Rev. Kenneth J. Beaton Tells Kiwanis of China‘s Part in the War and After Iluminating Address on the Ally in the Far East. Chinese Have Won Five of Seven Major Battles. Graphic Reâ€" view of Chinese Character and High Ideals. Growth of Christian Influence in China. "z=| Che Dorcupine Mtpante mmw The guest speaker at the Kiwank Club luncheon at the Empire hotel RKev. Kenneth J. Beaton, Secretary fo: Missionary Education for the Uniteo Church of Canada. He took as his subject, "Our Farâ€"Eastern Ally," anc his able address on China and the Chinese was both informative and ilâ€" luminating. (Rev. Mr. Beaton, formâ€" erly a missionary in China, and who is in the North with the World Service Clinic, is a very talented speaker ana he presented the story of China‘s pari in the war and after in such graphic way that most of those who heard him had a new and vivid picture of the Ally in the Far East. In opening his address Rev. Mr. Beaton said that Hitler can not win or lose the war by anything Japan may do or leave undone. The enemy must conquer or starve England into subâ€" mission. At the same time it is the one struggle East and West and it is not well to forget or overlook the Far East. The Chinese, the speaker said, are fighting to save an essentially demâ€" ocratic way of life. He pictured the Chinese methods of settling‘* disputes and the methods of administering law with such effectiveness that the Chinâ€" ese attitude to living was made very clear. Within the family or clan disâ€" putes are settled with the wisdom of the past added to the knowledge of the present, and decisions are accepted .as final. In the tea shop, with a third party present, both sides to a dispute will state their case, and a third party arbitrates, with the crowd taking part. L 4 i actha tss In administering law, the officials are truly the learned imen. The ambition of each home is to produce a scholar, and these wise men administer the law, not according to written codes but. through traditional moral ideals based on the classics. The speaker explained that Confucianism is not a religion but a moral philosophy. In passing he noted that the "sitâ€"down" strike is not something new to China, but goes back literally hundreds of years. It was the method used by the people of China when their rulers attempted unreasonâ€" able taxation. The shops would simply close down and business come to a standstill until injustice was remedied. "The Chinese want to preserve their friendly, personal method of living," the speaker said, and he gave an imâ€" pressive picture of the way they were fighting for their way of life. PB CE se sevA re nc 1 ++ The Chinese military technique was summed up in three words by the speaker :â€" "Resist!" â€" "Retreat." and "Reconstruct!" Rev. Mr. Beaton gave sketches of the way in which the Chinese have resisted with effectiveâ€" ness. He compared their tactics of reâ€" treating to the idea of "punching a feather pillow." The enemy‘s punches leavé no mark and do not harm, and the "pillow" is as good as ever. Tribâ€" ute was paid to the personal courage of Chiang, whose plane more than once was still on the ground as the Jap army arrived. ( $ Several striking facts quoted by the| speaker gave new lightâ€"on the military tactics of China. The Chinesg, he said, have kept a million Japanese solâ€" ders bogged down for over five years Out of seven major bastles the Chinese have actually won five. They have forced Japan to employ 50 to 60 per cent. of her merchant tonnage to supâ€" ply the Jap forces in China. The Chinese have refused ito grow Crops and have destroyed mines and other resources to hamper the invaders. "The Chinese have developed a newW military technique," the speaker said. There are over 600,000 guerillas behind the Japanese lines, and the killing of Japs is actually on a quota basis. ‘The plan is to kill a specified number of Japs each week, and it is astonishing now the Chinese keep up their quotas. The Japs have suffered staggering costs in men and equipment. The Chinese army is stronger and much better eâ€" quipped than it was five years ago. The â€" "reconstruction" â€" programint } makes history. There are 50,000 miles of modern highway, 400 miles of new railways, 8000 miles of air routes, 26,â€" 000 miles of new telephone and teleâ€" graph lines, 6,000 new post offices, 3 powerful radio stations, and out of 103 schools and colleges at the time of the invasion, 104 are still functionâ€" ing. There is genuine mass education now in China â€" 20,000 volunteer teachers, and 12,000,000 in five years taught to read. There is a medical health officer and public health clinic in every county. ‘The speaker pointed out that China needed credits and what the money would buy â€" aeropianes, guns and amâ€" munition. China has an astounding unity and*sthe will to win. per cent. of the Ministers and 80 per sent. of the deputies are earnest Christâ€" ians. Trained Christians are so eagerly sought for Government service that the church has a problem to keep up the supply. China eagerly accepts the service of Christians in place of trust because this is a protection againt zraft and againt fascism and communâ€" ism After the disaster at Hankow some f the generals suggested overtures for )eace. "No," said Chiang, "if the war vas ever right, it is still right." The absence of the spirit of hatred was an outstanding cHaracteristic of ‘the Chinese toâ€"day, the speaker said, adding that their motto appeared *o je, "Fight like hell, but do not hate." In closing, Rev. Mr. Beaton quoted the characteristic words of Generalisâ€" simo Chiang Kaiâ€"Shek:â€" "China as state is founded on the principle. not to oppress the undefended, nor fear the aggressive. More particularly she is not willing to violate pacts or break faith and thus destroy the principles zoverning the relations of mankind. . . We have relied on this spirit to resist invasion; we have depended on this spirit to resist all forms of domination, force and violence. We should be susâ€" tained by this spirit to restore order in East Asia and offer it as a contriâ€" bution towards enduring world peace." _ The guest speaker was introduced by «Rev. W. M. Mustard. _ Visitors for the day were Rev. Dr. P. Bryce, Toronto, also here with the World Service Clinic; Jim Hornick and Harry Kuzyk. Kiwanian E. H. King led the singing of ‘"Waltzing Matilda," with Harrison Flint at the piano. 2X ES L. m Minutes of t of November 12t] ian Jack Beattie The weekly war savings GQLaW won by Kiwanian Zig Ostrowsky Meeting Monday Next, Nov. 22nd to Help in Brief for Mining Commussion General Attendance Urged.
