CHINA’S “V FOR VICTORY”

China has had a “V for Victory” campaign for four years against Japan.

Chinese in Japanese-occupied territory use the Chinese characters ‘‘Chin How San Lee” —literally ‘‘Eventual Victory.”

The Chinese Consul-General (Dr C. J. Pao), said:

‘‘Australians should regard the ‘V,’ not at a fashionable slogan but as a powerful psychological victory stimulus.

‘‘The Chinese very quickly realised that psychological weapons could be as powerful as military arms in modern warfare.

‘‘The symbols were banned in Japanese-occupied territory, but the Chinese people continued to wiite them up in defiance.

“The Chinese victory slogan strengthened the morale of the people so much that other slogans were introduced in 1938.”
