Someday We'll throw them out-in-
to the sea-"
Referring to the Japanese and
their invasion of his native coun-
try, Yu Pin Wang, son of the late
General I. Che Wang, of the staff
Of Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek,
summed up the point of view of the
rising China of the future in an in
terview with the Herald Friday.
The young Chinese student, of
Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
said that only the lack of prepara-
ton and of machines was defeating
China. Her manpower could long
outlast that Of Japan's, be believes.
China couldn't avoid this war
Japan was bound to come" he said.
But, he pointed out, that if China
had had another five years to pre-
pare, wed have pushed them into
the sea-" For five years before the
outbreak the Central Government,
under Chang Kai-Shek, had pre-
pared, foreseen the coming war.
II heard my father talk of it Often"
he said.
One thing, he believes, the jap
anese invasion accomplished. It
brought China to a closer unity; it
stopped internal strife.
His education in America is a
part of that preparation against
the future, a part of the future Of
a unified China.
But this same education, while
1t helps secure the future of China,
endangers his own life. He puts it
this way: II can't go where the
Japanese have control when I re-
turn to China. When they see me
with an American education, they
will say: He's no good for the jap
anese.' They won't let me live"
Several times during the course
Of the talk he broke off, resignedly,
with the present situation. He
shrugged his shoulders, a quiE1ical
smile broke as If he were unable to
understand the plight Of his coun-
try, and he spoke, Very bad" But
he has the patience that character
ICES China.
Fearful for China's present, he
represents the attitude for the
future. Patient waiting, training
and education, analysis of China's
problems-then strike and drive
them (the Japanese) into the sea-"
It's always Into the sea-" He real
ICES China's hopeless unprepared-
ness for the inevitable Japanese in
vasion, but he sees in it more
unified China.
Significant was his statement,
that China, to attain complete
unity, must be rid not only of the
japanese but also of the Chinese
Communists.
His father was killed by the
Chinese Communists during the
last stages of internal strife that
waged between the Central Govern
ment and the Communists in the
interior. The incident was about
two years ago when the General
issimo Chang Kai-Shek fell into
the hands of the Communists. Cen
eral I. Che Wang secured his re-
lease. Then, unable to conclude a
peace because of the unreasonable
demands of the Communists, Yu
Pin said, his father lost his life.
"They killed him during the con-
ference" he said.
At that time the Japanese shad-
ow of invasion was rising-China
knew it was coming and soldiers
of the Central Government were
voicing their protest at fighting in
ternally. They wanted to fight the
Japanese.
The late European crisis was a
severe blow to the Chinese cause,
Yu Pin pointed out. When Mr..
Chamberlain, British foreign minis
ter, concluded the "so-called peace"
with Hitler, he termed it, allowing
the German cleavage of Czechoslo-
vakia, Japan watched with interest.
When England yielded to Germans
demands for the Sudeten lands, Ja-
pan no longer feared England. She
moved troops into the important
to the Chinese-ports of Canton and
Hongkong, bottling up the Yangste
River. These ports had previously
been under British protection.
Said Yu Pin, "Mr. Chamberlain
not only sold out Czechoslovakia, he
sold out China"
The Chinese student came to this
city Thanksgiving Day accompany
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Pape and
Miss Kate Selensky, Of Waverly,
Iowa. They were guests at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Rattle.
