CHANG KAI SHEK

Reading Chang Kai Shek's statement to newspaper
men yesterday cannot help but admire him for the
position he takes with reference to the interference of
European powers and the United States in connection
with China's civil war
The efficient leader of the Cantonese forces denies
that his men responsible for the riots at Nam
king last week and declares he is ready pay dam
ages IT 1t can be proved that his forces committed the
depredations that cost the lives of several foreigners
lie asserts his ability to maintain law and order and
resents the presence of foreign battleshps and
ready to open fire his perhaps before they are
really guilty OF any outrages. Most Of all Chang re-
sents the presence of foreign soldiers and guns in
Shanghai, co protect nationals of other nations from
on the injury to his dignity and the nsnuaon that he
is ant-foreign.
Il am not anti-foreign," he told the newspapermen
but am pro-Chinese. You did not have these guns
and warlike preparations when the northern Chinese
troops were here why have them that my soldiers
are the If there no display of armed
strength by the powers there would be less to ncite
the Chinese to disorders
There is considerable truth in what Chang says. He
has proved himself good leader and perhaps if he
is not hampered by outside interference he may be big
enough to bring his country out of its present chaotic
state. Certainly he deserves the chance to try.
He pleaded with the newspapermen to present the
news of Chinese affairs saney and not to eXaggerate
things Again he certainly deserves fair play this
score.
81 am in impossible stuation, he concludes.
'Ihe foreign authorities will not permit the Chinese
to regulate the law and yet hold responsible when
trouble comes.'
Were positions reversed, and the Chinese had landed
force in San Francisco New York, would
things in very different light. American lives in
CHINA must he protected, person questions that but
they should not be used to interfere the
internal quarrels of supposedly friendly nation
Chiangs frank statement will command the respect
and sympathy of many Americans.

PROTECTING HONE ART

The British government proposes law which
would require British movie theaters to exhibit
tain percentage of British produced films The pur
pose is to fight the victorious invasion of american
films, which dominate the picture heaers throughout
the world.
Protecting home industries is familiar principle
of political economics, which Americans understand
well enough and other countries rapidly learning
But protecting home art is something different
'My contempt for this bill deprives of the power
of speech remarked George Bernard Shaw, when
asked for his opinion of it.
Evidently Shaw thinks the British movie art like
English speaking drama and British painting and
sculpture and music, should stand on its legs in
stead Of being propped by artificial discrimination
against foreign competition.
When British producers make better films than Am
ercan producers, British theaters will need legal
compulsion to them.
