G General ssimo Makes
Strong Appeal For Dem
ocratic Form OF Govt.

CHUNGKING. Sept. 3-P)-
Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek called on China's wildly
celebrating millions tonight to
Crown their victory over ia
pan by building a new, united
China as "a model democrat
ic state in the Far East.
Now that the eight years of bit
ter warfare are over, Chang said
in VI message, I'VE shall brook
no further delay in the inaugura-
ton of constitutional democracy.
In partial concession to Com
munist demands, the war leader
said the government would consult
leaders of all parties before con.
voking the National Assembly al
an early date.
He promised equal legal status
to all parties, but declared that
private armies or armies of poll
ii parties could not be tolerated
within China's borders.
To workers and farmers, he
pledged a better livelihood, with
greater employment; to war vet
Grams, he offered grants Of farm
land; and to the people generally
he promised freedom of speech
and Of person.
Chang told his people frankly
that Jour foundation as modern
state is the weakest among the
United Nations"
1.-THE most important condition
for national unity is the national
ization of all armed forces"
Chang declared, adding:
''Disreputable practices like the
employment of armed forces in po-
litical controversy and seizure OF
territory in defiance of government
orders are relics of the days OF
the warlords. they could not be
tolerated in national rebuilding"
The Communists with whose
leader, Mao Tse-Tsung, the Gen
eralissimo has been comforting
here-have demanded that the AS
sembly be convoked by an all
party conference, rather than by
Chiang's government party alone.
They also have made it clear
they will not disband their army
until they receive an effective
share in the government.

But as the Eighth Army poured

More liberated prisoners were

HOLLAND MARINES
COMING TO DAVIS

Officials of the Royal Neither
lands Marine Corps at Camp Davis
disclosed yesterday afternoon that
511 members of the Dutch Marine
Corps landed at New York Mon
day on the Troopship Alcott. These
Marines will be sent directly to
Camp Davis for training.
This will be the first contingent
of Dutch Marines to move from
shipboard direct to Camp DAVIS
since the movement of the man
body was started from Camp Le-
ieune about two weeks ago. Al
though all of the Dutch Marines
have not been moved from Camp
Lejeune, about 1000 now are sta
toned at Camp Davis.
The movement of the balance OF
the Dutch Marines from Camp Lee
ieune will depend on the training
progress made at Camp Davis.
There is another hitch in the plans
of the Netherlands Marine Corps,
Although no official orders have
been received at Camp Davis con-
corning the stay of foreign troops
in the United States in peace
time, the future of the training
program may hinge on this point
of international law, which per-
mits occupations of this nature
for period of three months. This
may mean that the main body OF
troops may be moved to the Dutch
East Indies as forces. of occupa'
ton. There is a possibility also
that some of these troops may be
transferred back to their native
Hol- md.

Labor unions and veterans

today by many persons in
Washington who have worried
over the employment problems

say that:

When the showdown will come,
no one can say. But it may be

This bill has the support of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars. And
the American Legion, while not
specifically endorsing the Knutson

On the other hand, organized lab

The Knutson bill would give vet
