Excerpt from China's Claims at the Peace Table Among all the powers of the world, great and small, now gathering at the Paris Conference, China endorses the plan of the League of Nations most unhesitatingly and wholeheartedly. Immediately after the announcement of the proposed League Constitution, China, throughout the length and breadth of the Republic, entertains but one sentiment, that, hereafter a new order of nationalism and internationalism based on right and justice is to reign in the world, and by this new order, China hopes to get an honorable place among the family of nations, which she is legally and morally entitled to, and by which she will be able not only to realize her material development without molestation from outside, but also to render greater and better services to mankind at large. This universal sentiment of China has been voiced by both her government and people. From Peking and from elsewhere, cables of congratulation have been forwarded to President Wilson, the founder of the League, with messages of appreciation and pledges of support for the newly organized international federation. Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo, one of China's delegates at Paris, and one of the members on the committee of the drafting of the League Constitution, has repeatedly declared China's strong and firm stand for the League, in the council meetings as well as in the plenary sessions. Why does China have such an undivided and overwhelming enthusiasm and faith in the League? China endorses the League of Nations, because she agrees with the ideals and principles involved, in her heart, not merely in words.
