Margaret Bourke-White

Describes Chungking

Famed for her documentary photography, Miss Margaret Bourke-White proved from Chungking that she is equally capable of documenting in words any situation that strikes her as interesting. Visiting China's war capital as a team for "Life" magazine with her famous author-playwright husband, Erskine Caldwell, Miss Bourke-White complied with a request from United China Relief, Inc. of New York and broadcast her impressions of Chungking and Free China from Chungking's International Broad- casting Station.

Said broadcaster Bourke-White: "The hardest thing to realise-is-the-sheer number of people who have been made. homeless by this war. This war has put more people on the march, caused more shifts of population, caused more sheer volume of misery than any war in history.
