"China In The SUM-" by Ran.
dali Gould. Doubleday.

Dispatches from China bring dis
turbing news that Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek's Kuomintang for
ces and the Communists are Still
having difficulty reconciling their
differences.
In the light of this condition. a
unified China as a rallying force
to which all other nations in the
Orient may turn to for leadership
seems to be a development for
which the world must wait patient
ly.
But Randall Gould, editor of the
American editor of the Shanghai
Evening Post and Mercury, who
has lived more than two decades
in the Orient, gives us some hope in
shining, and China is in the SUM-
Gould, an "Old China Hand" who
doesn't care to be called an "Old
China Hand" writes: THE sun is
shining, and hina is in the sum-
He also adds that China is in
the sun not because of her desire
or effort but through an enex-
orable cycle of events"
Far from being the Frustrated,
helpless hulk that many Western
ers believe her to be, China today
is a vigorous youngster eager to
tackle the most Herculean problems
of the day She has not yet be-
gun to speak, but she has great
possibilities, according to Gould.
The Chinese, this author in
sists, are no more mysterious
than we are. They are human
in their thinking just like any
body else by "sensitivity and real
ism.
Two main factors will shape
China's place in the Orient. They
are: What kind of world shall We
have tomorrow" and What kind

EDITORIAL;

Tomoya KaWakita, a 25-year-old American
Of japanese ancestry, was indicted on treason
charge recently in Los Angeles. The Indictment
accused the Nisei of torturing and prosecuting
American prisoners Of war in Japanese prison
camp where he repeatedly a foreman.
The first accusation of its kind since Pearl
Harbor the Indictment does not stand up well
in view of the fact that Americans in general
have had nothing but admiration for the undying
loyalty Of the Nisei and their CT buddies who
served so valiantly in World War Ii.
Federal prosecutors have launched an in
yestigation to determine how kaWakita slipped
into the country. How was he able to get per-
mission from American officials to return to
America? We would like to know too.
Like the Nisei Veterans Association of Los
Angeles, we believe our government should en-
force stlicter screening i'll Japan Of war
stranded persons seeking repatriation to the
United States before we are flooded with unde
sirable persons with mAmerican thoughts. Our
nation has no room for fence-straddlers

Oh OillI1d SIldll we ndNtf
The United Nations Organization
is making commendable strides
through its political, social and e.
economic programs. Now, Gould says,
it is up to the Chinese themselves
to keep their part of the new deal
by putting their house in order.
The Kuomintang's inability to cope
with its unification plan before the
conclusion of World War II is due
to the struggle to hold off the ia
panese invaders and second, to the
effort to keep government intact
with the support of the Commu-
nists..
In speaking of the relations of
the Kuomintang and the Com
munists, Gould insists that the
Communists we're important to the
Kuomintang regime only because
they were armed. He adds the
Communists did not comprise the
only minority group.
Of course any subject dealing
with China must include, whether
it is desirable or not, foreign Pc
netration into China. The author
like other experts on Far Eastern
affairs, maintains that the Japa-
nese invasion of Manchuria in 1881
was the chief factor leading to the
unification of the Chinese people.
Students of China will be inter-
ested to note that, in Gould's OPP
inion, the Russians won't bother
the Chinese because the two na-
tons have a signed understanding
of mutual on-interference. But
Gould comedies, if Russia, reared i'll
the school of realism, feels that
her security is endangered by Chi
mas not ending her civil strife, she
(Russia) would form chain of buff
fer states which would include
Outer Mongolia, northwest China,
Manchuria and possibly Korea.
Gould touches lightly on China S
economic problems which, at the
outset, seem no more difficult than
our own labor problems during the
Hoover administration. He advises
slow, carefully planned indus
trial and agricultural progress for
the Chinese.
AS to the future of Christian
missions in China, the author
is optimistic, saying that the
courage shown by the mission
aires under fire of Japanese
treachery during the Sino-Japa-
nese war won for them a definite
place in the hearts of the Chi
nese.
| Although he stumbles clumsily
past many dates and names
things which are always irksome
| to record in book intended to CO.
yer SO complex subject as China
Gould does we'll in skimming
through period of pistol-packing
war lordism and political uncer-
tainties.
Gould lacks the fierce frankness
of Lin Yutang, author of Between
Tears and Laughter" but his SUBJ
tie presentation of a China rudely
awakened from her series of bad
dreams studded with internal up
heavals offers much better reaa-
ing that do DR.. Lin's efforts tc
stir racial pride.
1t is also refreshing to note that
Gould. writing sympathetically and
with wit, does not try to glamoriZe
China as many foreign correspon-
dents have done.

fifty-two years of useful existence
of the club.
There was already in existence
a General Federation of Women's
clubs, which had been organized
chiefly through the efforts of the
New York Sorosis and the little
club here. before it was a year
old, had joined the General Fed
GRAFTON. The president of the club
was then asked to become a Gen
eral Federation officer the
title of state Chairman of Cor
respondence," and with the duty
of interesting other clubs to join
the Federation. .
In 1902 that North Carolina
State Federation was formed in
Winston : Salem during the COM
mencement exercises OF Salem
college, and one member of North
Carolina Sorosis served as temp
orary secretary and another one,
Miss Marraret l.. Gibson, was E.
lected permanent secretary and
later became state president. AT
ter that our local club continued
as a member of the General Fed
GRAFTON through the State Fedora
ion.
The original, Sorosis took a
kindly interest in its namesake in
those early days and at least two
of our members have been its
guests. My own visit there occuf-
red in the spring of 1897 through
a letter of introduction to the re-
firing president, Mrs. William
Tod Helmuth. The details of that
meeting are very clear in mem
ory. 1t was held in the ball room
of the Waldorf, with the new pres
ident, Mrs. Mary Dame Hall, pre-
siding. 1t seems that later on
there was some misunderstanding
in the club because Mrs. Hall al
lowed a shoe company to name
one Of their styles after the club
name. However, at his meeting
Mrs. Hall was most warmly vel
coined and presided charmingly

In the early days of North Caro-

by some years the general intro

tablishment Of the first free pub

ty. This was done in 1906 when
