remember he said China was
prepared to sacrifice everything
and fight to the bitter end to-
achieve peace with honor. He
also said that he was confident
that China would ultimately
gain the victory" Colonel Tchou
began. ~
"You see how our plan has
worked out. We deliberately
drew the japanese as far into
the vast. cold interior Of China
as We could, fighting a war OF
attrition.
'1T'S WORTH IT"
"Our plan was to combine q
frontal war with guerilla war
fare, for which the Chinese are
famous. We knew this meant
losing some provinces and citi-
zenS, but in the end, would be
worth it,"
Colonel Tchou had some i'm
preSSive figures to build up his ar
gument.
China has million and a
half men under arms today, and
900, 900 more in training. In ad-
dition, we are prepared to arm
$4,000, 900 peasants for guerilla
fighting. While We maintain a
war along a 1900 mile. front,

instituted a draft in her puppet

Tchou admitted that this was
due to both the drain on the
Japanese army in China and the
growing fear of the might of Rus

Reaches Seven
Year High

Permanency of Imperial Valley,
assured when the Boulder Dam
and All-American canal were built
has been stressed during the past
year in the building industry in
E. Centre, Don Davis, assistant
city engineer pointed out SAT-
Thirty-one new homes have been
built in Ell Centro through Sept
ember first. Davis said, and valu
alton of homes average more than
$4,000.
Only twenty-six homes were con-
structed during the entire year in
1887, Davis said. and 81 had been
constructed by September /.
There is every reason to believe
that the building of homes will
pick up materially during the next
three months.
The increased valuation of new
homes being constructed in the
city. Davis said, is due, in part,
to the FILA loans and lower down
payments made possible by the
loans.
Labor and building materials
are slightly higher than they have
been in the past but the average
OF more than $4,000 per house more
than makes up for the difference
in building costs.
Homebuilding has contributed
$130,936 of the total $226,745 in
building permits, Davis said.
Alteration and home repair in
the city is slightly higher than
last year, according to the assist
ant city engineer.

a suitable place in which the chill

Through the Federal Housing

one may obtain funds through

the borrower to pay cash for the
