Figured another way, the cleo
ton cut the Democratic majority
in the House from around 24O
to about 80, and reduced the lead
in the Senate from more than so
to approximately 40. In addition
to capturing control of new state
governments, the Republicans al
so acquired innumerable local of
fices throughout the nation.
These will help in Strengthening
of the Party machinery for the
test that is certain to come in

The Japanese have themselves un-
Willingly hastened this process. 1t
is an interesting paradox that Japan
fought to keep China from becoming
strong, from achieving unity-which
Is precisely the result that the jap
anese campaign seems to be ac-
complishing.
The Japanese have stimulated
Chinese resistance, Chinese unity,
and thus have played into Chiangs
hands. by-among other things-de-
stroying Chinese universities. Because
the students wander hundreds Of
miles, often accompanied by their
teachers, and found new universities
In new regions Of the country. The
Japanese have stimulated Chinese re-
sistance by air-bombing, too, which
has brought the war to back-country
farmers who had scarcely ever heard
Of Japan before.
In the fighting between Shanghai
and Marking, from September to De-
cember, the Chinese are believed to
have suffered no fewer than 100000
dead and wounded. Even in the
World War, no army ever suffered
losses like that. Not even at Verdun,
military experts tell me, were casual
ties so concentrated Yet, hardly
batting an eye, Chang mustered new
divisions, retired bit, and kept on
fighting And he carried the great
bulk of the Chinese people with him.
No sketch of the generalissimo can
be complete without reference to
Meyling Soong, his wife. She by no
means dominates him, as is sometimes
said; he is the boss, not she; but her
graciousness, her competence, her re-
liable and friendly charm, are very
great factors in helping him meet the
burden Of his job.
But the story Of Nine. Chang is
another story.

BY JOHN GUNTHER.

HANKOW, China, May 3 CN.A.N.A.).
The wittiest woman I know said
the other day. walking along the
dugouts on Hankow's sandbagged
main street, There's this to say about
the generalissimo-he has Methodism
in his madness"
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek is
the following things: Commander in
chief Of army, ns-v and air force of
China: president Of the Supreme War
Council, president Of the National
Military Council. president of the
National Aviation Commission, and
"tsungtai," or director general Of the
Koumintang. China's one and only
political party. He is also q psyche
logical puzzle Of great magnitude.
He is the strangest man China has
produced for generations, a terrific
disciplinarian: but the enemies he has
forgiven-and given jobs. too-are
thick as flies. His dominating mission
IN life Is to unite China-but he spent
10 dreary years fighting a series Of
civil wars against his own people. He
Is popular leader Of the rank Of
Mussolini or Stain, but even his
friends say that he is a bad poll
tician-the furthest possible from the
professional back-slapper. He Nils the
China stage; but no one knows the
inside Of his mind
Granite Hard Puritan.
One Of his pronounced traits is a
granite-hard and persuasive Puritan
ism-Methodism If you like He is q
Christian, and members OF his wife's
family. the notable Soongs. are Meth
odists. He has no hobbies. no re-
laxations. He plays no games; he
seldom laughs. His idea Of a really
good time, II he ever had time to
have good time. is lonely walk in
mountain country.
Every Sunday morning in Hankow
occurs remarkable ceremony. It
gives sharp insight into the gen.
eralissimo's character.
About 900 men hop of the Yangtse
ferry, walk briskly to a hall near
Chang Kai-sheks headquarters, file
into the big building and wait. They
DO not have to wait long. The gen.
eralissimo Is punctual He arrives,
salutes, mounts the platform. The
military band plays a march and the
audience comes to attention.
The music stops. then every one
in the hall uncovers and bows three
times to portrait Of DR.. Sun Yat Sen.
the founder of the Chinese Republic.
One-two-three. The bows are made
with the precision Of cheer leaders.
Oficers put caps on again. The gen.
