School Kiddies Send Their ITALIAN TERMS Entire Savings To Fund BELIEVED EVEN
Copper cents and five and ten-cent coins to the value of $63.40 were brought into the South China Morning Post Ltd. this afternoon as a contribution from the children of the Garrison Infants' School in Garden Road to the War Fund.
Unstintingly, these tiny tots have voluntarily given their entire savings to the Fund.
Two little girls from Stonecutters Island brought in the entire contents of the money boxes-money they had saved "ever since they could remember."
With their savings, the Garrison School kiddies sent in a note.
"The children of the Garrison Infants' School in Garden Road are happy to send $63.40 as their contribution to the War Fund," it read.
"Later on, we hope to send more money as we want so much for Britain to win the war."
Further territorial concessions are certain to be demanded when the time comes for The War Fund
France to sign the peace terms to be imposed by the two Totalitarian States. Briefly, Germany's terms envisage the immediate military occupation, for the duration of the war with Britain, of approximately half of France, including the entire Atlantic seaboard down to the frontier of Spain and Portugal. Italy is expected to occupy the remaining half. COMPLETE DISARMAMENT
France must completely disarm, and hand over all war materials and supplies to Germany.
The French Flect is to be recalled and handed over to Italy and Germany “for disarmament and internment.”
France must join in a Continental blockade of Britain.
