CHINA STRONG, SAYS KUNG

"The Chinese people can look forward to the year which lies ahead with renew- ad confidence and hope.” SAYS Dr. B. H Kong, President of the Executive Yuan and Min- lator of Finance, in a special New Year message to the "Hongkong Daily Press.”

"In offering my grootings, to my foreign friends and fol low-countrymen, I cannot help thinking how, in com- parison with the strong fin- Enolar position in which China duds herself at the end of" того than eighteen months of war, Japan's post- tion has been sadly shaken. Japan, in spite of her mili- Lary advantages, is suffering beyond words. ang this year will probably find her in a position vastly worse."

Young China has been. prepared for the exit of Wang Ching-wel from Chinese Nationalist politics. But still that same watchfulness will continue over Wang and his associates wherever they may go. The past of Wang Chẳng- wel and his connections with the Japanese, the Germans and the Italiana, are catching up with him, "The totalitarian gendarmes are as ruthless with their friends as democratic regimes' are merciful to their enemies. Were it not for that mercy, Wang Ching-wet would' not still be able to put words on paper-even if those” words 'draw the condemnation of the entire Chinese People upon their author,

From the time that Wang Ching- wel was shot and wounded in 1935. and his retirement in December of that year to the fateful December, 1937, he remained in Europe where he maintained close contact with the German and Italian leaders.
