Many letters from station hos
pitals in Japan have been re
ceived by Arch L. Brewster,
commander of Salem chapter
No. 6, Disabled American Vet
erans, in appreciation of maga
zines sent by the chapter to the
hospitals.
The letters were received
through the Red Cross. Excerpts1
from some of them are:
"On behalf of the patients of
this hospital we would like to
extend to you their thanks and
ours for the nice selection of
magazines your chapter recent
ly mailed to this hospital."
"These magazines were imme
diately distributed to all bed
patients and also left in our rec
reation room where they were
available to the ambulatory pa
tients." "Due to the fact that maga
zines and books are quite scarce

USINESSMEN TO QUIT
!100 Years' Effort in China
Abandoned by the British
By PHIL NEWSOM
(United Preu Foreign Attaint)
I British business concerns in
China are throwing in the
towel.
i The first result is that they
will abandon assets valued un
officially at nearly one billion
dollars. The final result may
spread well beyond the borders
of Red China, and in fact become
world-wide.

A The news must have sent a
shiver of apprehension through
Hong Kong, the British crown
Colony standing at the gateway
to China.
i It must have caused serious
discussion in Tokyo where it
Would be realized that the di
version of British commercial
energies from China would give
the Japanese serious competi
tion in the markets of Thialand
Indo-China, Indonesia, Burma
and India.
It must have brought a grim
victory smile in Moscow and
Peiping.
Conversely, it could bring
brat even closer cooperation
peTween the United States and
Britain in Asia.
s In Britain itself, it could fore
shadow an even greater cleav
age between the conservative
forces of Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill and the left-wing
laborites led by Aneurin Bevan
Who have favored close rela
tions with the communist countries.
At any rate, British business
has found out the hard way that
a free enterprise system cannot
Operate under communist rules.
. . , ,
So the British will salvage
What they can and get out,
abandoning 100 years of effort.
8 What they get out with won't
be much.
i The communists have another
aeat system for taking over
whatever is left after their con
fiscatory taxes.
i They will demand virtual
ranson for the release of some
700 or so Britons still remaining
insme China.
, The ransom will come in the
form of fines for various "viola
tions" such as tax evasion, fail
ure to declare assets, or illegal
Sales, or in demands for vast
Bums to be paid former em
ployes. .

the British government has been
forced to accept one insult after
another from the Chinese Reds
and has not been able to pro
vide protection for British in
vestments behind the Bamboo
Curtain.
The other was that while the
British literally were losing
their shirts in China, a sovereign
Japanese nation already was
taking away markets in South
east Asia, notably in Indonesia
and India.
