Prime Minister Churchilrs use

American help for China drew
an editorial protest in the Chi
nese Press today.
Ia Kung Pao, China's most
influential newspaper, said the
world should realize that Brit
ain and America were not en-
tirely free from responsibility,
at least morally, for China's mil
itary weakness, and that Ameri-
can lend-lease help to China
amounted only TO one or two per
cent of the total given the AL
lies.
For four years before Pearl
Harbor China fought single
handed, receiving only rather
limited" help from Russia,
America and Britain, the news
paper said. Meanwhile she suf-
fered great hardship through
Britains closure of the Burma
road and Japanese air bomb
ings with American-made bombs
and American-supplied gaso-
line"
After Pearl Harbor, when
America and Britain became her
Allies, China was entitled legit-
imately to ask assistance from

left China to prosecute a war

1t also complained that Bri-
tain, receiving much greater
American aid than China, even
now is experiencing military
setbacks in the Orient.

front are sorely in need of coun-

itorial said, "but the British

LEI Coniratt
on 5 Drains
\, One Excessive
Bid Rejected

Closely approaching the COM
pletion of the 1914 drain build
ing program, five drain con-
tracts were awarded Thursday
by Drain Commissioners VIII
liam c. Harper, while a sixth,
previously re-advertlsed be-
cause the contractors estimate
was too high, will be offered
again, after Harper's second re-
lection of the bid.
The rejection concerned Sec
ton / of the Cottrell Creek
drain upper end) which Viii
liam E. Malow's firm offered to
complete for $1,000. Harper said
this amount appeared excessive.
He approved, however, Section
2 of this drain, offered at $4,000
by the Meredith Company.
The original bid on both Sec
tions of the drain was ST., 900
and Harper respected this in
July. When re-advertised he pitt
it into two sections, which
brought the $500 and $4,000
bids.
The Cottrell project affected
Clinton, Lake and Harrison
Township and benefits 1000
acres of farm and subdivision
land.
Another highlight of Harper'S
drain contract letting yesterday
was the rejection with empha-
sis) of an excessive bid on the
Stadler Drain, a tWo-mile pro-
ject in Clinton and Sterling
Township. This went to the
Malow firm with a 81, l94 bid.
Unsuccessful bidders were Mer-
edith, $4,000 Dispain & Green,
S3,965 and Funari & Company,
S15,4O0. (The latter bid, Harp
er said, was a serious one-but
not taken seriously by the Drain
Office.)
The Smith-Rivard drain, War
rem Township, went to Stade &
Back for $1,000. 1t benefits resi-
dences and farms in the Hoover
i Mile road district.
The contract for the Hide
brande G. Branches drain went
to the Malow company for ST.
995, with Dispain & Green DIS
high bidders at $500. This
drain is in Clinton and Sterling
Townships.
Contract for the three-mile
Eukuk drain in Sterling and
Clinton Townships was awarded
to the lowest of four bidders,
the Meredith Company, for
$4,000, Harper announced. Its
benefits farm land.

The husband Of the former
Virginia Rcan, Of Melvin ave-

was one of a group of Army Air
Forces radio technicians who
were being flown to an outlying
post in the Aleutian Islands,
from Anchorage, Alaska.
The transport plane which
carried the group left Anchor

heard from since that time. A
Today search by Army planes,
centering around the missing
transports last reported posi-
ton, near the Island or UnlnaK
in the Aleutian group, proved Of
no avail, an official report states.
Before entering the Army in
January of 1913, Pvt. Delmar
was an engineering student at
the Lawrence Technical school
in Detroit, which he entered af-
ter graduation from Burton High
School in RoScVillc.
