BRITISH SYMPATHY FOR CHINA

Striking examples of the manner in which the gener- al public in Britain expresses its great sympathy for the Chinese people in their fight against aggression were quoted by Dr. Arthur Woo, in his address to the Hong- kong Rotary Club at the weekly tiffin yesterday.

-- Where ever I went in England, I found the greatest sympathy for the Chinese people." Dr. Woo said. “As an example of this at- titude, I found one widow of moderate means spending all her time on behalf of China War Relief. Much money and medical supplles were sent away through her great efforts. I was told of another who gave up all her savings for China Rellef Organisations and still another who gave up her Summer holiday in order to help Chinese war orphans."

Dr. Woo, Vice-President of, some 3,000 miles away to time for the Club, occupied the chair breakfast, after sleeping with all during the tiffin. He then the comfort of a pullman car,
