CHINA'S STRENGTH
DEPENDS UPON U.S.
ASSERTS SPEAKER
"There cannot be peace In the
Far East without a strong cnma
and a strong China largely de
fends on us," Thlf statement
kevnoted the lecture by Geral
dine Townsend Fitch, who spoke
last night at the Medford nlgn
aehool on "The New China In the
New Pacific," the last In a series
of four lectures sponsored by the
Medford Rotary club.
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.

JACKSON COUNTY FARM NOTES
Compiled by County Office O. 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.
