 But most pressing was the needs and the suffering of thousands crowded M refugee camps in New England particularly Rhode Island, who had no homes to 90 to because they had been wrecked by hurricane, were, in many cases isolated, were on short rations because communi- cations had been been only re- stored partially, and were threatened with disease.
 President Takes Hold
 So pressing was this problem, that President Roosevelt. responding to the appeal of New England gov. ernors, ordered federal agencies the Red Gross. the Coast Guard, the Works Progress Administration, the Civilian Conservation Corps, and the army and navy to mobilize their full facilities. Harry l.. Hopkins, WPA administrator, was to f1y to New England from California to take personal charge of WUA ace tivitieS.

WAR IN CHINA
 CASTS SHADOW ON TO HAWAII
Economic and Emotional Strain Manifest
 In Islands
BY WENDEL BURCH United Press Staff COrreSDOndentl

|. lkAAAASC0 . AOSo OsUA OOAASoPohNNAD
 Honolulu, T. H., Jan. 14-(UP)- Strain of the prolonged Sino-Japan- csc conflict gradually is manifeSting itself in economic, racial and emo tional ways in polygot Hawaii.
 Extent of the Chinese reaction is signified by information that the 30,000 members of the Celestial col ony in Hawaii will forego usual New Years celebrations in February, de- voting funds obtained by such &C., tion to war chest contributions.
 Approximately 150000 Japanese celebrated Jan. 1 with more than usual Nipponese New Years cheer. Starting Dec. 21, Hawaiian time when it already was New Years in Tokyo, 3,400 miles distant-the Jap anese enjoyed traditional feasts and ceremonies through Jan. 3. Huge quantities of fire-crackers were exploded. Roman candles and skyrockets blazed at night, and friends made continuous visits.
 Year of Tiger" DawnS
 Japanese vernacular newspapers, in voluminous special New Years edition customary to the season, eX- tolled Nipponese accomplishments in 1937, the year of the Bull, and en- Enthusiastically discussed the outlook for 1888, the year of the Tiger. Fol lowing are typical excerpts from a translation of the New Years state ment in one Honolulu Japanese language newspaper:
 Welcoming this New Year at such a critical period for our mother country, we residents of Hawaii who are citizens of progressive Japan should enter the new year with a mental attitude befitting such a time. It is indeed time of greater rejoicing than usual, to be able to welcome this new year as citizens of victorious Japan. We must place special importance upon the mission destined for Japan.
 "The objective for which Japan today is operating is for the free ing of Asia, that is, new era move ment for Asia. It is for the free dom of the Asiatic race from the long years of exploitation and op- presSion by the western nations, thus restoring to them self-govern- ment and freedom, which they can enjoy. Her objective is to do away with racial prejudice, which is un- becoming to the 10th Century, and other irrational matters coming out of it. ..
