Headquarters: BISHOP'S HOUSE, HONG, I

KONG

20th November, 1940.

· The HUI TIEN hospital,’KUNMING, has been bombed and damaged, and can no longer be used for inpatients, ..

IK $40,000 (about N.C. $200,000) is required, urgently, to build emergency accommodation of mud brick about Aficon miles beyond the city. With the help of the anlvaged equipment (nearly all Intact) tho now hospital can resume its work of mercy in eight weeks. The hospital staff are ready to resume work at once.

The Bank of Ching has generously advanced a loan of NC$100,000 so that the work of building can begin without delay.

Bishop Y. Y. Tsu is Chairman of the Hospital Committee of Management. The Superintendent, Dr. H. P. Yew, is an old boy of St. Stephen's, Stanley, and a graduate of Guys Hospital, Londen. He has made the hospital so efficient that it was, until the bombing, used by the Shanghai Medical College as a Teaching Hospital.

The hospital was founded 25 years ago by the Church Mis- alonary Society who still provide a British doctor and matron as well as an annual grant. It is the only British hospital on the Burma Road between Lashio and Chungking and was, until the present war, the largest hospital in the two provinces of Yunnan and Kwelchow.

Figures for 1939: Inpatients...2,057

Outpatients 00,530

With the re-opening of the Burma Road the need for this hospital 1a more urgent than ever.

The undersigned, now appeal for the full HK $40,000 in order · that this hospital may be able to minister to the many non-combatant victims of war along this war torn highway as well as resume its work of mercy among the multitudes of the South West of China.

All donations will be gratefully acknowledged by the Hon. Treasurer, Mr. S. J. Chen, Manager of the Bank of China, in Hongkong, the Troasuror, St. John's Cathedral or the South China Moming Post,

SHIP BOMBED: THAI-FRENCH FURY

Indo-China and Thailand edged slightly closer towards war on Sunday when the Hanol authorities reported a fierce air battle above the Mekong River village of Thakek, while French forces carried out retallatory moisures against Thailand. The Thai Premier declared that the Thai Air Force was fully prepared to carry out large-scale bombing of Cambodia and Laos.

Hanoi reports declare that Thailand planes, attacked a French armed vessel In the Gulf of Thailand but none of the bomba dropped hit the ship. The French replied with machine- gun fire and hit one of the attacking planes,

Commenting on the new US.$100,000,000 Joan' to China the Washington Post calls the step President Roosevelt's first major International movo since his re-election. The same journal believes the action is expected not only to strengthen the Chinese resistance but also to encourage continued Soviet aid to Chiang Kai-shek,

Declaring that generosity displayed in the negotiations with the Occidental colonies may react to the detriment of Japan because lenienry is exceeded, the Nicki Nichi Shimbun editorially demands the speeding up of trade conversations with Indo-Chino and the Netherlands East Indies.

Chungking claims that Chinese troops have smashed the Japanese offensive along n 150-mlle front in north Hupeh causing the death of over 12,653 Japanese,.
