Sun Fo, son of Dr. Sun Yal-Sen, founder of the Nationalist party and first President of China, is hexe to raise funds for the building of railroads in his country and to finance other im- portant economic projects. He comes from a three-month visit in Europe where he has been explaining to bankers the new government's scheme for re- construction. Secks Japan Parley. He predicted serious trouble in the three northern provinces “unless Japan ceases any program she may have for annexing them.” He said, however, that the Nationalist government would wel- come a chance to negotiate a settlement of Manchuria problems with Japan and was sure that China would agree to “any reasonable interpretation” of Japan's special position. “Would that mean that Manchuria | would be allowed to stand as Japan's sphere of influence?” he was asked. “It might amount to that,” he said. | “although we do not intend to counte- nance any more partitioning of China in the old sense.

China was still a republic as it had been since his father led the successful rev against the Emperor in 1911, but there was considerable readjustment and public education needed to make it en- tirely successful. He believes there must be a funda- mental change in the activities of Chris~ tion missionaries, especially as it refers to foreign school: “China enjoys absolute freedom ot worship,” he said; “we do not care what faith or denomination o} a church. But schools have been placed in a spe- cial category by Nanking. Education is one of the chief problems and the con- trol of education must stay with the Chinese government.
