» Allies Will Beat Japs’, Mr. Shepherd Predicts By BETTY LU SIEGMAN Li, I, lien, and chih, the four great principles of China, are the basis of the Chinese philosophy of state taught by Confu cianism and practised by Generalissimo Chiang-Kai-Chek, ac cording to Rev. George W. Shepherd, special advisor on the Chinese New Life movement, who spoke to the ASUO Thurs day. "China and the United Nations will win this war against Japan,’’ Rev. Shepard said, in explaining that battle is largely a matter of principle. I Fundamental Principles Even though Japan started preparing 43 years ago, they can’t win, because they started on the wrong principle, the concept of corruption. As long as the united nations stick to the principle that all men are equal, they will win, the Reverend maintained. He emphasized the Generalissi mo’s own words, "In times of peril don’t experiment, but go back to the fundamental princi ples.” He added that this is why the great leader’s people believe in him. Most important “The practice of li, first cor nerstone of ancient China and upon which Chiang Kai-Shek is building a new China, means hu man relations or the way human beings behave toward one an 'jther. It is the most important ^tiing in the world,” said Rev. Shepard. According to him, the second great principle, I, which means social justice, expresses what is inside man and his attitude to ward life as well as toward oth ers. He added that God, being just and impartial, is really I, the highest expression of life. Die for Honor Lien, the third cornerstone, means plain honesty, sincerity, and truth. Stressing the words of the common people of China, “We have always known that honesty is lien, but have just been waiting for some big man to say it,” the reverend added, “This is what makes life worth While.” Chih means self respect and «{so represents honor, which the fninese stand for and for which they will fight and die. Studies Classics He gave a sketch of the gen eralissimo’s life from the age of four when he began his study of the classics, volumes of philoso phy on the accumulated wisdom of China for 4000 years, to the present time when he is begin ning the third battle of his life at 56 years of age. He stressed the importance of Chiang Kai-Shek’s conversion into the Christian faith and his join ing of the Southern Methodist church after his prospective mother-in-law had flatly denied that he could marry her daugh ter because he was not a Chris tian. In Japanes Army ^For two years he studied the Bible and supplemented this with a correspondence course from Madame Chiang’s mother. When he was 17, and had com pleted his study of the classics, the generalissimo went to Shang hai. After two years he made the second great decision of his life, to follow a military career. While following this path he was actu ally an officer in the Japanese army for two years. Three Battles When he came home from Ja pan he began his first great bat tle, which was with the war lords. This was won, resulting in the establishment of the national government of China. The second battle was with the revolutionary group which be lieved in class warfare and ha tred. It was just completed when the Japs struck again, resulting in the present war which we are now engaged in, marking the third battle of the general.
