Personally I think that the appes on behalf of war charities cannot be made too often nor too insistently It is not aqueation of large contributions, but of small ones and continual once which tell in the present war. Recently, I have re, turned from a visit to America and there I found that the appeal on behalf of war charities was alracet continual When I say that, I mean it went on from day to day. It was not a question of large contributions, but of getting the mall ones. I think that, living, as we are in Hongkong, far from the stress of the struggle, the very least we should do is to contribute as much as lies in our power, whether, large or small continual ly toward, one or other of the great war charities which are constantly appealing for our sid.
