“CHINA FIGHTS ON"
Gen. Chiang's Stirring Messages To His People
WHEN JAPAN BEGAN HER AGGRESSION OF CHINA, in July 1937, many Chinese, and the majority of foreigners predicted that China's resistance would not last more than one year, and painted Chinese to the sudden collapse of the resistance offered
by "the armiles in Shanghai in 1932 as sufficient proof of their belief that the present struggle as being futile.
When Manchuria was Invaded in 1931, China was totally unprepared and was in no position to resist such a formidable, and allegedly, first-rate power as Japan. And no one realised this more clearly than Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.
"For example," went on GAN Chiang, "an official addicted to "gambling, drunkenness, or prostitution neglects public affairs, wastes his money and time. and weakens his will power. Corruption and many other evils follow.”
