So it seems to me desirable to consider the record, and also the fact that a good share of the criticism comes from Moscow. About 29 years ago Dr. Sun Yet Sen, the George Washington of China, headed the revolution which threw out the misrule of the old empress, and started a new government with democracy as the final goal, patterned large- loy on that of the greatly ad mired U.S.A. . . Among Dr. Sun's devoted fol lowers was the young Chiang. Then after the death of Dr. Sun, China was for years torn by civil war. There were many con flicting interests independent war lords more Interested In their own ambitions than In uniting China under the new government. Probably the strongest opposing group was that of the communists which were backed by the communist party in Russia at the same time that same Russian communist party was so active in the United States. ' . Chiang Kai-shek rose as the one among millions with the ability, courage and moral force to ' unite China for eventual democracy in opposition to com munist. He was succeeding to a most remarkable extent when Japan struck, and the terrible, bloody war started, "the Chinese incident" as Japan calls it. For at least six years China has withstood 'Japan, with no heavy industry to produce tanks and artillery, and with little rtolp from the allies. (Possibly two per cent of our lend-lease material was delivered to China.) Madam Chiang tried her best to make our government see the terrible need for more help to China and what her defeat would mean in prolonging our Trace war with Japan. I p.-m. Free. .09 .02 .13 BAILEY LEAVING FOR STATE PEN Isn't it a reasonable guess to suppose that although Stalin may need all his forces to fight Germany and so can not give aid to fight Japan, he also may be perfectly willing to see China beaten to the extent of the down' faU of Chiang? Then later Stalin may step in and help beat Japan and at the same time communist Russia will dominate China and the United States will have lost the great opportunity of holding China as a most valuable, friend ly, democratic ally.

The subterranean spring water of the Olympia brewing Company at Tumwater, (Olympia) is an example of how a faultless brewing water can produce an outstanding beer such as Olympia mild, dean-tasting, refreshing, and with a rare flavor that is difierent and exceptionally good. BEER "It's the Water" America's Original LightTable Beer X .his is probably the first time you've ever seen War- Bonds fishing The happy side of Mr. Brown's sav ing is that he's laying the ground work for a secure old age for his wife and himself. And according to Mr. Brown, "that means fishing." I That man in the boat up there is Bill Brown. In about five minutes he's go ing to land the biggest bass in the world well, almost the biggest.' The time is 1954. And even Mr. Brown doesn't know yet about the ' big one he's going to land. But Bill Is working hard today in 1944 saving money and buying War Bonds and still, more War Bonds. After all, the Browns have two boys in the Navy and is he says, "It's little enough mat we do, but it's the best we know how." ' 1944 is a good year for saving money. Because of the war there is a short age of purchasable material. Because of this shortage prices are higher and dollars can't buy as much as they probably will 10 years from now, say. If you will plan your saving now work it out with pencil and paper your spending later will be more profitable to you and your fam ily. 'And the best way to save now is to buy War Bonds. Another good way is to add regularly to your bank account so that you will have ready cash for emergencies. Your bank ac count may help you to hold your War Bonds straight through to profit able maturity. iwiwinraSft Half the sjttMt sffarta te Im jeer Mm setts BOWK Uh Wrf stwar at rar Mar Uf.
