Chinese Will Support

BY the Associated Press.


China's Finance Minister, DR.. H.
H. Kung, told the Senate today the
Chinese ARE prepared to back up q
properly constituted world organi-
zation with ali we have In the en-
forcement of peace"
For the Chinese government and
people" he asserted, Il am privi-
legged to say here that In all mat
ters Of international cooperation
we whole-heartedly support the pol
icies of the United States, which we
are convinced are founded on the
same ideals Of justice and decency
which the Chinese people tradition
all cherish"
Peace and democracy can only be
realized, as the Chinese sages
taught long ago, DR.. Kung declared,
when the big have learned to serve
the small and the strong have
learned to serve the weak.
The United Nations, he said, have
now an unusual opportunity to work
toward realization of world COM
monwealth in which all nations
shall live in peace and equality and
all peoples shall be protected in their
inalienable rights.
DR.. Kung gave assurances that his
government Is 'irrevocably commit
ted" to a democratic program and
Is well on the way toward full de-
velopment of q modern democracy
And. he said, the Chinese people
are solidly behind the national gov
ernment and its leader, Generals
simo Chang Kai-shek.
After addressing the Senate, DR.
Kung was the guest of honor at q
luncheon at the Capitol given by
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee. It
was attended by high Chinese ON
Gals, representatives of the State
Department, Senators and Repre-
sentatives.

the decisions of the FWA and the
WPB seemed to have been common
sense"
The increase in hospital facilities
achieved, Senator Tydings said, does
not touch the problem of replace
ment Of obsolete buildings.
1T has been the opinion OF this
agency, from the inception of the
Greater Washington hospital pro-
gram" Col. Fleming wrote, that
because of the transiency of the
population and the large portion
OF the residents of this area who
live in rooming houses or other
quarters in which it is difIicult to
take care of any illness in the
patients domicile, probably no city
in the United States needs as high
a ratio of beds per 1000 population
as does Greater Washington.
The rule-of-thumb figure COM
monty used to determine the ade-
quacy Of hospital facilities is four
beds per 1000 population. This
agency, however, does not consider
this is necessarily high enough. (
In the absence of enough nurses
and enough doctors to 60 around
for the purpose of making the
patient more accessible to the doc
tor or the nurse, many people
should be hospitalized who might
! ordinarily be sick at home.
Effectiveness Is TripIed.
There Is q great difference be-
tween the demands on doctor who
may see patients by walking down
hospital corridor. as opposed to
going from one end of the city to
another by automobile or other
means Of transportation. In gen.
eral. the effectiveness of doctor or
nurse is certainly tripled or prob
ably quadrhpled if the patients are
concentrated in a hospital"
Therefore, Gen. Fleming con-
cluded. there was a need during
the war" for about l,700 new hos
pital beds. He estimated that this
area now has 4,470 available hos
pital beds, exclusive of those in
Freedmens. Gallinger Municipal
Hospital, Leland Memorial, Green
belt, St Eizabeth's, Soldiers Home
and all beds reserved exclusively for

the opinion that about 1000 Of this
total are in obsolete or obsolescent

Soldier Vote Count
May Delay Election
| Outcome for Weeks
BY EDWARD CREAGH,
Associated Press stan Writer,

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Because
II States will not count their soldier
votes on Election Day, November I,
1t is possible tnat the outcome OF
the 1914 presidential election. will
remain In doubt for several weeks
after the polls close.
Should the election be unusually
close, the winner might not be
known until as late as December 7,
when the canvass of Nebraska's alb
sentee vote could determine whether
the States seven electoral votes
would be cast for President Roose-
welt or Thomas E. Dewey.
These possibilities grow out of an
Associated Press survey which indi-
Gates that more than 1000 900 men
and women in the armed forces have
applied for absentee ballots and
that, by the most conservative esti-
mates Of State election officials, ap-
proximately twice that number will
vote in November.
The soldier vote is likely to be de-
cisive in most of the II States which
do not Immediately tabulate'it, and
the 11-including Pennsylvania with
SO, California with ~ and Missouri
with 15-have a combined electoral
vote of 116. President Wilson's elec-
toral margin over Charles Evans
Hughes in 1916 was only 23.
In Pennsylvania, where officials
expect 100000 to 300, 900 soldier bal
lots, the absentee vote will be count
ed November %. '"The votes OF
100000 to 125,000 persons could
easily swing close election" COM

Martins official family. I'VE may
not know who has won until the
absentee votes are counted"
California, whose Secretary OF
State predicts q service vote OF
IT'S 900 to 100000. will not canvass
1t until November "a. Missouri, re-
ceiving more than 1000 ballot ap-
plications daily. will start counting
absentee votes the Friday after
election day.
O1 the states which will defer
their soldier vote count, eight gave
President Roosevelt a total of 90
electoral votes in 1910. The other
three gave Wendell l.. Willkie II.
Besides Nebraska, |Pennsylvania
California and Missouri the States
which will add up some or all of
