Mr, Lattimore said that the invasion of Russia had served to emphasize the importance to the United States of Chinese resistance, He said that China constituted a steadying influence in the world situation, and added that the United States had learned to count on Chinese resistance.
Mr, Lattimore said that Generalis. simo Chiang was one of those men of modern times who had grown in importance until today he was rated among the great statesmen of the world, as well as a symbol of the Chinese nation.—United Press.
