Morale Still High in Spite Of Three Years Pitiless War

(By GEOIIGE‘; FITCH)

NBA lenioo Special Correspondent

All over China. today they are singing a song:

"We have no shoes, we have no bread. we have no guns;

"But wait- the enemy will give them to us."

The heavy Chinese broadsword I brought home with me from Chunk- king is such a "gift." It is hand- forged from a length of steel rail stolen at night by Chinese guerrillas who risked their lives to get it. They had -fo tear up the tracks and curry the rail away under the very noses of Japanese troops patrolling the north-south railway in "oc- cupied territory" from Hankow to Peking.

Almost all the steel used by the

famous Eighth Route Army and that of Marshal en Shi-san, the “model governor" of Shansi, is

obtained from the Japanese in just this way". I have seen three differ- ent types of revolvers made from such stolen steel mils, some crude' and awkward, some beautiful pieces of mechanism. All were made to use Japancso ammunition. for they count on the enemy to "give"

them the bullets, too.

When I was in the Northwest of China. they offered to stage a raid for me, to show me how this was done. Unfortunately I could not wait the week they said was necessary to journey to the rail- road and back. _ -

Today the steel rails are still bola: forged into weapons, but the guerrillas now complain that Japa- nese shoes and uniforms are so worn and ratrg-fd and their food so poor that it hardly pays to risk life and limb to obtain them. That is a s‘riklng contrast with “that. I saw in Nanking two and a half years arm.

and all her household possessions were shattered by a bomb through her roof —-no complaint. From the grain merchant whose stores for the year disappeared in ﬂ Single blaze —no complaint. From the river boatman whose entire family was wiped out in an air raid —no complaint.

From the whole Chinese people in the fourth year of war —no murmur of discouragement, no whisper cf anything but complete faith in the justice of their cause and the integrity of their leaders. The surge of national morale is like a tidal wave. It is the strong- est single factor in China's chance of victory. There is some conscious organization behind it, of course. Morale is built by streamlined agencies, chiefly the Kuomingtang (Nationalist party), the Three- Peopleks-Principles Youth Corps. and the Resist Japan University .of the Eighth Route Army..

The first has an office in every county seat and provincial capi- tal; the second is a non-political organization of some B000 young men and women trained to edu- cate the people in wartime du- ties and precautions.

I shall never forﬂt a concert I heard in Northwest China last summer. ‘There was a make-shift orchestra of a dozen pieces, the cello made from an American five- gallon can. ‘Ihey played well en- ough, but it was the chorus of c hundred mixed voices which held me spellbound. They sang the ‘Yellow River," a recently oom- posed cantata in ten parts. It was like nothing I had ever heard before, neither classical Chinese, nor western, but something new which they had created themselves. It was born of infinite suffering, the voices of the river, the workers, famine. exiles, the grief of women. Some of those plaintive and stirring strains still ring in my ears.

A gossip cclum in the Star said “There is a likelihood that Juliana and her daughters may be in England by Chzlstmas, if only on a visit." He recalled that Juliana was married Jan. 7, 1937, and that her lealaitger daughter was born Jan.

(It has been reported Princess Juliana is to visit Washington this month, which would seem to be a. further indication that an Atlantic voyage is unlikely.)
