Nationalism to the Chinese to-day is not only a creed, but a passion and a religion. There are ample evidences to show that. China is trying to concentrate her national energy, and to work unitedly to resist foreign aggression like that adopted and practised by the Japanese, which is doomed to failure.

The factors that make for unity and solidarity, progress and reconstruction, for enlightenment and prosperity, as well as the greatest _good for the greatest number, must triumoh eventually."
