Veteran Compares War With 1911 Revolution Nanking, Nov. 9. Beset as it is with numerous difficulties, China's current war of resistance against Japanese aggression was likened by Mr. Wu Tse-hui, one of the few Kuomintang elder statesmen, to the Chinese Revolution against the Manchus in 1911.
These difficulties, however, were dwarfed by comparison with those which confronted the earlier revolutionaries, of whom Mr. Wu himself was one.. Once the standard of resistance was unfurled, all provinces in the Hwangho, Yangtze and Pearl River valleys became a solid unity, which was something gratifying.
It is true that Formosa, Manchuria and Jehol have been under the Japanese yoke for many years, and! that since the outbreak of the Lukouchiao incident last July, three or four more provinces in the north have been occupied by Japanese military forces. It is also true that there have been minor changes in the Shanghai area, The recovery of all these territories, however, represents just so much more work for the Chinese nation to accomplish, Mr. Wu stated.
No revolution is easy and the same thing is true with China's war of reance. which must necessarily be a long-drawn-out affair, By holding fast to the belief that the final victory cannot fail to be China's, the people, Mr. Wu said, should not permit their perspective to be thrown out of range by any advances or retreats of a transient nature on the battlefield—Central News,
