Appeal to People

OF CHINA

Mr. Wang Ching-wei Asks for Extreme Sacrifice Kuling, July 29. A stirring appeal to the Chinese People to prepare for the extreme sacrifice at this moment, when the "limit of endurance" has been reached, was made by Mr. Wang Ching-wei, Chairman of the Central Political Council, during the "summer conversations" here yesterday.

"As the people of a weak count; Mr. Wang said. "we have nothing to depend upon but enthusiasm to sacrifice for our country. If we are all willing to sacrifice, the final victory will be ours."

The purpose of the aggressors, Mr. Wang pointed out, is to occupy Chinese territory and to enslave the Chinese people. If what they get from their aggression were nothing but "corpses and ruins," they would be disillusioned.

Since the outbreak of the Mukden incident in 1931, the Chinese Government and the people have spared no effort in transforming China into a modern nation despite unspeakable sufferings and humiliations. This modernization is not only a necessity to China but-also beneficial to Sino-

Japanese relations.

With China's hopes for peace dashed to the ground by the Japanese military, the task of reforming China and her national existence are both at stake.—Central News.
