Changes in China highlighted by Williams at Press Club
Edward T Williams, chief of the Far Eastern division, told the National Press Club that five years of rapid modernization in China shattered the belief in unchangeable customs. He traced the revolution and the birth of the Republic, noting how press influence helped spark change from 1911 to 1949 and comparing old dress to present styles. Williams, who has 26 years in China, will present the first US screening of Kinema color moving pictures “With the Fighting Forces of Europe.”
