DESTINY

Hankow, October 10.

In the steel and fire of fifteen months of unremitting struggle, 'In which countless numbers of China's sons and daughters have lived and tasted the war, a nation's new life, full of promise, has been cast: the spirit of the Chinëse people have now approached that of the revolutionary martyrs of 27 years ago, their action harmonise with the ideals of national reconstruction."

With these ringing sentiments Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek opened a lenghty message on the occasion of the 27th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Republic,

"The Chinese people, without exception, have come to accept and enforce the Three People's Principles, and this is sign of the rebirth of the our nation." said the Generalissimo.
