Chines 1st Lady Call; for More Aid to Crush he

Japanese. (Continued from Page on 8)

¥ sophical advice from a nation long

torn by war to one barely initiated in its hardships: “From five and a half ve ars of experience, we in China are con-

vinced that it is the better part of wisdom not to accept failure ignominiously, but to risk it gloriously.

“We shall have faith that, at the}

writing of peace, America and our other gallant allies will not Ee deluded by the mirage of contingent reasons of expediency. “Man’s mettle is tested both in adversity and in success. is this true of the soul of a nation.”

Sees a Damoclés Sword

Mme. Chiang left no doubt that her mission here, now that her treatment for an old injury has been pronounced successful, is to convince Americans that the Japanese are no less a .dangero foe than the Germans. She prefaced her review of Japanese strength with this Chinese Saying: “It takes little eff to watch the other fellow carry the load.” =

y- The prevailing opinion now, she

added, seems to consider the defeat of the Japanese as of relative unimportance and that Hitler is our

first concern.

“This is not borne out by actual facts,” she said, “nor is it to the interests of the united nations as a whole to allow Japan to continue,

‘not only as a vital potential threat

but as a waiting sword of Damocles, eady to descend at a moment's nodoe:

“Iapunese military i be

decimated as a fighting force before its threat to civilization is oved.” She praised the American naval victories at Midway and the Coral seas but emph that “they are merely steps in the right direction.” The six months battle at Guadalcanal attests to the fact, she said, that the defeat: of evil [forces, “though long and arduous, will finally come to pass.” But, she warned congress: “Let us not forget that Japan in her occupied areas today has |greater resources at her command than Germany.

China Bore Burden Alone

“Let us not forget that the longer Japan is left in undisputed possession of these resources, the stronger she must become. | Each passing day takes more 11 in lives of both Americans and Chinese. “Let us not forget that during dhe rst four and 2 half v s of total aggression, China has | borne Japan’s sadistic fury unaided and alone.” She told the 78th congress that as its predecessor had discharged its duty in 1941 by declaring on f the present congress is to help the war and to create and uphold a lasting peace which will [justify the sacrifices and sufferings of the victims of aggression—to help construct a world in which all people may henceforth live in ny and peace. “May I not hope that it is the resolve of congress to devote itself to the operation of .the t-war world?” she said. “To dedicate itself to the preparation for the brighter future that a world so eagerly awaits? “We of this generation who are privileged to help make a better world for ourselves and for terity should remember that, while we must not be visionary, we must have vision so that people [should not be punitive in spirit and should not be provincial or ‘nationalistic or even continental in t, but universal in scope and h itarian in action. oe so : 4 “Since international -dependence is now so universally recognized, can we not say that all nations should me members of one corporate body?

China Eager to Help

F “I can, .. assure you China is eager and ready to te with you and other peoples to lay a true and lasting foundation for a sane and progressive world society

s which would make it impossible for

any arrogant or predatory neighbor to plunge future generations into another orgy of blood. ... | ¥ “we in China, like you, want a better world, not for ourselves, but have it. It is not enough, however, to proclaim our ideals or even to be convinced that we have them. In order to preserve, uphold and maintain them, there are times when we should throw all we cherish into our effort to fulfill these ideals even at the risk of failure.”

RESTRICTIONS FOR HAWAIIANS RELAXED

HONOLULU, Feb. 18 (U. P).— Hawaiians today were reminded of the responsibility that is theirs with the restoration of .certain civil functions to the government. Governor Ingram M. Stainback, in his message to the opening of Hawaii's legislature yesterday, warned that the future of the territory and its government depends largely on the record of the present legislature and administration. He said that during the 15 months since Pearl Harbor Hawaii's people have shown a capacity to meet stern tests and “we must demonstrate our capacities for self-government equal to thé confidence w the national officers have sh us. I have confidence that we, will meet the challenge of these difficult days— we will not fail.”

U.S. Press Agents Flayed by Dewey

ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 18 (U. P.). —Governor Thomas E. Dewey's latest attack on the domestic policies of President Roosevelt was directed today against “the lofty confusions of 10,000 press agents in the national capital.” The governor, addressing the Association of Towns last night, promised that his administration would do its utmost to restore the strength of local government. “I hope,” he said, “this admin-

- istration can help to re-educate

the people to the faith that no power of government can be stronger than its foundations. I hope we can educate them away from the lofty confusions of 18, 000 press agents in the national capital and rebuild their faith in the ability of the people to solve their problems at home.”

against the state health board list’ of registered slaughter houses. Meat wholesalers not classified as “registered” will vestigated immediately. Heavy Penalty Possible Indiana law requires registration of all slaughterers, but wartime meat

supply conditions have attracted a number of “wholesalers” into the

beef market here, who have made] grive

no attempt to comply with Fogiatration or sanitary regylations, Mr Huggins believes. Slaughterers found guilty of operating under. insanitary conditions will be subject to fines of not more than $2000 and sentences of not more than two years.

Mr. Huggins reported that the n

tracing of “non-registered” meat dealers through systematic quizzing of retail butchers had proved “very effective” in South Bend, only other city in the state subject so far to combined health-board and OPA investigation.

Says “Cleanup” Needed

J. C. Schneider, chief of the state food and drug bureau, said the “black market” probe also would furnish the health board an opportunity to “clean up” the meat sanitation situation here, which he described as being “pretty bad in the past. » . Infiltration of low-grade diseased animals into some places, he ime plied, had reached the stage where routine meat inspection might possibly be insufficient. A difficult problem confronting “blacket market” probers, he added, is that arising from sale of illicitly slaughtered meat to restaurants. Managers of some public eating places in the state, he said, were

found to be among the most fre-}

quent patronizers of unregulated meat suppliers.

Farmers Not Offenders

Many of these restaurateurs, of course, were, and still are unaware of the fact that they are serving products killed on the black market. Contrary to general opinion, farmers are seldom found to be meat black market offenders, Mr.|2 Huggins declared. By far the majority of illegal meat sale violators are professional tradesmen, wellschooled commercial methods of operating ‘“on the fringe of the: law,” he thinks. 3 Just about all “black markets” however, are situated outside city environs, he pointed out. In the South Bend area, he said, unauthorized meat wholesalers had set up slaughter houses in rural garages, basements of newly-purchased suburban homes and in “some of the remotest and unsuspected woodland places.” Often, he reported, small “neighborhood” slaughterers were given away by obnoxious odors emanating from their enterprises. Many of these small operators” were actually guilty only of “ignorance,” he

said.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 (U. P.).— Congressmen who are accustomed to meeting the world’s celebrities

day before the visit to the capitol of Madame Chiang Kai-shek. In a special dither were Chairman Tom Connally (D. Tex.) of the senate foreign relations committee and Chairman Sol Bloom (D. N. Y,) of the house foreign affairs committee, who were hosts at a special luncheon after Mme, Chiang addressed congress. Bloom showed more signs of worry lest something go ‘wrong than Connally. Selection of the guest list was understood to have caused them the most trouble since everybody in congress wanted to be there. Another man who did considerable worrying was D. A. Darling, manager of the senate restaurant, who was in charge of all arrangements for the luncheon which was served in the gold-leafed senate foreign relations ‘committee room, Darling announced the following menu: Fresh grapefruit cocktail, hot beef consomme with 6 noodles, olives, celery, salted nuts, chicken-
