BORODIN SAYS CHINESE MUST SINKOR SWIM Revolution Places Choice of Freedom or Bondage Before Nation. EDITOR'S NOTE—The political and military progress of the Nationalist movement in China has shaken the Far East and may yet shake the world. In an endeavor to get a closer view of men and events, the United Press sent Randall Gould. Peking manager, to Hankow. more than a thousand miles up the Yangtze River, to report on developments. This is the first of a series of seven illuminating articles, describing how the Nationalist movement appears, not from the vantage point of Washington, or London, but from the interior of China. BY RANDALL GOULD United Press Staff Correspondent HANKOW, July 6.—China must elect either to fall back into the easy path of purposeless expediency, or to stride up the steeper revolutionary highway to eventual freedom. This, in broad outline, sketches the present situation in China as visualized by Michael M. Borodin, High Advisor to the Nationalist Government here. Borodin has a mind filled with seemingly inexhaustible detail, but he likewise has the gift of generalizing his findings. At the present time of crisis it is the eventual outcome upon which he fixes his eye. “We have achieved little or nothing as yfit; the great work lies ahead,’’ says Borodin. “In Kwangtung province to the southward we made a start. “Our movement must of necessity be nation-wide. When it has sp.ead over the entire country we can proceed to the constructive task which must be done unless China is to reconcile herself to a continuation of the bondage of past years. “Shall individual ambitions, foreign intrigues, the Chapei-Bund financial web at Shanghai, be allowed to bind China to old ways? Or shall the Chinese assert themselves as a people? That is the choice with which China is confronted.” Neither from Borodin nor from any other of the Hankow Government officials can any seeker for, sensational communistic outpourings gain satisfactory “copy”. Not Ready For Communism Borodin himself is a communist from Soviet Russia; yet, like the former Soviet Ambassador Karakhan in Peking, he declares that China today is not ready for communism. When he speaks of the new path which China may follow if she so chooses, he does not mean any such extreme course as his enemies have attributed to him. In an interview with the United Press in Peking before the famous “Northern Expidition” started from Canton, Borodin made this clear. “Our program is, and has been, the party program of the Kuomintang,” he declares. ‘"Phis is not a communistic program. It is a program so moderate as to seem almost backward when compared with the programs of many ‘copitalistic governments operating in countries which are farther advanced. “China is a country which is itself backward; a country where we must make up for much lost time during which other nations have pushed forward. We must first provide such elemental things as good government, honesty of administration, safety of life and property, roads, harbors.” Difficulties Numerous In different parts of the country, vastly different factors and problems are encountered, Borodin points out. Kwantung province, where the movement was bred has a population overwhelmingly agricultural, for example. When the movement reached the Yangtze it encountered a considerable industrial population, many years advanced beyond the Kwantung situation, and the problem v/as complicated by years of past labor oppression. When the Nationalists removed the “lid” from these workers there was a sudden and natural boiling over, hard to control. Furthermore, Borodin continues, there is an increasingly complex state of affairs as one looks downriver toward Shanghai. Factors Vary, Choice Same It is this selfish attitude which has given the Chiang Kai-shek his support in what the Hankow Nationalists term a “rebellion,” various Government leaders here assert. In the north still other factors will be encountered and in every in-

stance, Borodin points out, the Chinese people must themselves consider all factors and decide whether the revolution is worth while. “The choice is plain,” says Borodin. “China must pick her own course. She can perhaps slip back into old ways, at least for a timer and be the loser. Or she can gain a great victory by fighting on for a new, united, independent country freed from foreign domination.”
47-YEAR OLD NAVAL OFFICER IS AVIATOR Turns From Submarine Salvaging to Flying, Despite Age Bit United Pre* WASHINGTON, July 6.—Aviation is supposed to be a youngster's sport—or business. But a naval officer 47 years old has just qualified as a flier after a period of training at the Pensacola, Fla., naval air station, and can skim about the air with the best of the youngsters. This is Captain E. J. King. King was the officer in charge of the salvaging operations of the illfated submarine, S-51, which went down off Block Island, and for his success in raising and docking the vessel was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. As he was awarded the Navy Cross for his world war service, he is the only naval officer who has both decorations.

The following testimonials show what the Compound has done for other schoolgirls. _
NERVOUS AND DIZZY Charleston, Illinois:— “I gave my fifteen-year-old girl Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it did her a wonderful lot of good. She was nervous, weak and dizzy. At last she was so bad off that she was out of school for four months. The Vegetable Compound has improved her in every way and she has gone back to school. I recommend the Vegetable Compound to other mothers with girls who are not as strong as they should be. ” Mrs. Alice Louthan, Route 2, Charleston, Illinois.

AL SMITH AND DAN MOODY IS TIPdNTICKET Texan’s Trip Through East Starts Rumors Floating on 1928 Slate. BY C. J. LILLEY WASHINGTON, July 6.—Governor Dan Moody is back in his executive mansion in Texas, leaving behind him in the ea%a trail of political rumors that has many a politician guessing. Governor Moody, who is 33, tall and slender with blond curly hair, rightly has been dubbed by one newspaper writer as the Lindbergh of American politics. He Just has completed a tour of leading American cities at the head of a trainload of 125 enthusiastic Texans out to boost their State. Somewhere in the middlewest a rumor was started that Moody would go into national politics next year. The original report was that he would be the running mate of Governor A1 Smith of New York. Governor Moody scoffed at the rumors, saying he only was trying to help his State industrially on a good will tour. Boomed to Skies The rumors persisted and grew as the Texas Special moved from city to city. Finally they began to expand. Moody for United States Senator. Moody for President. The more enthusiastic his friends became, the higher the office that he was credited with seeking. Governor Moody went through the good will trip with the same poise that Col. Charles A. Lindbergh went through the European and American receptions after epochal flight. The Governor smiled and blushed like a bashful boy whenever he was approached with political talk of a national nature. In New York he met Governor A1 Smith, but no one can ge tany political satisfaction out of that meeting. The two were thrown together

for a few minutes, went through the usual formalities, and that was all. Plays Lone Hand Nor was there any secret conferences in New York and Washington between the Texas Governor and national politicans. Governor Moody plays a lone hand in politics. When he made up his mind to run for attorney general, he didn’t whisper about it in dark corners. He stepped boldly forth and conducted a winning fight. When he announced for Governor, he did it just as bodly and fought it out just as successfully. If Governor Moody makes up his mind to run for the United states Senate, the vice presidency, or the presidency, he’ll give everyone fair warning and he’ll have with him an issue that will attract national attention;
