GENERALISSIMO CHIANG ADDRESSES

THE CHINESE NATION

Confident Of Victory In War Against Japan

Hankow. August 13

The terrible plight of 150,000,000. Chinese people in 2,000,000 square kilometres of Chinese territory now under forcible Japanese occupation was brought to attention by Generalissimo Chiang Kai- shek on the eve of the anniversary of the Shanghai hostilities in a stirring message,

"We must remember that these vast tracts of territory overrun by Japanese iron hoofs are our own soil, and these millions of people under the shackle of unbearable oppression our own people, and resolve to liberate them from a shame and inglory which must be shared by every single member of the whole Chinese race." General- issimo Chiang exhorted.

· SACRIFICES NOT IN VAIN Generalissimo Chiang reminded the Chinese that their sufferings and sacrifices were not in vain but constituted a price for China's in- dependence and freedom. He said that as the Generalissimo he must be held responsible for their suffer- ings and sacrifices.

DEFEAT DESTINED

Summing up his observations, Generalissimo Chiang declared that Japan's defeat has been destined whilst China is steadi- ly marching on her way to final victory. What is needed for scoring this final victory is a major military success which, he believes, is at hand.

Speaking of the outcome of the

war. the Generalissimo in his message maintained his conviction that final victory must be with the Chinese people. Instead of en- croaching gradually on Chinese ter- ritory, which is the most subtle and dangerous method, Japan now planned to conquer China in a single bite phd already she has got herself choked up by swallow- ing too much.

CHINA HOLDS THE UPPER HAND Generalissimo Chiang said mill- tarily. politically, spiritually and diplomatically, China, in the pre- sent war has gained the upper hand against the Japanese...

We will defend the Wuhan arca ..with our might and main." Generalissimo Chiang asserted, "we have full con- fidence that we can.shatter the plans of the Japanese to cap- ture this area. "In fact, the Japanese are already trapped in a quagmire. The more re- inforcements they send the greater losses they will sus- tain."

With full self-confidence und grim determination the Chinese nation will present an impregnable front and will infillet a deadly blow to the enemy. "The imminent Igreat struggle will mark the begin- ¡ning of China's final victory."
