Chungking, Jan. 26. "4¢JAPAN must fail in her adventure in China because her military tactics, political activities and foreign policy have all been wrong," declared General Chiang Kai-shek in his opening address at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, which is now meeting here.
"On the other hand," the Generalissimo continued, "China must win, but she must not, in any circumstances, compromise with or surrender to Japan."
General Chiang gave the following reasons for his belief that Japan must feil:
1. Japan's present move is not in conformity with her continental policy; 2. Japan's aims for the surrender of China without war, or with a quick war and quick conclusion, or a quick peace, have all failed to materialize; 3. Japan has adopted the wrong military tactics by failing to estimate accurately her own and China's strength, by trying to achieve results through luck and deceit and by sending military forces deep into the interior of China.
4. Japan has made wrong political moves in making use of undesirable Chinese elements for puppet regimes, and, in this manner, bringing corruption into the Japanese army.
