CHINESE UNITY

STAND AGAINST JAPAN" "WILL NEVER SUBMIT" [by TELEGRAPH —rRESS association] WELLINGTON, Monday The complete unification of China, brought about as a result of Japanese aggression, was emphasised by Mr. Wong She, who returned to Wellington by the Awatea to-day after a three months' visit to China. No longer were the war lords fighting one with the other, hd said, but all were presenting a united front against the enemy. It was a pity that the yellow races, who ought to behave like brothers, should be at each other's throats, but Japan was spurred on by the need of land and China would never submit to the demands made on her..

Mr. Wong She, who has been in business in Wellington for a number of years, left New Zealand five months ago for Canton, where 1 he spent three months at the university studying higher business administration. During his stay in Canton the city was bombed by Japanese aeroplanes, which destroyed the railway between Canton and Hongkong. Steps had been taken, however, to repair the line immediately and 15,000 men had been put to work, with the result that the line had been repaired in a few days. China, said Mr. Wong She, would never be beaten to her knees. If the Japanese persisted in their attack, they would encounter guerilla warfare. The Chinese would adopt the stratagem used by the Russians against Napoleon. When their cities were threatened the Chinese would destroy them utterly and retire with their people into tho hills, leaving tho Japanese without food supplies.
