CHINESE GIVE £IOO.
TOWARDS NATIONAL FUNDS. As a result of a collection taken in conjunction with the day of semi-fasting conducted among Chinese residents in New Zealand to commemorate the conclusion of the first year of the war with Japan, Chinese residents of Auckland city subscribed over £IOO. This is only a provisional figure, as it is expected that it will be greatly increased when the suburban and country collections are received by the organisers. Local Chinese are contributing a weekly levy from their earnings, and this money is being forwarded with other collection funds to China to be used for various relief measures. In the collection taken last Thursday it is reported that 100 Chinese residents in Otago and Southland contributed £37 4/6. The Auckland Chinese Association has 600 members.
