IN MEMORIAM

K

A Chinese Intellectual

Falls In Battle

By PERCY CHEN

HERMAN LIU is dead. He died as he had lived. a valiant soldier fighting for his people. A new era has" dawned for Chinese intellectual life when the truths of Nationalism and Patriotism were adhered to in the face of death at the hands of a cowardly enemy.

The first shots of the battle for Shanghai were fired in the presence of Dr. Herman Li, the kindly, generous, and warm-hearted President of the Shanghai University in Kiangwan.

..

His University was on the boundary of the plece of land occupied by the Japanese and called a “golf course." The Invaders had sent their sappers and some workers to level the bunkers so as to form a landing fleld for their planes. And the Chinese Peace Preservation Corps had resisted these manoeuvres. The Japanese attacked in force and a battle developed around the seat of learning in which Herman Liu guided the teaching of the young men and women placed in his care.

In a radio broadcast in October, Dr. Liu addressed his closing words to his students scattered, all over the yast territory of China.

"Those of my students who hear ine must remember my words," he said. "Strive hard for your grea: country and

do not hesitate to give your lives for it. We have a greater cultural heritage than the Japanese. Ouf courage is greater. And our cause is just. We must be victorious"

He was a religious man. And his religion being strang. served to emphasise his understanding of the needs of his - country. He could move his listeners to tears with his words. But he was also a man of action. A modern Chinese intellectual. He was a philosopher. But his philosophy did not have ita foundation in Confucianism which in its lauding of pure authority" would weaken Nationalism against an "authority" which might be Japanese, or Mancha Hla philosophy was the philosophy of Young China for which the crown is either."Victory or Death."

A

The Japanese fear learning and the man of learning." barbarous nation, handicapped by a lack of a code of ethics, they have been described as being "Not civilized but merely mechanized." And the dastardly assassination of Herman Llu, "the Patriot, will shock the civilised world as it has shocked all Chinese workers in the field of Culture.

Chinese cultural workers are conscious of their task in this present Holy War of National Salvation against the Japanese Aggressor. They are also conscious of their role in the movement towards finding a synthesis of All World Culture wherein, All Men within the Four Seas will be brothers in word and deed." The Chinese have always honoured, a learned man, for the Past was built on learning and the Future of Mankind will hold no promise if learning shall be rewarded with Death at the hands of the "aasassin."

By this act, the Japanese in Shanghal once more indict themselves before the World. Their just punishment will come from the hands of those very young men and women to whom and for whòm Herman Liu, my friend, gave his life.

BANNING OF FILM IN CANTON

Yacht Savarons, the magnificence of which would dazzle a multi-millionaire.

AFTER lying in Hamburg harbour for six years with a crew of thirty on board, and with steam always up, the mystery yacht Savarona; costliest craft of its type in the world, has stolen out torsea, bound for Turkey, states the Daily Mail

Reports In Hamburg were that she had been bought by the Türkish Government and that Herr von Papen, Germany's newly- appointed ambassador to Turkey was on board.

. In 1932 the Savarona sailed into Hamburg. Her skipper and his American crew have remained on board since. Inquiries from rich yachtsmen, who wished to buy, ber, have always been answer- ed evasively.

The main cabin has a bed which belonged to Louis XVI. The bathroom fittings are of gold.

The yacht has a garden, complete with velvety lawn, in which rare flowers bloom.
