SUGGESTS CURES
 FOR CHINAS ILLS
Missionary Would End Commu'
 niSm and War Lords Power

The two biz problems facips chfns today. and which the Southern and Nationalist armies will have to settle. is to get rid of the influence of com. munism and of the war lords in the north, according to Rev. Charles E. Ewing. a missionary who with his family was with Rev. A. D. Hein- finger and family in Techow, China and who returned with the Heining- CTS May e3. Rev. and Mrs. Ewin are weekend guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas A. Johnston at Maple Hill. Mrs. Johnston is niece of the missionary
 Although the missionaries in Te- chow did not see any actual fight ing in the present situation. like the Heininger family they have been un- der fire in previous unpleasant situa- tions. MT. Ewing became . mission- ary under the Jurisdiction of the American Board of Foreign Mis- sions in 1894 and has been through the Boxer uprising.
 He says there is little doubt that the Nationalist army will eventually rid itself entirely of the influence of the Russian Reds. but he cannot pre- dict when this will happen. He ex- poets to see 1t happen before the end of the present summer.
 The other thing the Nationalist army must do before it will be able 10 organize things to the best inter- ests Of the Chinese people, is to rid the country of the war lords of the north, who are fighting to maintain their own selfish interests, he says.
 These war lords have retreated now to the northeastern section above the Yellow river, and while inferior in numbers to the others. are concentrating their forces in a smaller area. Mir. Ewing says it Is not the Chinese policy however to fight it out but that if they see they cannot win they may stop fighting.
 According to the Chinese idea of Saving face" which really means saving prestige. they may be willing to talk terms when the time comes for surrender Mir. Ewing does not expect the war to last much longer. One of the things which remains within the range of immediate pos abilities is the danger of the sol- diers in the northern army revolting. Their friends and families sympa- thize with the southern army and it's program and a revolt is not un- likely. he feels.
 The unequal treaties, while still in existence, are more or less in abey- ance at this time, MP. Ewing says. He says they never will be restored on their former basis Germany has lost her rights there when China de- clared war and Russia because of her communistic activities. He thinks the United States should ap- point delegates to talk treaties at this time and permit the Chinese people to designate who will repre- sent their government.
 As soon as the war comes to . close it will be necessary to form an entirely new governmental or 6AIllLalioLt 4lS oASo1 oiCAOA6H tAAAS , will be patterned after the policy of the Nationalist party.
 Mir. and Mrs. Ewing are in Ameri- ca on a years furlough. They hope to return to China at tho end of the year.
 Mir. Ewing has brought with him a copy of the North China Star. which Is an American newspaper, published in Tientsin in the English language. The paper has a date line in the Chinese language and the rest is printed in English. It is like the American newspapers and con- tains live news. advertising showing that the most modern releases in motion pictures are being shown in China, sport l ages, joke columns and modern comedy services similar to those used in this country.
