MISS KUNG PU-SHENG,
SPEAKS AT A, AND T.
"The Japanese agressors in
China, contrary to their often
repeated assertions that they
are interested in saving Asia
for the Asiatics and in liberating
the Chinese from their centuries-old
shackles, are primarily
concerned with the subjugation
and exploitation of a peaceloving
nation," Miss Kung PuSheng,
former national student
secretary of the Young Women's
I <-*1 t.ii ?-.?
vsiirmuBii association in cmna,
said in an address In Richard B.
Harrison auditorium at A. and
T. college Wednesday.
The speaker pointed out the
difficulties which Chinese students
laher for an education.
Colleges have been moved from
the seacoast to the interior, disrupting
one of the most sacred
Chinese Institutions, the family
and Buddhist temples have been
converted into classrooms and
dormitories, and frequently as
many as 100 persons have living
quarters in one room, she
said.
Miss Kung, now a Student
Christian Movement exchange
fellow studying in this country,
was chairman of the Chinese
delegation to the World Conference
of Christian Youth held
In Amsterdam In July, 1939.
While In Europe she also attended
the third assembly of
the World Student association
In Parle.
A graduate of Yenchlng university

Loudon, May 8.?"wer urace,
the Duchess!" That's what I
have named her -r- the newlyopened
Duchess Street Service
club of the American Red Cross
in London. It was Christmas eve,
i? my recollections are correct,
that we brought g^new radio into
an empty, but beautiful building
known to its users as "The
Duchess."
The Duchess was once an
American Red Cross Officers
club before it was turned over
to enlisted men, and during the
transition, all staff moved out
except the housekeeper, a grand
little British lady, and a petite
secretary?also British. A few
weeks before Christmas, Sidney
Williams of Cleveland and I got
the thrill of our lives when the
chief, Ott Romney, director of
American Red Cross club operations
in Great Britain, assigned
the two of us to the new London
club. What a thrill it was!
We jumped for joy when we
learned we would be the first
Negro staff to be assigned to a
grand club in the world's largest
city; but never mind our thrills
or what-have-you.... let's talk
about Her Grace, the Duches^
Yes, it was Christmas eve,
and you should have seen us?

up holly branches and hanging
them In the hall of Duchess
Street club. We were determined
to have a bit of Christmas cheer,
despite wartime, and the hall of
the Duchess was decorated with
green holly with bright berries,
a little Christmas tree?a baby
pine, on the little table In the
corner, draped with a curl of
gold tinsel?and a sprout of Intriguing
mistletoe hanging from
the arch.?Reprinted from the
