STATE LICENSES
 1856 ENGINEERS
Qualifications for Entering Field High, Yale Pro-
 lessor Asserts

Hartford, Conn, March 16-As- serting that qualifications for enter ing the engineering field in Con- necticut are high and stating that a total of 1856 individuals have been licensed by the present board Professor Charles F. Scott of Yale University, chairman of the State Registration Board, said to the members of the Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers at their annual convention here this morning that certificates have been granted to 981 professional engineers, IF to land surveyors and combined cer- tificates 436. He stated that the registration of engineers is now in force in three -fourths of the states. He alluded to the engineers of d century ago who built canals and railroads and mills and water wheels, but who had no diplomas and belonged to no societies.
 'They were the rough and ready type" said Professor Scott. Now the law provides one group, profess sional engineers. but obviously there are many special kinds. The general registration movement has given impetus to higher quality in our engineering schools throughout the country. Many applicants have found wherein they arc deficient and have set about to qualify to meet the requirements. The present Connecticut law became effective about two years ago."

Communists have been and will
continue to be indispensable to Gen.
Chang Kai-shek in his struggle
against Japanese encroachment. Be-
fore the present war he bitterly op-
posed the Communist movement
and made several attempts to ex-
terminate it, but now his attitude
must necessarily be one Of concilia-
ton and compromise. China's SAL
vation is unity. When the Reds
offered their cooperation, Chang
Kai-shek accepted it.
But 1t Is a mistake to imagine
that the, Chinese Communists are
working hand In glove with Russia.
Although their program of agrarian
reform and communal enterprise
resembles that of the Moscow re-
gime, they are not under the di-
rection of the Moscow leaders. China
turned to Russia when all the other
nations deserted her, but the China
Russia accord is a mere political
and perhaps in time a military ex-
pedient. It does not mean that
Communism will overrun China"
Survives All Crises.
Mr.. Chatf1eld told how the Yale
in-China educational and medical
work has survived all the crises
which have shaken the Chinese peo-
pie since the revolution of 1911.
'The Yale-in-China High School, !"
he said, was established in 1905 by
DR.. Brownell Gage, DR.. Edward H.
Hume, DR.. William J. Halle, Warren
Seabury and Rev. DR.. Anson Phelps
Stokes, now canon of Washington
Cathedral. It's location was at
Changsha, capital of Human Prov
ince, 200 miles from Hankow and
400 miles from Canton. But now,
because Of the Japanese invasion,
some of the work has been moved
west and south. A branch of the
boys preparatory school, known as
the Yali Union Middle School, had
been established at Yuenling, $50

miles west, last spring. The entire
school was reorganized there this
fall. Meanwhile Central China Col
lege was removed from Wuchang to
Kweilin, the teachers and scholars
with their equipment being trans
ferred between July II and August
23-a 600-mile trek successfully
completed In spite Of bad weather,
air raids and many other difficul-
ties.
Our medical center, hospital,
oEt-patient clinic and nursing school
remain In operation at Changsha
What the future will hold nobody
knows, but Yale-in- China will con-
tinue its work as long as possible,
regardless Of the war;"

japanese Invasion
Intont|usive, Says
Missionary
YoIe-in-Chino Field
Secretary Says War
Will Be Long One
BY JAMES WALDO FAwCETT.

Oy SANAGo VALOO rAVCGA - Z
The Japanese invasion of China
thus far has been inconclusive, ac-
cording to Minotte M. Chatfield,
field secretary of Yale-in- China,
now visiting in Washington.
Imperial japanese army forces" !"
Mr.. Chatfield said yesterday, ARE
arrayed along line of battle that
extends from Suituan Province,
northwest of Peking, southwark
through ShanSi, Hopei, Honan, HUI
peh to Hunen, thence eastward
through Kiangsi and Chekiang to
the coast and finally down the coast
to Canton in the south, distance
of several thousand miles. To re-
sist the Japanese invasion along
this extensive front the Chinese
plan of battle is to employ her vast
man power to maintain pressure on
the Japanese front lines while car
rying on relentless guerilla cam
paign in the territory nominally
under Japanese control, constantly
harassing the small Japanese gar
risons and making even more pre-
carious the invaders tenuous lines
of communication"
Long Struggle Seen.
The struggle may continue for a
generation or even more, Mr.. Chat
field believes. Japan" he explained,
will keep pushing westward con-
sistently, but there will be no final
settlement in 5 years or 10 years.
Meanwhile the japanese realize that
Chinese resistance is by no mean
crushed. In order to achieve COM
plete victory the Japanese must ex-
tend their sway over the entirety Of
China. That would require men,
machines and money-more than
Evening star., 1938-12-16

Japan has available or can acquire
under present conditions"
Mr.. Chatfield frankly avowed his
fear of Japanese control Of the
.Asiatic mainland. IF Japan were
successful in the conquest Of China," /"
he declared, "the rest of the world
may well be alarmed. Japan Is not
an enlightened nation. She is con-
trolled by a military clique rep
resenting inperialistic ambitions.
Should she havs the power to use
Chinese men as she, now Is using
Korean and Manchu1tan men + u
her armies, she could dictate TO the
whole Orient and threaten both
Europe and America. Tits IA open
secret that Japan wants territory
now held by Great Britain, France,
Russia, the Netherlands and the
United States. China is really fight
ing the battle of all these countries" !"
Internal Upheaval Possible.
Asked about the possibilities of
an internal upheaval In Japan, Mr..
Chatfield answered: Something like
that may happen because of the
heavy burdens the Japanese COM
moners are called upon to bear be-
cause of the war"
The importance and the influ-
ence of Communists in China have
been exaggerated, In MIR. Chatfield's
opinion. Because of Japanese
propaganda" he said, Americans
have been led to think that a red
star hangs over China, but the
number of Communists in China
numbers only about 10000, ,O00-a
figure which is not very large when
1t is remembered that China boasts
400,000,000 to 450, ,000,0 900 inhabitants.
"On the other hand, there is no
use in denying that the Communists
are force to be reckoned with.
They have powerful army, trained
to high state of efficiency in the
tactics of guerilla warfare-strategic
retreat and avoidance of decisive
engagements when decision is
likely to be unfavorable; sudden,
swift and unexpected onslaughts,
the cutting off and destruction of
small ,detachments of enemy forces,
raids on communication lines to in
terrupt the flow of supplies. These
methods have been employed with
telling effect upon the Japanese in
North China.
