AnniverSary Statement.

in view of the Communists mill
tary supremacy)
Anniversary Statement.
Gen. Chiang's statement, made on
the 38th anniversary of the founding
of the Republic, said:
THE military situation has entered
upon an exceedingly perilous stage
THE fate Of the nation as we'll as
the historical cultural continuity of
our people will soon be decided.
The issue of this struggle is
whether the Chinese people will con-
tinue to live as free men and women
or as slaves, or whether they will
live at all or perish.
Every one is concerned over the
policy the government has pursued
IN dealing with the situation. We
are convinced that patriotic citizens
will not tolerate Communists meth
ods of liquidation and struggle and
that they are not willing to abandon
their liberty and to remain inactive
in this critical moment.
Burdens Increased.
"But we are fully aware that mill
tary operations have increased the
peoples burdens and that they hope
for early conclusion of the war.
Having shouldered the response
bility of national affairs have care
fully studied the situation and have
been giving careful consideration to
the wishes of the people"
Gen. Chang expressed regrets for
failure Of our reconstruction ef-
forts
He recalled that DR.. Sun Yat-sen
once said, "the aim of national re-
construction is peace"
Gen. Chang said, Il did not have
the intention to fight Communists

at the end of the (Japanese) war.
But In a year and a half the Com
munists disregarded every agree
ment, obstructed every peace effort
ever made"
Many Are Disappointed.
1T is my hope" the President
continued, "all patriotic countrymen
will advise me and join hands in
the fight for the sanctity Of the
constitution, maintenance of Chinas
territorial and sovereign integrity
and for continuance Of our culture"
The Presidents year-end state
ment was disappointing to many
who expected it to point out a clear
cut settlement of the war. It did,
however, open the way for negotia-
tion if there is sufficient pressure
to force the President to ask the
Communists for terms.
1t appeared to observers here that
the Presidents statement-while re-
peating many things he had said
previously-did open the path to-
ward his retirement and a nego-
tiated peace by his successor.
1t also was viewed as an attempt
to place the responsibility for the
continuance of the war on the
shoulders of the Communists should
no common ground be found for
peace.
Hopes Of Many Are Dashed.
Hopes for successful negotiations
were dashed for many by Gen.
Cihang's statement that people of
the nation now realize that only by
carrying on this war of self-defense
can real peace be secured"
only by making sacrifices" Gen.
Chang concluded ,"can glorious VIC
tory be won.
In every major and prolonged
battle since I joined the revolution
40 years ago have suffered many
setbacks and been subjected to vi
cious propaganda. No matter how
serious the reverses I have never
lost confidence in the final victory.
THE Communists can wrest from
US the northeast but they can never
subdue our national spirit. The
Communists can penetrate into our
hesrtland but they can never soil
our national character"

In Japan the word has been used
as soap, and older people still say
soap. However. soap now means
soap. or supreme commander for
the Allied Powers, Gen. Macarthur
or in other words, more commonly
general headquarters. Because they
