I have tried to BRA a special study of the åmportant developments in China counting from Chiang Kai-shek"s Northern Expedition in 1926 to the present day. This second part of the book 1s now being translated to be publisbed by Kegan Paul in London. In some additional pages I summarize the events of the last four months ending with an appeal for support from the democratic great powers. I think that my little volume which will be sold at the price of approximately 10/64 will be a plea for the case of china and thati 1t should be placed in the hands of statemen and politicians in Great Britain and in U.S.A.

Kung, the Minister of finance, On the other hand I have approached the publisher ivho is willing to grant a reductioi f 208. Proofs of all the text will be presented to yon and to Dr. Hu Shih in Washington for your examination and your approval of the book as fit to serve the cause of China. May I hope to count upon your support for this distribution scheme? The two embassies will then be asked to provide us with the adresses but we think that the distribution should be left in the hands of the publisher when enclosing a card: "With the suthorås compliments" I will very much avpreciate to get your kind advice on this little propaganda scheme.
