Tel. 743 YEAR OF CHAOS FAILS 10 DAUNT Leaders Refuse to Guess What New Year Holds for Troubled Country Man churia Sees More Trouble By MORRIS .1. HARRIS. SHANGHAI (AP) As 1933 arrives China looks back upon a year of trag edy and turmoil, but finds herself with the gravest of her international and domestic problems unsolved. Leaders refuse to hazard a guess as to what the new year will bring to this sick giant of Asia, but all pro fess confidence that in the end meaning few years or many the big world problems now centering In east ern Asia will be settled and, for the great part, according to dictatea of China. Manchuria Faces Chaos. Japan's military occupation of Manchuria and Institution of the pro tected state of Manchukuo consti tuted the greatest foreign threat to China, since the dio&Btrous Blno-Japa-nese war in the closing years of the previous century. As 1532 passes. Mane hurl an volun teers continue to harass the Island empire's officials. The coming year promises to be one of chaos there even while the League of Nations tries to settle the problem. In memory, too, exists the assault which Japan launched upon Shang hai late last January. For six weeks an army of more than 50,000, backed by a naval armada, was held at bay bythe Chinese nineteenth route army. Eventually there was a truce. Huge Losses Counted. What was gained remains a matter of opinion. Japan says she broke the Chinese boycott. China declarea she showed the world that her soldiers on defense were equal to those of any other nation. The principal results were huge losses of lives and property. But Shanghai has traveled a long way along the comeback road and to day, uuder increased tariffs, is the source of a river of revenue for the Nanking regime. Home Politics Mixed. Domestically the unity of China continues more of a theory than a fact. The powerful clique In control of Canton maintains only a nominal allegiance to Nanking. The centraJj provinces are aflame with com munism; the north has too many troubles of Its own to permit it to give active aid to Nanking.
