HONG KONG HELPS

HONG KONG, AUGUST, 28th 1938-

THE QUESTION has often been asked as to what the Chinese of Hong Kong are doing to help in the war of resistance against the Japanese and if there had been any doubt at all as to the extent of their support (and we fall to see how there could have been), all" such doubt was banished in no uncertain manner on Saturday when the streets were full of Chinese ladies, helping to sell flags to raise funds for the International Medical Rellef Society which has been, MACARTHUR:—On Aug. 16, 1938, and is still doing such fine war relief work.

The International Medical Reile! Society is the only organisation of its kind doing war relief work in the Colony. There are a number of other societies, it is true, but membership of those are purely Chinese though the work done is by no means less important. But It must have been gratifying, to the Chinese community to see on Saturday so many members of the foreign communities taking such an active part in the sale of flags.

While on the subject of war relief work in Hong Kong it will be interesting to take stock of what is being done throughout China to help the thousands upon thousands of people rendered homeless by the indiscriminate bombing, shelling and machine-gunning by the Japanese soldiers who have no business at all on Chinese soll.
