If the covenant of the league and the Kellogg pact are permit ted to crumble to piecea over the Sino-Japanese situation, the con ference will fail, he aaid. "The outcome of the present struggle to ward off external aggression In tbe most virulent form." he add ed, "mast Inevitably and largely determine the armament policy which the Chines nation will pnrsae." Dr. Yen dealt more with tbe Far Eastern situation In his ad dreaa than with disarmament. "My country and my people," he aaid, "are not seeking pity or so liciting the armed help of other nations in oar hour ot trial, but we do demand that the nations that have affixed their signatures to these solemn instruments ful fill the obligatlona to which tbey have subscribed. We do appeal to yon to rally around the cove nant and the Kellogg-Brland pact, for only by so doing can yon make the work of disarmament real and permanent." If. he aaid. the covenant and the Kellogg pact prove to be bul warks of peace and International justice on which law-abiding na tions can rely for safety tiring an armamenta truce, the disarma ment conference will mark a long step forward in the organixation of peace. "But If, by some nnhappy mis chance," he added, "these bul warks should crumble, the Chi nese people and the Chinese gov ernment would be regretfully compelled to put above all other national tasks the building up of a national defense strong enough to secure respect and preserve against external aggression the territorial Integrity and political Independence of China.
