Their 1,000- and 2,000-mile treks constitute a mass population flight unparalleled in recorded history. Today they are finding new homes on the western plains of New China, almost in the shadow of the mountains of Tibet. The Government of Generalissimo Chiang Kai- shek functions in' a capital city which -has been under constant aerial bombardment for nearly two years. There in Chungking, Government offices and manufacturing operations alike function in caves hewn out of solid rock while air battles rage above. The leaders of New China, who are seeking here to build a new civilization, include the thousands of young Chinese who trained in American colleges with and have returned from campuses of Cambridge, New Haven, Ann Arbor, Berkeley and many others to work for their country. The job is to feed homeless millions, to care for the bombed and ,wounded where hospital operations often are performed without anaesthetics and simul- 2, FRIDAY, MAY 23, 20 YEARS AGO 1941 mmmmmnm 6|7 8 ‘ 13(14{15, 20|21(22 ‘ 27(28|29 HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

The people of Alaska have been asked to pray for the Chinese on May 25, China Sunday. But it will take more than prayer to insure China's victory against Axis aggression on the Pacific. There can be no total remedy for all China’s tragic human misery. But there is a way of relieving it in part. American dollars can do that— American dollars which will produce tenfold when set to work in China.

Several weeks earlier the Nazis had quietly removed all their funds from the National City, and that morning the bank had re- ceived a cable ordering the I. G. Farbenindustrie account transfer- red to the credit of the Reicheredit Bank. This was clearly in antici- pation of the $250,000 deposit ex- pected made that day. Had the Justice agent come either the day before or the day after, he would have found an empty till. Tnstead, he arrived before the $250,~ 000 check reached the bank. But when the check did show up, the agent reported to the Justice De- partment that the bank refused to| accept it for deposit—on the ground that it was not certified. As long as the check was noi de- posited to the I. G. F. account, the Government had no way of seizing Rock-ribbed GOP Congressman | | sociates in army or civil life. the money. And once the Nazis knew the Government was after it, they would be on their guard. The agent had to move fast and be tough. Serving his legal papers on bank officials, he notified them that un- less they accepted the check he would immediately rush to the near- est federal judge and cite them for contempt of court for refusing to execute the impounding order. The bank officials capitulated, and $250,000 flew the Nazi coop— without the aid of a Messerschmitt 110. SOUTHERNERS AND PERKINS Joseph Hergesheimer, well known novelist, was the guest of Mrs. Ev- alyn Walsh McLean some time ago. He asked his hostess to place him at dinner beside the beautiful Ma- dame deWith, wife of the then Dutch Minister in Washington, and famous as the chief beauty of the diplomatic corps. Hergesheimer had wanted to meet her for years. When he sat down to dinner, however, a lady on his other side immediately attracted his attention. “Gosh,” she said, “how I hate Southerners.” It was none other than the Secre- ury of Labor, Madame Perkins.

At first he worked on the idea of meeting the admirals with U. S. cruisers at Barranquilla, Colombia, taking them out to the mid-Atlantic to view the U. S. naval patrol at work. This was given up as too long, and a coast-to-coast inspection of U. 8. naval stations was substi- tuted plus a stop-over in Holly- wood.

Though this is doubted in some quarters, Representative Plumley can vouch for it. However, when Tinkham’s progenitors landed on the Rock, Plumley’s progenitors waved them welcome.” Congressmen at nearby tables roared at Plumley’s quick-witted improvisation, while the sputtering Gentleman from Massachusetts grabbed His clipping, and waddled away, (Copyright, 1941, by United Fea- | ture Syndicate, Inc.)
