"

Chungking. August 16. Assurance that medical supplies will be given China by the French people for the relief of Chinese war refugees was made by M. Jean Raynaud, representative of three Catholic newspapers in Paris, in an Interview with the local press,

4

M. Raynaud who arrived here recently from France via Indo- China after having visited Chengtu, said that this form of assistance will be realized as soon as he returns to Paris.

The sympathy of the French people, who are a peace-loving nation, M. Raynaud stated, is with China.

The disgust and indignation that)

been had

aroused throughout France by the atrocities committed by the Japanese militarists, he said. have now been deepened by the indiscriminate bombings of Canton, Wuhan and other open cities

The ruling clique in Japan, he added, has been trying to inundate the world with a flood of false propaganda. On the occasion of the first anniver- sary of the Sino-Japanese hos- tilities, he said. the Japanese authorities, for example, esti-

mated that the casualties of their men on the field for the past year amounted to only 35,000 and the loss of planes at 83.

"But I can speak with good authority," he said, "that the num- ber of army casualties and losses of planes must be tenfold of what Tokyo claimed." "

M. Raynaud who made a brief

sojourn in Japan before coming to China said that the gold reserves in Japan were rapidly dwindling and the figure of unemployment was rising to a high plane.

During his staying in Japan, he said, he gained the impression that Japan would not be able to stand the strain for another six months if, China could put every ounce of energy into the resistance cam- paign.
