If China Does Not Win War There Will Be No Hope For World Peace

The following is the sixth instalment of the full translation of the speech delivered by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek at the Sixth Plenary Session of the C.E.C. of the Kuomintang on Nov, 12. Our people must not fall short of what they owe themselves. We must know that the stabilizing in#uence in the Far East is a China independent, free, and living side by side with other no- tions, and certainly not a Japan, ruthlessly seeking to banish other nations from the Far East, so that she alone can be the overlord. The key to security in the Far East lies in whether China's independence, sovereignty and territorial and administra- tive integrity are intact and whether China emerges victorious from her war of resistance. So long as China has not attained

her independence, there will be no tranquillity in the Far East. If China does not win this war. there will be no hope for world pence.

Indeed a Chinese victory will a blessing to the world, whereas a triumphant Japan would mean a world disaster. It is unnecessary to go far in. searching for evidence. One can get a clear idea from the recent utterances and actions emanating from Japan. Is it not true that the Japanese militarists persistently said: "In order to conquer the world, we must conquer China first?" but this was said by them even at a time when the world was still at peace.

Yet China does not entertain the slightest sense of reliance on the various friendly nations. Rather she is merely remaining faithful to the cause of righteousness and Justice and collaborating with the friendly powers to attain their common objective, world security.
