neSe aggression.
That resistance, still q for
midable obstacle TO Nippon's
frenzied dreams OF conquest. has
been exemplified most brilliantly
by Madame Chang Kai-S hek.
China's remarkable woman
leader, through her enormous
energy, her understanding and
the sheer manufacturers OF her
courage, has proved a continuous
inspiration to her people.

ang Kai-Shek absorbed the
American spirit. the American
way of doing things.
Returning to China after her
graduation in 1917. she began
applying new ideas to old tradi-
lions. She married. set about
innoculating In China's leaders
a realistic approach to their
country's problems.
1t was her special resolve to
free her land OF the graft and
corruption which had torn
China asunder, to rout out stu
pidity and laziness. to build
China into a great self-respect-
ing. independent modern state.
To an extraordinary degree
she has succeeded. Her influence
and power and inflexable de-
termination have brought about
China's comeback.
Because of that influence and
power and determination japan
has found a tarter in China. Ex-
pecting a quick surrender, in &C
cordance with China's tradi-
tional weakness and indiffer-
ence, Japan found to her sur
prise a people united In a spirit
of nationalism, resolved to de-
fend their homes and their land
TO the end against the invader.

P. McNear, jr, president of the

ment a second time today on

ployes in connection with union ac-
tivity.
Another Federal indictment yes
terday charged three trainmen with
violating the Federal Train Wreck
ing Act and the National Explosives
Act by attempting to blow up q

strike. These defendants were Paul
Brokaw of Cleveland, an agent for
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen, and Harold
j. Dilley and Delmar Newdigate,
both of Peoria, two of the striking
trainmen.
Mr.. McNear lost control Of the

kuk, Iowa, when he refused to arbi-
trate a labor dispute between the
management and the Brotherhoods
OF Railroad Trainmen and Locomo-
