Mrs. Fitch, an American au thor who lived In China for 20 years, enumerated steps taken during the war towards treating China as an equal, out termea the refusal of Russia to sit with China at Dumbarton Oaks and the failure to Invite Generalls- ilmo Chiang Kai-shek to partlcl cate In the Quebec conference. which dealt speclflclally with Pacific strategy, backward steps on the road to International un derstanding. At Critical Point "Now, at the most critical stage In China's seven and a half years of war, when she most needs our aid, she Is forced to face a wave of anti-Chinese propaganda, an attempt to be little her contribution to the war effort, perhaps as an alibi for our failure to send more lena-iease help." Mrs. Fitch explained that the amount of lend-lease which has reached China since Pearl Har bor is no more than required to "equip one division of American troops for one week of combat." She told of recent battles In which Chinese armies have had only one gun for every eight sol diers, and an allowance of three bullets per soldier per month. Mrs, Fitch's interpetatlon of the communist situation in China was one of the highlights of her discourse She compared the problem to the American Civil .War and Its question of secession. "The communists Insist upon their own army, their own cur rency and their own government. Any land they seize during the war they use to expand their own territory rather than turn ing It over to the government. Recent accusations against the character of the government in handling this situation are com pletely false." Mrs. Fitch, who knows the Chiang Kai-sheks per sonally, said that If the govern ment has been at all reactionary It Is only due to the present crisis, for Chiang has promised complete representation In the government, even to communists, after the war. Btllwell Discussed Another highlight In Mrs. Fitch's speech was her discus sion of the recall of General Stll well from Burma. She believes that many columnists have made wild guesses for lack of facta and that General StUwell'a tempera ment la not the real reason at 11. "Fifty thousand Chlneta trained under Americans in India were cnt to northern Burma to fight for Stillwell rather than return ed to China where Chiang so des perately needed them. The Gen eralissimo wns promised an am phibious landing in Rangoon to compensate for this, but the land ing was never made. The present strategy of dividing China proper from the Burma theatre of war Is a more workable strategy, as well as being fairer to the Chin ese who are fighting to hold Chungking." In summing up, the lecturer pointed to the debt we owe China for checking the Japanese before they over-ran Australia and probably keeping them from reaching our own west coast, Our Debt Large "Part of this debt Is to the 26, 000 Chinese people who were massacred by the Japanese for helping American boys forced down In the historic Doollttle raid on Tokyo." After describing the unde featable spirit of the people. Mrs. Fitch turned to the coninoution which the New China could be expected to make to the new world order, "If we treat her fairly and lend her strength. We need China as she needs us and it Is high time we practice what we have been preaching to her people for years, namely, the 'Brotherhood ol Man, she concluded. a. m. Too UH to CluilOr 13:90 LT.

S. C fxtenslon Service Sudan Grass Seed Loans Available With a large crop of Sudan grass seed available in the coun try there is a considerable sur plus that has not been sold. A Commodity Credit corporation loan is available on this seed at 6c per pound for top grades and anyone wishing to take advant age of this loan should apply at once at the county AAA office, third floor, courthouse. Applica tions must be made before De cember 31. . Warehouses In which sudan grass seed is stored under the loan program must be approved by the Commodity Credit cor- poration. Phosphate Supplies Tieduced for Year A sudden upturn In military demands for sulphuric acid baa reduced prospective supplies of phosphate fertilizer from an early estimate of 7,000,000 tons to 6,500,000 tons, according to the war food administration This compares with 7,600,000 tons used last year. The reduction In supplies, says WFA, will bring no change In per cent approved fertilizer grades. No changes were re ported In the over-all supply sit uation for nitrogen, which con tinues short in relation to re quirements. Severe shortages of some nitrogen compounds may occur. Potash supplies are rela tively plentiful. Fewer Pork Chops Prospect for 194S The department of agricul ture predicts that the 1945 pro duction of all meats for the com ing year will be almost 2,000. 000,000 pounds less than this year's Indicated output of a lit tle over 24,500,000,000 pounds, with the decrease largely due to reduced hog production. The meat supply for civilians will depend upon military de velopments in Europe, but pres ent supplies are running about 15 per cent under the same period last year. A victory for the Allies in Europe early In 1945 would reduce military and lend-lease requirements by over 1,000,000,000 pounds. R. G. Fowler, . County Agent. . TOKYO RADIO CLAIMS . U. S.
