Defends the Generalissimo
To the editor: la the press
I have read questionings about
China in her war effort and criti
cism of Chiang Kai-shek. 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.

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.

NUBBINS HAS COLD
Denver, Dec, 6 (U.R) Nub

that gives Olympia Constant Purity
Centuries of brewing experience has
shown that certain waters have a more
solvent quality than others to extract
the most desirable hidden flavors from the
hops and grains, and impart them to the
beer. 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.

.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.
