 Assuring her listeners of the ability of the Chinese people to hold in the face of apparently nsuperable difficulties if China is given the necessary equipment now, Mime. Chiang explained that she had encouraged them Ito believe that after victory the world system would be entirely altered that would all be free peoples and that nations strong weak would deal fair ly and square y with each other
 If people and army had not been induced to be- lieve this, she asserted, the far as China Is concerned would have been over long year ago. have faith that from the crucxon experienced in this the democraces will learn the lesson that prevention better than cure that 1t is better to prevent wars than win wars. But only be prevented if the world society is so constituted that all races given equal opportunity to develop their native genius not hamper ed but aided by stronger and more advanced races.

Children Must
Salute Flag

PHOENIX, Jan. 15-(UP)-Par-
ents who order their children not
to salute the American flag may
be prosecuted for contributing to
the delinquency of minor, the
Arizona supreme court ruled in a
decision handed down jan. IL.
The decision was made in an &C
ton against Mr.. and Mrs. e. v.
Davis, members of the Jehoyah's
Witnesses sect. It stated that par
ents violated the constitutional
guarantee Of freedom Of religious
worship by commanding their chill
dren not to salute the flag.
The count held that parents may
not be prosecuted if they merely
"teach or instruct their children
that to salute the flag is contrary
to the laws Of God"
But unless the children salute the
flag. they may be expelled from
school under a recent United States
Supreme court decision.
