RESOLUTION affirming thei it faith in General Chiang Kaishek and China's determination to stand by him is understood to have been passed with acclamation by delegates at a meeting of the People's Political Council this afternoon, The action of the Council followed the issue by the Generalissimo of a message to the people of China, in which he reiterated China's determina~ tion to fight to the end and appealed to the country to face the present situation with yet greater fortitude and courage.
"It is better to be a broken jade than a whole tile," declared General Chiang, who added that success lay in an unflinching and fearless struggle.

A strong denunciation of the speech made by Prince Konoye, Japanese /Premier, advocating the "Monroe Doctrine in the Far East" was contained in the leading article of the "Hsin Hsu Pao" today.
"If Asia is for the Asiatics, why did not the Japanese let 400,000,000 Chinese construct a modern country?" queries the paper, which' continues:
