Eight Reasons Why China Needs Your Help Now 1. After eight years of tragic was China is hungry, war weary and rav- aged by disease. She suflfered more than ten million casualties; roads, railroads, bridges and towns weit destroyed. The Japanese carried away 400 million tons of iron and machinery. The Russians stiipped the Manchurian factories. Transpor- tation is paralyzed. Inflation is ma- pant. Mow the country is torn by'a ruinous civil war. 2. It is under such conditions that Communism thrived. If China goes Communist with her one quarter of the human race, the stage is set for World War III. Canada has the higli- est standard of living in the world and her cities and industries are un- touched by war. It is our responsi- bility and privilege to feed the hun- gry and heal the sick of our ^od neighbor China. If we act now W4 can help save China. 3. The need for clothing, drugs, medical comforts and food is great and urgent. Inflation makete it im- possible for the people to help them- selves. As an example, it requires one million dollars to buy a |500 piece of Canadian hospital eQuii^ent 4. It is to Canada's interest to help China in this way because most at the money for these necessary sup- plies is spent here. .A. renewed China means markets for Canadian goods, and on our part we need Chinese wood-oil (for our paint industry), Chinese silk, tea, medicine, roots, bristled, hides, porcelain and many other articles of ti'ade. 5. Canada and China are next doOf neighbors. We were allies in both world wars. We are deeply indebted to China for her eight years' uneqoel struggle in holding down half a mill- ion trained Japanese soldiers to the bitter end. Winfeton Churchill, Bri- tain's war-time Premier, said in one of his speeches: "We owe a de^ debt of gratitude to our loyad ally, the unconquerable Chinese." There ib every reason for real friendship between Canada and (Thina. 6. China united and prosperous eao be a great force for world peace. China diaynited, or Communist, can be a world menace. 7. Canada is one of the few na- tions not smashed by war. China's need is our c^)portunity to make a real thankoffering â€" not a donation, Out an investment in the post-wai world. "United nations are more powerful than split atoms."' 8. Canada was the "arsenal of de- mocracy" in war. Let us make h«i the "arsenal of reconstruction" in a world devastated by war.
