GOODWILL REQUIRED

CHINA AND HEX PROBLEMS "Goodwill is what China wants and what China asks for," said the Rev. J. Mackenzie (luring the course of an interesting address on China, with particular reference to tho troublous times there, which ho delivered at the- Rotary Club luncheon yesterday. Tho speaker was introduced by Kotarian A. Martin. China had been maligned to a considerable extent, said Mr. Mackenzie, by tho typo of information that had been given about tho country to other kinds. During tho last few years China had certainly been in a very confused state arid had been productive of much trouble. What was going on there 1? Itwas not a- revolution, but half a dozen revolutions in one. Tho man, however, who thought that nationalism was a force 'to bo despised in China did not know the country. It was not the making of treaties that would solve the trouble in China, but a proper attitude of mind and approach. Tlie Chinese would meet us half-way, and we should be prepared to meet them. At the conclusion of liis address Mi. Mackeiizio was accorded a hearty vote of thanks. Visiting . llotaiians .present at ilie luncheon were: T. Ashwcll, Leicester, England; J. E. Woodside, Cambridge, Massachusetts; L. Harvey, Hastings; W. Eogers, Nelson; R. W. D. ltobertson, New Plymouth.
