- probably been in power too long; some Of
them are perhaps reactionary, even corrupt
Others of them are dsillusioned about the
West, and think Chang fool for blindly
p trusting It's. They have all been fighting
against tremendous odds for eight long
years. and they are human
The important fact To remember. how
ever, is that Chang, China's legal leader, Is
himself not only honest and incorruptble-
q sincere patriot, a brave fighter, and an
enemy Of tyranny-but our friend and ally.
He is fighting the same fight we are, in
our camp. His life work of unifying his
people is not yet finished. He wants to carry
out the unifcation of China as determinedly
as Lincoln wanted to preserve the American
union.
From the standpoint Of common sense. IL

The difficulty which We face
today is that in many countries
money has no value, except
speculatively. to assure the ex-
change of labor for goods or
services. For instance. there be-

there can be no German money,
