THE WORLD AFTER THE WAR.

In the great period of world reorganisation which must come after the war, I think mainly in terms of A, B, C —America, Britain anil China, said Dr Quo Tai-Chi, Chinese Ambassador to Britain, in a farewell broadcast before returning to China. China will always be ready to co-operate with the democratic West, and we Chinese hope that the “democratic West” will include all countries in Europe in the better days ahead of us. In Asia, I am sure that the friendship and help that Russia has given us in our time of danger will be the basis for co-opera-tion when peace comes. I believe in the co-operation of East and West — that, in the peace that is to come, Britain and the United States will find themselves working with China, Russia, Australia, New Zealand and India as well, and I hope Japan herself, when reason and justice finally return to her counsels. But first China must achieve victory. No specious promises and no military pressure from Japan will make her falter or fail.
