The lessons of the World War and the mistakes have been turned to profit in the handling of the Chinese situation.
 Relief and service work in front line trenches, reception work at railway stations, club work at concentration points, first air work for wounded soldiers in transit, comforts to soldiers at base hospi- tals, moving picture and library service are all being provided in so far as inadequate facilities can pro- vide.
 DIVIDED
 GEOGRAPHICALLY At the outbreak of the Sino- Japanese war, the YMCA in China established It's War Emergency Service to soldiers, now carried on by 17 units in four large geographi- cal regions, with 145 full-time work | CTS
 Maintenance of services in the occupied territories of China has become very difficult because from 90 to 95 per cent of the population who normally support the "Y" work have been evacuated. Of 8 association buildings in China, the five occupied by the in- vading army are at Soochow, Ta- tung, Wuchang, Pootung, and Nanking. Those burned are at Wei heiwei, Nanking, and Changsha. The five partially destroyed by bombing are those at Tientsin, Sian, Nanchang, Swatow and Toyshan. Those footed are at Nanking, Kali feng, Annoy, and Weiheiwei. The branch with which was associated escaped bombing but met all three of the other catastrophies being in turn occupied, then footed, and finally burned by the Japanese.
 Destroyed "" property could be replaced only at a cost of per- haps $700,000 (Chinese). The Gen. tral Chinese government is sup porting the " work, and additional support, beyond what can be met by an impoverished population, comes from other parts of China, from Chinese in New York, San Francisco, Honolulu, Manila, Singa- pore, Rangoon, and Bangkok. STUDENT
 TREK TO INTERIOR
 Practically every association in China has been forced to grapple as best 1t can with the refugee situa- tion, establishing camps for those who have had to flee from their homes. The student problem has also been acute, and perhaps the world has never seen the like o the thrilling trek of students who have followed their universities & thou sand or 1,500 miles into the interior of what remains free China, though even such trek cannot carry them beyond bombing range.

Washngton-Call time out on the European
headlines for a few minutes, and you'll discover
that the Congress and the President of the United
States are working up design for democracy
right under your nose.
The pattern of their effort goes by the name
of government reorganization But don't let that
fool you. What goes is lot closer to home
plate than mere moving day for government
agencies.
The basic idea seems to be to make democracy
work in the face Of the singing argument of the
tOtalitarianS that democracy stands for 'do-noth-
ing.
The immediate objective of reorganization is
efficiency and economy in our bureaucracy, but
far more important-lt was found necessary to
create device, a design, perhaps new
balance of power in government to achieve that
simple end.
The Roosevelt administration and the law
makers who helped the administration put over
the new reorganization law claim it's the most i'm
portant step toward efficiency in democracy in Is
years, and they swear they haven't sacrificed the
democratic principle to achieve their end
The opposition camp telfs'sa different story.
They swear by-and in--the Congressional Record
that the Constitution has been strapped and we
are on the verge of government by decree.
At Least Evolutionary
AS for who's right, We'll just have to wait and
see; but in the new reorganization law we do have
new design that is certainly evolutionary, per-
haps revolutionary.
By this device, the President proposes and the
Congress disposes; the President initiates the Con-
greSS VelOeS. Inc normal QemOcrauc procedure Isl
therefore, reversed in two of the three branches OF
cur government The third, the Supreme Court
still holds the final kibitzng power, doing business
at the old constitutional stand.
So, we now have the President proposing def
mite, rigid plans to streamline the executive branch
of the government
The Congress has no right under the new law
to tamper with any plan he sets up; it may not
flbuster the idea to DEATH for it must act within
so days. forever after hold its peace. But il
the two houses can get together, they can by a
simple majority veto any reorganization plan-and
