The Chinese Soldier ... After a visit to China where he spent about seven months, a special correspondent of the London Times wrote just before this war began: "The curious thing is that .the Chinese soldier has it is him to be a very good soldier. He inherits all the advantages of the Japanese soldier except his military traditions. Though you might not think it to look at him, he has great, strength and endurance. He can live on next to nothing. He is often a man of courage and resource and he will be loyal to a good master. On regular pay and a full stomach his high spirits combine with his fatalism to keep his morale high even when things are going badly. Add to this that every Chinese is some sort of a craftsman by nature. There is no reason why, if he could be shown some good cause to take this particular craft seriously, he should not become as adept at drill and musketry as he is at more difficult and less indigenous trades." The writer blames the leaders for most of the past failure. He says that most battles have been won or lost by secret negotiation under cover of a cloud of bombastic and defiant telegrams before a shot is fired. For a time in one of the foreign settlements the general will live on the bribe that bought his departure .until crisis again coincides with opportunity. Even when the general is loyal to his own cause it will be strange indeed if all his divisional commanders are. If the big man cannot be bought or is too expensive some of the little men say "we'll be content with a safe return before the bottom drdps out of the market." . " It seems that Chiang Kai-shek lias proved impervious to fighting a barter battle and that he has taken steps to insure that none of his subordinate do so. Also he has seen that his soldiers are well fed and well treated generally with the result we have 'seen of recent years.
