YOUNG SEES CHIN OFFERING STUBBORN Chiang Kai-Shek’s Leadership Is Uniting China Into Gigan- tic Fighting Force Sino-Japanese strife in China is the culmination of a series of inci- dents which had their origins more} than 40 years ago, C. L. Young of! Bismarck told the Rotary club Wed- nesday noon. The Chinese people, peaceable by nature and sé torn by intgrnal strug- gles since the fall of the Manchu, dynasty that they have been unable to arouse a united national resistance to encroachments of foreign powers, at last have united under the master- ful diplomat and organizer, Chiang Kai-Shek in opposition to Japanese invasion that may prove one of his- tory’s outstanding periods, Young de- clared. Young traced the imperialistic and communistic ambitions of Japan and Russia in their rape of Chinese ter- ritory, emphasizing that Japan's seizures were prompted not only by a desire to obtain buffers against Russia but also from the economic necessity of finding more land and more wealth for its over-populated islands. Two other factors in the spreading of Japanese domain, Young credited to the Japanese notions that they be- lieve themselves to be the defenders of all non-white races and to political ambitions of empire leaders, par- ticularly the military clique which governs the empire. Young was of the opinion that Chiang Kai-Shek’s program of uni- fication, militarization and education may in the not too distant future offer a checkmate to both the Russians and the Japanese. Young was introduced by J. P. Jackson, program chairman. George F.
