CHINA C0-0PS
REHABILITATE
REFUGEES

NEW YORK.-A refugee resettle-
ment program to aid workmen fleeing
from China's famine areas in Honan
and eastern Shensi provinces has
been set up by the Chinese Industrial
Co-operatives in west China and at
the present time it is rehabilitating
hundreds of famine refugees.
Reports just received by Indusco,
the American Committee in Aid OF
Chinese Industrial Co-operatives, state
that hundreds of thousands of famine
sufferers are now being walked OUT
of the famine area. The co-opera-
tives' system of productive Keller
aids hundreds of these refugees, who
arrive in the west without food or
money and in a semi-starving condi-
ton.
Refugees are walked out of the
famine areas in groups of about 30,
reports state. Many of the refugees
are soldiers families grandmother,
mother and their children being a
typical group. Each family unit is
supplied with a wheelbarrow for be-
longings. In some cases only the men
of the family go, planning to send
later for their families. The groups
travel about ten miles a day. They
carry letters of introduction and ex-
PLANTATION to the local C.LC. leaders
and local government officials.
In many cases, the refugees train
ing and settlement are partly super
vised by Bailie boys - students in
technical training schools financed by
Indusco, a participating agency in
United China Relief Local co-opera-
tives, many of them formed of and
by refugees from the early days Of
the war, have agreed to take one to
five refugee workmen into each coop
erative.
Paochi, in Shensi province-since
the war a bustling boom towns
the seat of the refugee resettlement
program. From here workers are
sent to the industrial cooperative
lime kilns, brick kilns, coal mines,
timber, weaving and spinning prof.
ects throughout Free China. The
new workmen dig water races for
mill wheels, burn charcoal for expert
mental gray iron work, put up build
ings, and do reforestation work in
districts where even the fruit trees
have long since been cut by the army
for fuel
Many women refugees work in the
wool and cotton-spinning co-opera-
tives, and in the weaving co-opera-
tives, which already have produced
100000 blankets for the army and
quantities of cotton cloth, though
China is still producing only 40 per
cent of the cotton cloth it needs.
The refugee resettlement program
was originated and is supervised by
Rewi Alley, field secretary of the
International Committee for Chinese
Industrial Co-operatives and one of
the co-operatives' original organizers.
The Chinese Industrial Co-opera-
tives have been financially aided for
two and a half years through United
China Relief, which now is a member
agency of the National War Fund.

FARM HELP FROM
LATIN AMERICA

A total of 57,4S9 workers from Mex
leo, jamaica and the Bahama Islands
have come to this country for agri-
cultural employment. Marvin Jones,
War Food Administrator, recently
praised the ability of these workers
and described their efforts as being
of utmost Importance to the produc-
ton of food and fiber for war needs.
Mexican nationals have been en-
ployed in agriculture in II western
states. Jamaicans and Bahamians
have been employed largely in east
coast states and in the middle west.
The workers have come into this
country to relieve farm labor short
ages in critical areas. When the need
for their services has passed, they
will be returned to their home coun-
tries.

that count so much but more their
modern equipment and military train
ing and morale that count the most.
There is wide spread apprehen-
sion that our trained men are ulti-
mately destined for occupation troops
in liberated and conquered Europe, or
else why training troops in: ALLIED
Military Government of Occupied Ter
ritory"? (AMGOT). This is evidently
new wrinkle in military training and
is ostensibly only meant to be in op-
Grafton until stable governments can
be formed in the occupied zones. Off
hand it looks OK but who is to de-
eide what is a stable government?
What is the difference between mob
rule and peoples rule. The vital
question is, what kind of stable
government are the people to have.
Are our soldiers to back return TO
Status Quo or to back one or the
other governments in exile; shall they
endorse the Yugoslav government in
exile against the Partisans; the Pol
ish government in exile against Czech
oslovakia. In other words if they
are to police big part of Europe
after the war, maybe 10 million men
won't be too many, it might be harder
for us to win the peace than 1t was to
win the war We can decide and con-
troll the African situation but when it
comes to choosing between the differ
ent factions in continental Europe,
its going to be a tough job and we
might be cutting off more than we
can chew.
In winning the peace after the war,
many knotty problems are sure to
turn up. Czechoslovakia will want
some of her territory back; the
Ukranian peasants may not want to
come under Polish land lords domina-
ton and have to boil their potatoes
in the same water twice in order to
save the precious salt which some
had to do in pre-war days; others
may not even want their crown-heads
back. In fact Europe may want to be
different Europe than it was before
the war, no doubt there is lots of
room for improvement.

 No, Bob, the city has been milked dry of it's COW population by a city ordinance that bans Bossy from the Boulevards.

Two examples of inebriety re- gently appeared before an ofic- ial (the wrong one, by the way) and divulged the information that they wanted to get married.
 "Why?" asked the official, iocularly.
 Because, explained the male half of the team in all ser iousness, "she's been pestering me for weeks and figured the only way to get rid of her would be to marry her"
 They departed, inexpressibly sorrowful, when they were told they would have to wait three days after filing intent to wed. Much more than three days has elapsed, and nothing has been seen of them since.

Mrs. Pete Magnusen,s who wanted to know what the offic- ial national flower is, told us she'd tell us when she found out. Two weeks have passed without her report, which leads us to believe we were right when we told her there was none. At least it isn't mentioned in our reference library, which consists of an Encyclopedia Bri- tannica published by Sears Roe buck, a Webster's published by Merriam and a 1941 World Almanac.
 If other nations flowers are any help, we understand Ger many's is the Wild Germanium, Italy's the Lachrymose Begon- nia, and Japan's the Setting Sunflower.
