Last week Chiang Kai-shek vented strong pro-American sentiments, declaring that "any country in the world matching itself against American democracy would meet with certain destruction." He added that with material and economic aid China would undertake to defeat Japan without the help of a foreign expeditionary force or naval action...
...China last fortnight Franklin Roosevelt's oldest son Jimmy addressed Hong Kong's American Club, last week shook hands with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in Chungking, heard his first air-raid alarm (minus planes), got ready to fly to Cairo for a firsthand view of British Near East strategy. Seeking Pacific Clip per passage for himself and Major Gerald Thomas, his companion, Jimmy had found the Clipper booked up. Most vulnerable reservation was that of a U.S. General. Captain Roosevelt...
...subtle twist in this morale offensive, which was aimed at Chungking in general and at Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in particular, was that one of the towns the Japanese advance rolled past was Fenghua, the "Gissimo's" birthplace.

...precipitous outward flow of missionaries has been reversed. Chiang Kai-shek not only invites all missionaries forced to leave Japanese-held areas to come to the interior, but his Ministry of Finance makes all arrangements to fly them free of charge from Hong Kong to Chungking. Businessmen, officials, visitors wait bookings on the crowded planes but missionaries are given seats. Last week eight more U.S. and Canadian churchmen reached the capital from Occupied China; well over 100 have arrived since January. Four-fifths of the Americans now in Free China are church workers...
