» 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.
