They have already made a tour of .the Continent, and are to go to America and Japan to study the conditions in those countries. General Hsu, a kindly and courteous man, who wore a khaki military uniform, said in an interview that he had been sent by Marshal Tuan Chijui, head of the Chinese Government, to study the political, economic, and military affairs in countries abroad and to present a report. They had, he said, formed a' favourable impression of Europe. As a military man, he wdll see the British army and navy, ho continued, and is to visit the military depot at Aldershot. On the following day he goes to Halton, Wendover. the training depot for air mechanics in the Royal Air Force.
