From London to Nanking.

It is a long way from London to Nanking, and from G. B. Shaw to the leader of Republican China. But about the time when Shaw was declaring that political boycott of the Soviet had won nothing, and that commercial boycott of defaulting Russia had lost much, no less a person than Chiang Kai-shek came into the argument with an affirmation of the Soviet's economic success. Addressing the first National People's Convention of China, he emphasised the progress of the Soviet's “five years plan.” Industrialisation, he said, was proceeding in the heart of Asia, close to the borders of China's own Turkestan and Mongolia. In short, the picture is presented of a Soviet Power astride the Europe-Asia land mass, and acclaimed equally by a London seer and a Chinese overseer.
