CHINA’S DESTINY Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's book, “China’s Destiny,” lists wartime tasks and proposes a 10-year plan, in* eluding the construction of 12,500 mile* of railways, 137,000 miles of 220,000 automobiles, 12,000 transport planes, and a tremendous increase la technical education aimed at training. 2,000,000 technicians. “The destiny of China,” he writ©%. •rests upon the shoulders of the people, and is being decided to-day while thA war is going on. This is no time forindecision and vacillation . . . blind following and dependence on others. In\ the past China’s destiny depended ondiplomacy; in the future China’s destiny will depend on internal administration. “After the revolution of 1911 the Chinese people laid stress merely on the forms of democratic institutions, failing to build a solid foundation for popular Government. This caused* regional domination by war lords, plus uninterrupted encroachments by foreign Powers.” — (From the official summary issued on the eve of publication of the Generalissimo’s long awaited work, “China’s Destiny.”)
