Unification of the Chinese is bound to succeed, the domination by foreign governments and the unfair discriminatory practices by foreigners will surely come to an end, he stated. The new generation coming up in China is vastly difrerent from the old and will not tolerate the conditions which have prevailed in the past, and the system under which their tariff laws are made and their customs service operated is very obnoxious to the present generation, in as much as this source of revehue is under foreign control and supervision. Dr. Chew said.
