CONTROL Of RADIO
BY NATIONS SOUGHT
Diplomats Are Trying to
Make New Method of Com
munication Useful.

Diplomacys effort to catch up with
the tremendous strides taken by the
radio science in recent years has been
stimulated by the speeches made by
President Coolidge and Secretary
Hoover at the opening plenary session
of the International Radiotelegraph
Conference now convening in Wash
ington.
Both pointed out the vital need for
regulation and control of radio COM
munication If order is to be estah-

all OF them diplomats. technicians and
wireless executives. gathered here
from SO countries for the deliberations,
which are expected to extend over a
period of six to eight weeks.
Although there are some preliminary
disagreements. particularly as to gov
ernmental and private phases of con
troll over radio in the different coun-
tries, It is confidently expected that
out of the sessions will come revised
treaty on the subject of international
radio to which all Of the civilized ma
Hons of the world will adhere.
President Coolidge urged the dele
gates TO pursue their deliberations
with candid discussion, generous con-
eiliation and wide cooperation. Secre-
tary Hoover went to pains to explain
to the foreiCn delegates the relation
ship between government and the CON
duct Of business, which differs in diff
ferent countries as regards radio. Dl-
rect governmental operation is the

There are about so private COM

President Coolidge expressed the be.
lief that radio holds great promise OF
reaching into the dark places OF the
earth where means for the. transmits

main weakness in radio that was 9p.

emily, Of the accomplishments already
achieved in the photographic repro

Secretary Hoover said that there is
a threat of international chaos If the
international radio traffic is not CO.
ordinated For Is years the only eX-
istirg agreement between nations has
been the London convention of 1912,
drawn up and signed by 43 nations

NAPOLEON, HOLDS
CENTER OF STAGE
Commander in Chief of
Cantonese Forces Only
80 Years Old.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
SHANGHI, April IA new Napo-
leon has arisen in China.
He is Gen. Chang Kai.shek, COM
mander-in-chief of the Cantonese
armies. Little known to Westerners,
Chang Kai-shek is nevertheless the
commanding figure in China today.
He is the power behind the word"
that makes the Western civilizations
listen with respect to the pronounce
ments of Eugene Chen, the Canton
csc foreign minister.
Under the military genius of
Chang Kai.shek, Cantonese troops
in less than two years have captured
from the North China government
nearly a million square miles of
territory with a population one-and-
a-half times greater than the popu-
lation of the United States. The
sweep of his armies is still continu-
ing unchecked, and many military
authorities believe that within an
other year his troops may have over
run the whole of China and captured
Pekin itself.
And he is still only SO years old.
Intended for Merchant
Born in 1888 in little village be-
tween Hangchow and Ningo, Chang
was not yet year old when his
father died. His mother was very
poor and Chang was turned over to
relatives to raise. 1t was planned
that Chang should become a mer-
chant, but he showed no aptitude for
trade, and was instead sent to mil
itary college and later to the officers
academy. An amazing gift for mill
tary learning was almost immedi-
ately apparent, and he was selected
to be sent to Japan to complete his
military studies under Japanese
officers who had been schooled in the
methods of warfare Of the Western
civilizations,
Turns RevOlutiOnist
In Japan Chang came under the
influence of the late Sun Yat.sen,
founder of the Cantonese reVolu-
tionary movement and later presi-
dent Of the South China government.
He returned to China an ardent rev.
olutionist But no opportunity to
make real use Of his military learn
ing came until years later when he
was appointed by Sun to take charge
of the Whampoa Military College at
Canton. A further opportunity to
expand his knowledge of military
tactics came when Sun sent him to
study the technique Of modern war
