ALLIES AND CHINA
EVER-INCREASING AID. MR ROOSEVELT’S DECLARATION. EXCLUSION LAW; CONDEMNED. (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright.) (Rec. 11.5:) WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. President Roosevelt, in a Message to Congress, urged the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Law, thereby correcting history’s mistake and silencing distorted Japanese propaganda. Referring to China’s gallant struggle against great odds, Mr Roosevelt said: “China understands that our strategy required concentration of the greater part of the Allied strength on the European front, and that available supplies were limited by difficulties of transportation. China knows that substantial aid will be forthcoming as soon as possible, not only in weapons and supplies, but also in the carrying out of plans already made for offensive effective action. We and our allies will aim our forces at the heart of Japan in ever - increasing strength until the common enemy is driven from China’s soil.”
