Book Description

Excerpt from Revision of Unequal Treaties: China Appeals to the League of Nations; Official Text of the Speeches of Mr. Chao-Hsin Chu and Press Comments Thereon Mr. Chao-hsin chu (china): First of all, in the name of the Chinese delegation and on behalf of the Chinese Government, I wish to express our appreciation and admiration of the work accomplished by the Council and the Secretariat during the past year. The League deserves to be congratulated upon its progress and success. Owing to the non-observance of the geographical principle in the election of non-permanent Members to the Council, China has not yet been able to' reobtain her seat on the Council since 1923, and the Chinese people have not known whether the League still has its eye on the continent of Asia. But I can assure you that the attitude of the Chinese Government as a supporter of the League remains unchanged. Moreover, there are in China many warm well-wishers of the League. Chinese public opinion on matters of international interest runs very high to -d.ay What China most expects from the League is that her international position and the privileges to which she is entitled shall be fully recognised.
