RESISTANCE SEEN
BY CHINA TO END
Dr.. Hu-shih Tells Women
News Writers That De-
mocracy Is Stake.

DR.. Hu-shih, Chinese statesman and
advisor to Gen. Chang Kai-shek, told
members of the Newspaper Woman's
Club yesterday that China, whatever
may befall, is determined to fight on;
not only through this winter but
throughout the years, If necessary.
While Marking is held as a most
strategic point, and Japanese might
hail the fall of Nanking as complete
victory. the Chinese would regard
government evacuation of that city
in the same light that France and
Belgium and other nations during
the World War abandoned their capi-
tails, this Chinese student and philoso-
pher told the newspaper women and
many distinguished guests assembled
at the Admiral.
DR.. Hu-shih also discounted all talk
of the possibility of Chinese subgen-
erals starting peace move with ia
pan.. He said, at the present time,
because Japan controls the news
sources at Peking and Shanghai,
most of the dispatches out Of those
two cities should be taken with
grain of salt"
Sees Outside Mediation.
If and when peace comes between
the two powers-China and Japan
the speaker said, it will be brought
about through the mediation of some
great power, or combination Of
world powers, that can be trusted by
the Chinese people; either that or by
mediation of the nine-power con-
ference at Brussels.
AS he brushed aside most Of the ex-
plantations made for Japan's invasion
of China, DR.. Hu-shih simmered all
the issues involved down to two major
ones:
l. Chinese nationalism VS.. japanese
imperialism.
q International anarchy VS.. world
order.
In expounding his first premise DR..
Hu-shih sketched the nationalistic
movement in China and said the
Chinese had, after many years effort,
woven together united people-only
to be frustrated in this work by their
nearest neighbor. He told Of the open
door policy, first formulated by John
Hay, of its working agreement with
the trading powers of the world, and
of a part Of the policy that is some
times forgotten by most people; name
ly, the pledge to keep China free and
independent. He said Japan had at
tempted to prevent the meeting Of
LAO delegates to a constitutional con-
vention-and that primary elections,
to have been held July 20, last year,
were anticipated by the japanese in
vasion two weeks beforehand-on
July Z.
Warns Democracies.
So far as world order Is concerned,
DR.. Hu-shih pointed out that every
democracy on the earth has need for
deep worry over what is happening in
the Far East. He said already there
are manifestations that the world is
wary of another international conflict
which may embroil all nations. As
proof, he cited the rearmament Of
England, Russia, and even the United
States. Putting the dictatorial gov
ernments on one side and the DEM
ocracies on the other. the speaker
said it is time to heed President Will
sons phrase, Make the world safe
for democracy"
The last 20 years prove" he con-
cluded, that the world has not been
made safe for democracy" and asked
the question: What kind of world
order do we want, and will any escape
from the results of international
anarchy?"
Mrs. Ned Brunson Harris, president
Of the Newspaper Woman's Club, pre-
sided and introduced Mrs. Eugene
Meyers, who was q classmate of DR..
Hu-shih at Columbia University prior
to the World War. Mrs. Meyer in
troduced the speaker.
