THROUGH CHINESE GLASSES.
"The development of the British Empire was unprecedented in mankind's history, and certainly such an Empire could not he held together merely by au absence of logic. In the hands of any other nation, the British Empire would have fallen by its own weight, for the problem of holding an Empire from Australia to Canada together would have taxed the most statesmanlike minds. Only the Efiglish mind could have solved it, and it did so by inventing the British Commonwealth. The British Commonwealth is actually a League of Nations, with the difference that it is a League of Nations that really works. The English people are probably unaware that it is a League of Nations, for they have the liback of doing a thing without knowing what it is. I don't know how the English people discovered the formula, but somehow or other they lmve discovered it or stumbled into it by their sheer commonsense and capacity for adjustment to realities.fWJ)£- Lin Yu-Taug, in a speeck at JSjiangtLal
