CONGRESS ADDRESS
Madame Chiang Kai-shek Speaks In America
RISK FAILURE TO WIN VICTORY Rec. 2.30 p.m. RUGBY, Feb. 18. Madame Chiang Kai-shek, addressing a joint session of the United States Congress, gave a warning against the danger of allowing Japan to remain in possession of the resources of her occupied countries.
The Japanese Juggernaut must be broken, but peace must not be punitive in spirit but universal in scope and humanitarian in action. China, like the other Allies, wanted a better world for all mankind. It was not enough to proclaim ideals or even to be convinced that the world has them. They should throw all they cherish into efforts to fulfil them. They should risk failure and not accept it, for man's mettle was tested both in adversity and success.
