Secret Ports Beat Blockade Enemy Bribcli To Move, Arms j

By GIDRGI A. ‘PITCH NBA Special correspondent

Even the staggering blows of the three-month closing of Burma Road and the aPPfl-"nfly permanent closing of the Indo- Chlna “lifeline" into China have not stumped the Chinese in their resourceful efforts w keen needed military supplies comini 111-

On my return to Chungking from l-longkong last May, I traveled I- route that well illustrates the "ways" China has developed in evading the blockade. The Can- tcn-Kowloon Railway from Hcmg- kong took me to Taipo. Bl- {he oestem extremity of the British Leased Territory, and thence by steamer across Mfrs Bay into the small port of Shayucheng in Chi- nese terrltory- Twenty miles w the west the Japanese were in oc- cupation, holding all the Bret! surrounding Canton. Shayucheui; Ii.» 1f had been taken by the Japa- nese two years ago, but has chang- ed hands more than once. g .

Here the beach was literally covered with bales and drums. quantities of kerosene and oil, military material, machinery even cigarets destined for free China; tin tung oil, paper and tea des- tined for the outside world.

I hiked through the hills, over a. low divide, to the next. depot. Tarnsul. Over the entire 20 miles a double stream of carriers, mostly women, were ploddingto and from the sea. thinking nothing of a. load of ‘T5 pounds on each end of a bamboo carrying-pole. At Tamsur the freight is loaded on boats and carried up the East river for dis- tribution throughout free China. Two days after I left Shayucheng, the Japanese bombed the beach._ but did little damage for supplies are kept well scattered.

The average time for freight covering this bustling trade route from Hongkung to Laolung is eight days, though a fleet of bicyclists maintain a two and a half day service over the road for mail and for passengers tough enough to take it. You ride pillion, seated on a luggage carrier over the rear wheel, while the man at the handle- bars pedals madly over shelilioles, temporary bridges and the debris oi many a battlefield.

BLOCKADE FAR. FROM AIR-TIGHT

In Shaokwan I saw a vivid ex- ample of the efficiency with which the Chinese government is carrying on. I called on Y. C. Koo com- missioner of finance (pr Kwangtung, in his headquarters in a limestone

cave a few miles outside the city. ‘

The Japanese know the location of the cave. and have repeatedly tried to blast him out. But he and his staff manage to collect provincial taxes under the very noses of the Japanese --in areas which on maps are claimed by the Japanese and have actually in- creased the governments revenue over the pre-wnr figure without imposing hardships or raising the rates.

The Japanese blockade of the,

coast of China is far from alr- tigiit. The Chinese junk captain is famous as a blockade-runner, and many are now risking their lives in this dangerous work. The coast is indented with many small harbors, and smuggling provides a thin but continual stream of imports.

In Chcklang and Fuklcn a semi-legalized system of smug- gling ls carried on with the con- nivnnce of corruptlble Japanese authorities. In many such cities there are Japanese concessionnlres who for a consideration will un- dertake to get almost any cargo past military and naval officials. Some of the northern guerrilla forces actually get supplies through Tlentsln, where they have to pass through the Japanese military lines.

A friend of mine told of seeing a clip of cartridges pass from the hand of a Japanese sentry into the sleeve of a Chinese who was being searched at the barricade at the edge of the concession.

Many Japanese officers have made fortunes at such business. The narcotics traffic, amounting to $5,000,000 Chinese currency month- ly in the Nanklngarea alone, is also enriching many officers, am. adds to the temptation of men in the lower ranks.

RUSSIAN INFLUENCE HELD NEGLI BIBLE

The famous "Russian Road" can never be of great importance in transporting ..e heavy materials China needs. Incidentally, all ship- ments over this road go not to the “Communist Army" of China, but to a representative of the Central Government at Lnnclioiv.

I found no evidence at all that the Special Border Area. occupied by the Communist Eighth Route Army is su‘ ctcd to any special I sslan influence.

Pictures of Sun Yul-sen and GQTICHIHSSIXXIO Chlang were always central in the offices and schools I visited in the “Conunuttlsfl area.

Not once did I sec ilzc red flag of the U. S. S. R I lountl no evidence of money or supplies coming to this area dirvct frccn Russia. There was not a Russian adviser in the whole area. No airplanes were coming to the troops from Russia, for they had none.

Mao Tse-luu“ their political loader, told me quite frankly. "We do not. want Moscow to be plant- ed in China!" He was insistent that his forces were united with the rest of China in the common determination to resist Japan.

utlng center d for

supplies from Russia, is ecidedly antl-Com- munist. To my mind, Russian aid is going to China not in exchange for some sort of lien or mortgage on China's future. but simply be- cause Russia prefers a strong, in- dependent China wllh which the U. S. S. R. may trade freely, instead of a Japan-controlled China with neither open ports nor Open Door

The position o. Communism in China is far different today from what it was in the days of Boro- din a-nd Bluecher in 1921. From the capture of Chiang in Elan in 1936 to date, the Chinese Com- munists have shown themselves to be first, Chinese, and second, Communist, and even their “Com- munlsni" emphasizes eliminating corruption, usury, absentee land- lordism, opium and destituticn. . Thus it ismore like an agrarian reform, or even Chinng's New Life movement, tin... Sovietism.

SOLDIER COMES INTO IIIS OWN

Gen. Chiang Kai-Shel: feels keenly that China is fighting the world's battle for democracy. When I saw him Just before 1| lcft Chungklng, he was as keen, as, fr , as alert as ever. He said to

m

"China's war of resistance is not only to her own benefit, but to the benefit of the whole Far East and the entire world."

Fulfilment of that prophecy .. or wish, however, rests not only in the personality of Chlaug himself, but also in the make-up of the Chinese soldier. Throughout the past, the soldier has been at the bottom of the Chinese social lad- der. The scholar, the man of learn- ing. was at the top. ‘The farmer come next because he fed the peo- ple. Then the artisan the crafts- mrin. Below him, the merchant, and at the very bottom, the soldier. But today, the soldier is coming into his (rum, He knows what he is fighting

or.

To be sure, among the 3.500.000 men under arms in China today,, there arc some of the old civil wnr type. earning gram rain caps, perhaps even umbrellas, on their backs. Tut even among these poorly trained soldiers, the spirit is much the same. Japan is the invader of their land, the despoiler of their homes, the violator their women, and they are ready to fight to the death to drive that enemy out.

MARY IIILDA MacEACIIERN

On the morning of Friday, Nov- ember Bth, 1040, the spirit of Mary Hilda MacEachern winged its way Heavenward as she was tenderly nlntched over by her belovlng fern-

y.

Hilda was born in bong Creek on July l1, i908 the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Neil MacEachern. At the ea-ly age of seventeen she was stricken with an unusual form of paralysis and for many months was unable to leave her bed. After be- ing carefully nursed by her mother and sister. Sara, who came home from Hnverhlll to help care for her, she soon regained a great measure of health and once more was able to take her part in the work of the household, attend church, and en- Joy the social life of the commun-

ity.

But this beautiful young life was not destined for the usual span of years; after a. few years of ap- parent henlth, the disease iigall laid hold of her, and Hilde could walk only with great difficulty?”

with a very beautiful faith and calm assurance that God's will was best, Hilda quietly bore the heavy burden of this illness which slowly gained headway. For the last two years she was compelled to remain in bed all the time but no word of complaint was ever heard from her lips. Her many friends helped while away the hours for her by their frequent visits and went sway cheered by her quiet air of happy resignation. In June she said. good- by to her only brother, Melbourne. who ls serving with the C. A. B. F. in England. Lister in the sum- mer. she enjoyed the Sacrament, when by her pastor, Rm. Thos. . Goodwill, who also visited her fre- quently.
