Mr. Li said that the celebration of the Double Tenth this year had a much more signißennt meaning in view of the crisis China was now "China to-day is passing through, not only struggling for its very existence," said Mr. Li, "but for righteousness and peace.

"Behind the Chinese Government in this war is the tremendous power of resistance of its people. The occasion for this celebration marks the unniversary of the day in which China was liberated from the former Manchu Government. This marked the beginning of our national free- dom, and it is for this same freedom that China is fighting to-day, so that its people will never become slaves."
