in Frence, Spain, India, the West Indies, that made Yorktown pos sible. ‘‘With no modern organisation; without proper arms or equipment, with the terrific depreciation of their money, the colonial government fought on. Must Fight on. “What China must do to main tain her independence, is first, to fight on, second to become the beneficiary of an international situ ation which will affect her enemy, as the international situation dur in* the American revolution bene fited the Colonies.” Further than this, the amiable and diplomatic doctor refused to go, but it does not take an American expert in Far Eastern affairs to fill out the picture. Consulted, however, such an ex pert readily mentioned a number of sore points which, it was said, might easily provide an “international sit uation” sufficient to serve the pur pose of Chiang Kai-shek's forces. The first and obvious one is Rus sia, which needs, according to well informed observers, only certain assurances of moral support to cre ate quite an effective counter-irrita tion on Manchukuo's (or as Secre tary Hull would say, "Manchuria's”) northern border. rne second is a unmea demon stration on the part of Great Britain and the United States which would assure Japan that neither country intended to permit its economic in terests to be wiped out by such acts as the recent closing of the Yangzte or the isolation of the British crown colony of Hong Kong. Others might be mentioned. Ambassador Hu-shih would not even admit that these or other steps were in his mind. Knows America—and Silence. A graduate of Cornell University, where he also secured his doctorate in philosophy, he has a keen un derstanding of the American mind and the language as well. Indeed, his ability to use the English lan guage is only surpassed by his ability to remain eloquently silent on it. Since he is neither a businessman nor a trained politician or diplomat it is presumable that he was chosen for his knack for making friends among Americans whose influence and friendship will do the most for his stricken country. Evidence of such qualifications lies in the comment accompanying the honorary degree which he received at Harvard’s tercentenary, when he was specifically cited for his services in bringing together Eastern and Western civilization. While China's representative offers his analogies to America, Chinas enemy continues to produce head aches for the United States. Friendship Held Endangered. Engineers and businessmen with interests in the Far East besiege the State Department with warnings that unless the United States acts in her own Interests to aid China, she will lose, not only her Oriental trade, but China's friendship as well. As one espouser of the "open door” who came to Washington to malce his plea, declared, "China will fol low the way of the Czechs if Japan is allowed to dominate her. She will take up the Japanese slogan of ■ Asia-for-the-Asiatics, cast her lot with her victor and cut all ties with the West.” Meanwhile, the Maritime Com mission watches a rate war in Pa cific shipping threaten to empty American ships or force a huge sub sidy. Tire Japanese made their at tack by cutting rates on Brazilian coffee from $1 to 50 cents a bag. And Dr. Hu-shih scans the waters for an international situation. STARCH IS BHD FOR DOGS!
