CAMPUS
ACTIVITIES
Faculty Members Told
Experiences in China

At the Faculty Chat at Charles
McKenny Hall Monday afternoon
DR.. George Wilder, missionary
in China for 40 years and recently
an exchange passenger on the Grip
sholm, spoke on The Reservoir of
Good VIII for Americans in China.
In introducing his topic. DR..
Wilder said that we are indebted
to Wendell Willkie for discovering
this reservoir OF good will on his
40 day trip around the world. Dr..
Wilder mentioned also that he had
discovered this same feeling to-
wards Americans during his 40
years OF experience in China.
In describing his experiences in
a Japanese internment camp six
months prior to his return to
America, DR.. Wilder said that the
Japanese were strict but quite len
lent. allowing the 1900 internees
in the camp such privileges as
gardens and baseball three times a
week. Internees also received food
and supplies from the Chinese who
operated black market over the
camp walls.
The great amount OF suffering
caused BY the Japanese occupa-
ton OF Picking was described by
DR.. wilder, who spoke Of initiation,
soaring prices, the impossibility
OF getting food because the Japa-
nese controlled the supply so no
food could get into free China
and the subsequent starving to
death OF between 400 and 500 peo-
pie a day in Picking alone.
In closing. DR.. Wilder said that
although Americans had done some
things which might provoke an
tagonism on the part OF the CHI
nese. they appreciate American
help and can be valuable Allies IN
the present war.
