For the second time in IL years Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek has been appointed president of
China. The recent death of Lin Sen made the gen.
eralissimo likely choice for the post from which
he resigned in 1882 to devote all his time to
the war
This leader of nearly one quarter of the worlds
population seems to combine the patience preached
by ancient Chinese philosophers with the eff
cheney of a modern American business execu-
tive. His gigantic country which once seemed
certain to fall before Japan's machine. is
gradually being transformed from a numbering
backward mass of illiterate peasants into mas
sive fighting nation which is pushing the invader
back home with his own technique.
Chang Kai-shek, one-man model of new China,
lives plainly. eating simple wholesome foods, st
tending few social functions, and adhering to
rigid full daily schedule which rarely varies.
Through the battle campaigns, interviews, and tp-
ternational discussions, he remains calm
His number aid is his wife, May-fng Sooug
