China's Spirit Unbroken

FOREIGN AGGRESSION DOOMED TO FAILURE Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. 1 ‘To-day China is fighting for international and social justice, and is equally opposed to Imperialism, on the ono hand, and Communism, on the other,” said Mr. Chunliow H Pao (Consul for China in New Zealand) at the 22nd anniversary celebration in Wellington to-day of the founding of tho republic. “China has withstood the onslaughts of attacking armies in bygone centuries because the Chinese national spirit cannot be broken. Nationalism, to the Chinese to-day, is not only a creed but a passion and a religion. There are ample evidences to show that China is trying to concentrate her national energy and work unitedly to resist, foreign aggression, like that adopted and practised by tho Japanese, which is doomed to failure. “The policy of tho present Chinese Government .is based upon Dr. Sun Y r at-sen’s threo principles of the people, which aim to secure for China a position of independence and equality among tho nations, and to establish in China government of the people by the 'people and for the people. Factors that make for unity and solidarity, progress and reconstruction, for enlightenment and prosperity, as well as the greatest good for the greatest number, must triumph eventually.”
