Road to Friendship

British prestige in China dropped to an alltime low when news of the Hong Kong, Singapore, Burma disasters reached Chungking. A year later, a British Parliamentary mission flew to China, hoping to recreate good will and understanding.

Last fall China reciprocated, sent a good-will mission to England to propagate the theme that the two nations should be "co-architects of peace." The missionaries: 52-year-old Dr. Wang Shih-chieh, onetime Minister of Education; editor-publisher Wang Yun-wu; Hu Lin, managing director of the powerful liberal newspaper Takungpao; educators Han Li-wu, Dr. Wen Yuan-ning. They met King George, Winston Churchill and other British bigwigs. Last week Dr. Wang Shih-chieh and Hu Lin arrived in the U.S., the others proceeded to Turkey. They were still making friends for China.
