The Canadian share of the attack was described officially as “the H. C. A. Fla heaviest blow yet us a group." Several squadrons of R. C. A. F. Lan- cssters, Ilalilaxes and Welling- ions participated.

“It is China's ardent desire to see not only the unconditional sur- render but the complete disarmam- ent o1 our common enemies at the end of the war," declared Dr. shi- Shun Llu.

g t. The function took place in The Charlottetown and was very largely attended. Mr. T. W. L. Prowse. president of the Rotary Club, pre- sided.

The visiting Minister was wel- comed in brief addresses by the chairman and by Lieutenant Gov- ernor LePage, Premier J. Walter Jones, and Mayor B. Roy Holman. Others present included Chief Jus- tice Thane A. Campbell and a large representation of Sumrnerside Rotarians.

Emphasizing disarmament of Japan as the first of China's as- pirations in the post war world, Dr. Liu maintained that "just as no oppmtunity should be given for n negutiamd peace. so should tine bn no consideration whatever for any Axis armament beyond the lowest minimum absolutely necess- ary for the maintenance o! inter- nal order." The lesson, he said, "must be emphntlcully driven home that military oppression does not pay and that the only reasonable method human intercourse. ei- ther domestically or internationally, i; that of fair play and mutual il_n- derstanding."

Law and Justice

China hopes that the reign of law and Jus- tice will be restorcd.that States will cease to employ forccasan instru- -ment of national policy rind time they all will aynrce to and crqrry out in earnest the pacific settlement of international disputes.

"To this category," he “would belong Formosa and the Liuchiu Islands. Formosa was a Chinese province before it was an- nexed by Japan. Its inhabitants have continually clamoured for re- union vlh China. It is only reas- onable that such territories as these should be brought back under Clliflesc rule.

"In certain other cases, where future tezritorial changes are in- volved, China has reiterated her in- tention to adopt an attitude of inagnanimous sell denial, although the areas concerned have had with ‘ner close racial and political ties."
