"STRUGGLE WILL GO ON”
BY EMILY BROWN
Bangkok, Jan. 17.
The Viet Namh leader, Ho Chi-minh, told the United Press to-day that the struggle will continue until France recognises Viet Namh's independence. He added he did not know if the United States was helping the Republic's cause.
Answering a series of questions submitted by the United Press, Mr Ho sald it was impossible to appeal directly to the United States because he has not contact with American correspondents and has only Viet Namh radlo to tell his story.
"French aggression was begun on November 20 and the occupation of Haiphong followed," he said, "ith dally provocations, ultimatums and reinforcements ot French troops since December 19. France Iraz mado no effort to negotiate, sending only troops and reinforcements and Moutet (French Colonial Minister) who did not meet me."

Monumental, But Inaccurate
A new book has arrived in Hongkong titled "History of World War I.
It is bulky, pretentions, and, according to the publisher's Jacket, a "monumental work," aiming to "give homes, schools and braries a standard work in which the reader may obtain a comprehensive un- derstanding of the epoch-making events through which we have passod." And in case that is not sufficient an inducement to convince the reader that it is a "must be read" book, he is informed that it was written by Francis Trevelyan Miller, Liit, D., LI.D., U S. historian and sather of "Thotographic History of the Civil War," "Eisenhower. Man and Soldier," and "General MacArthur." No book could destre impressive introduction or bulld-up,

Not unnaturally, the Hongkong reader will jump to the chapter, "War in the Pacifio" We did. And this is what we read: The Ill-fated Farrison of Houtkung consisted of bout 12,000 men.....under the com- mand of Brigadier J.K. Lawson London, Ontario....Twice during those sixteen days Brigadier Lawson scornfully rejected demands for aurrender....In the final phases of the struggle, when casualties were so severe that guns remained unmanned, Americans in Hongkong took over vacant positions.”
To those in Hongkong who suffered those epoch-making days, the four glaring inaccuracies appearing in the above quoted extract will convince them that, though this book may be monumental from the point of vlow of size, it hardly qualifies as a “standard work" for homes, schools and libraries.
For the purposes of accuracy it must be pointed out that the alegó of Hongkong lasted 18 days; that the commander of the Hongkong garrison was General Maltby; that was the Governor, 6ir Mark Young, who twice rejected the Japanese surrender demands; and that it was Impossible for even one gun to be manned entirely by Americans,
The rest of this book may be meticulously accurate. We are not in a position to my. But most decidedly should the passages dealing with the Battle of Hongkong have been shroffed over by some one conversant with the facts before being included in a "standard work" on the history of World War II,
