Chapter 62 3. Overseas communication

Brother Kang De: I received the 49th, 50th, and 51st issues of "Cosmic Wind".The latest letter has not been dated, sorry it was sent in November.Lichang is in Ningbo, Haige is back in Chongqing, Boxu is in England, I live in the United States, and I haven’t heard from you for a long time. State affairs and personnel affairs have changed a lot in a year.I don't know whether the country is safe or not after returning home?Shanghai at that time was not the Shanghai at this time, and it is uncertain where to live.If it can fly into Sichuan, it will look good.However, if the war can last for a long time, we can be optimistic, and we will win in the end.But it's not convenient for brother to speak later.

There are people to report here: One is to raise donations for the Chinese Women's Relief Association in New York to help the wounded soldiers. The person in charge is Mrs. Wang Zhengxu, and more than ten Chinese women are assisting, working day and night.A few days ago, 30,000 yuan was remitted to Mrs. Jiang.The fundraising meeting was held yesterday. Ms. Cheng sang and scolded the palace, as well as makeup, auction of antiquities, etc. The results were also good.Most overseas Chinese in New York go to China every Sunday to sell flowers and play dragons, and they often donate 3,000 yuan a day.Over the past three months, donations from overseas Chinese in the United States have reached more than three million yuan. Laundry shops and restaurants have pledged monthly donations. Some laundry workers have handed over all three thousand small coins (worth five cents) to the Bank of China. The spirit is really good. admire.What do you want?Could it be that China's land was preserved?If the country does not exist, why should the family be?Those who are dearly known by overseas Chinese.The second is the boycott of Japanese goods in the United States, which mainly boycotts silk goods.Eighty-five percent of Japanese raw silk is exported to the U.S., accounting for more than half of the U.S. imports of Japanese goods, and women's silk stockings (manufactured in the U.S.) are the main products.Recently, female college girls and female college students in the United States no longer wear silk stockings, but Lisle (fine cotton), which was first initiated by Smith Women's University and has continued to develop.I once saw a movie where hundreds of girls from Rochester Academy lined up from the auditorium, holding a stocking in each hand, and throwing it into the trash can.Also, boys from Western Province declared that they would not dance with girls wearing stockings.The rest of the Japanese goods are free to boycott.There are countless agencies in the United States that are doing this now, such as the African War Alliance.This alliance is the "United Front" of the Labor Party, the left, and literati. There are more than 3,000 branches across the country. It is expected that the boycott movement will gradually develop.Third, the policy of the US President's Secretary of State is constrained by Senators, "neutralists" and "peacemakers".The peacemakers of this faction are extremely organized and operate exclusively in Washington, with the purpose of avoiding being drawn into the whirlpool.And it is indeed a claim of beauty.But one part is the opposite.Last week, the New York "Times" ran a long editorial, denouncing "peacemakers" and "neutralists", titled "America Stands by", saying that the loss of the United States' status as an international leader today and the failure of the Bijing Conference are all due to this generation of peacemakers due to.In yesterday's full-page correspondence, nineteen all agreed with the newspaper's proposition.Peacemakers came forward to defend, saying that they are not opposed to international cooperation.Therefore, the dispute between the two factions will inevitably ebb and flow with the development of the war.The root cause is all because of the word "fear of war".However, the war between Japan and the United States is all a dream; it is not a war to blow up the ambassador, it is not a war to destroy the national flag, it is not a war to kill dozens of soldiers (no matter where), this can be asserted.Therefore, the war between Japan and the United States is all groundless worry. My brother once told Bruce Bliven (he is the editor-in-chief of "New Republic Weekly" and a strong advocate of neutrality), and he also agreed, and he agreed to discuss it.

The most notable argument is Nathaniel Peffer, a so-called Far East expert who returned from China and Japan and is now teaching Far East current affairs in Columbia.The long article was published in the December issue of Herpers Magazine. The main idea of ​​the article is that no matter the outcome of this battle, Japan will be seriously injured. The so-called "Japan lones anyway" is an economic argument.It is also said that Japan will fall into the status of a small country.The key lies in whether China can resist the long-term end or not.On November 28, he wrote Wendeng's "The Times" again, entitled "Has China Lost?Has the war started? ", he said that there is no problem with the fall of Nanjing, and even if Japan enters Hankou, it is only the beginning of a real war.If China can change its strategy and adopt guerrilla warfare, then Japan will have to garrison at least 400,000 troops in the Chinese borders and only obtain railways in important cities, and it will be a lot of trouble to maintain transportation.Another article appeared in the "Times" on December 5th, taking Manchuria as an example. It is well known that Japan must rely on stationing heavy troops to conquer China; (Original post by airmail)

My younger brother will leave the United States for Europe in early February next year; one has lived here for a year and a half, and the other has already finished speaking, and his lips are burnt.Cool winter in February, live on the Mediterranean coast of Italy and France for a while.In mid-March, I planned to go to London. The British sympathized with China, and wanted to be more spiritually happy.The sympathy of the United States is probably not worth a penny.From then on, I hope that Xia Jian can return to China, depending on the situation.Before leaving the United States, you must finish compiling the collections of Confucius and put them into the Modern Library, that is, "editing" in the United States.Attached is a review of my younger brother's new book by The Times.
