FIRST LADY OF CHINA is Madame Chiang Kai-Shek (above), wife of the Generalissimo, described by John Gunther as "alert, smoothly polished, full of graceful small talk and enormously competent." This competence is shown not only in her handling of the practical problems of China's defence, but also in the flood of articles and books by which she hopes to drive home to the Chinese and to other peoples the significance of her country's struggle. "China Shall Rise Again" is her latest book. In it she urges China to break the chains of the past, bitterly attacking those national frailties which have kept the nation undeveloped and its masses in abject poverty.
