CHUNGKING, Jan. 30.
COMBINING A CLARION call to arms and continued and unmitigating resistance, a dispassionate appeal to world justice and righteousness, a strong re-assertion of the Three People's Principles, and a lashing condemnation of Japanese aggrandizement, a stirring manifesto was issued upon the adjournment of the fifth plenary session of the C.E.C. here.
The manifesto, a lengthy document of over 5,000 words, calls attention of the entire nation to their holy mission and enjoins them to fight on, with their deter- mination strengthened by an unshakable confidence in the final prevalence of their country's cause.
unity is only precariously maintained by the sheer brutality of a despotle military machine,

Nine Power Treaty as a scrap of paper were merely the beginning of a brutal and mad scheme designed to
cower and fabbergast the world.
