fund. Carolina students know the pur
poses of the Red Cross fund, but some
aren't sure where their money might
go when they contribute to the WSS
fund.
. This is what your WSS money will
do in China :
In Shanghai $2.50 will feed a Chinese
student for a month.
Padded Garments
Five dollars will buy a padded gar
ment for winter and a pair of cloth
shoes for a Chinese student.
Shanghai is the only university cen
ter where students must make their
own living arrangements. There, $2.00
per month will enable a student to share
a simple room with another.
The government cares for tuition
fees in governmental universities. In
private institutions, $6.00 to $8.50 per
semester will cover a student's fees.
A Student Sanitarium of 100 beds
in Yenan, north Shansi, operates on
the amazing budget of $150 a month.
This means that a student may re
ceive medical care for one month for
$1.50.

at Valley Forge, "... their route

World Reaction to Axis
"How did your men march out of
Valley Forge to victory? They did as
we are doing. We never thought we
would win this war without outside
aid. We employed a 'wishful thinking'
for which millions of Chinese died
anticipation of a world reaction to the
Axis gangsterism."
Communistic influence in China's
war is "quite unimportant, because the
Chinese Red Army is fighting beside
us now." In Dr. Hu's eyes the cooper
ating Chinese Communists will "have
enough sense to disband their army
after the war and will cause no trou
ble." Clarifying his statement that space
and numbers kept China going, he as
serted that no large Chinese army has
ever been encircled, because of num
erical superiority and room to move
about in. With these advantages China
defeated the Jap blitz with time, four
years of it. . ..
"Japanese High Command has said
we have three million men trained, ad
mitting our advantage in numbers. Ac
tually, we have two million ready for
bitter action and three million addi
tional reserves."
But officials confess that China has
continued to fight because of the big
gest factor, allied aid. "Last week's
$500,000,000 was voted unanimously by
the House in seven minutes and unani
mously by the Senate in 20 minutes.
The audience received a challenge
when Dr. Hu bitterly drew a picture
of America's pre-war appeasement to
Japan. But he struck a note of opti
mism as he declared, "China, after
fighting for four and one-half years,
suddenly finds herself fighting on the
same side with 26 new allies, including
three of the most powerful nations of
the earth." He said that "this sudden
change is already producing a tremen
dous effect on the spirit of my peo
ple." '
Perhaps first news of a new mater
ial hope came when Dr. Hu told of
the new India Road, soon to be com
pleted, and designed as an effective;
counterpart or substitute of the amaz
ing Burma Road. This may be the
answer to the mystery of yesterday's
news of Chiang Kai Shek's presence
in India.
Applause that stirred the speaker
followed Hu Shih's declaration that:
"The tide has now turned, butvfinal
victory is not yet in sight. A long
and hard war faces your nation, my

". Singapore will hold out.
Dr. Hu Shih, China's Ambassador
to Washington, in an exclusive inter
view late yesterday afternoon . during
his Raleigh-to-Chapel Hill automobile
trip, stood by that statement as after
noon papers screamed Singapore's in
vasion by Japanese forces.
Japan is withdrawing enormous
numbers of planes and considerable
quantities of men from the Chinese
war front for use against American
and British forces, he disclosed,
China Strengthened
"China has been greatly strengthen
ed by this plane and troop movement
and you may expect us to take advan
tage of it."
The slight philosophic Chinese blink
ed lazy eyes behind thick, horn-rimmed
glasses as he added his conviction that
the British defenders of Singapore will
continue to force back the rays of the
Rising Sun for many weeks.
And in the view of Dr. Hu, General
Douglas MacArthur's troops will stand
until victory in the battle of the Philippines.
"General MacArthur has worked
wonders wonders with his men and
supplies."
Without hesitation the Chinese Am
bassador asserted that the Soviet Un
ion will declare war on Japan.
