THE QUAKERS' RECORD
WHY AN FAU? is a singularly Chinese-looking question to be faced with, and if 1 had not encountered it within the covers of a reiport—the fourth—of the Friends' Ambulance Unit 1 should have found my rather low-standard sagacity unequal to the occasion (writes " Janus " in the 'Spectator,'). Even so I should have written F.A.U.. though I admit that FAU has aesthetic attractions. To the question the whole booklet is an answer, and a very impressive answer it is, this record of the work of men who are not ready to fight but quite ready to be killed, as many of them have been, in' the service of humanity. They are working in the Middle East, in Abyssinia, in Bengal, in China and at all sorts of tasks here at home. " Our three teams are all in the field." one of them writes me direct from the depths of China. " I spend the time rushing down to the front and up again (He is doing medical work of various kinds) ... it all helps in Chineseforeign relations." This particular member of the Unit has behind him a striking record of ambulance-driving, first in Finland, then in Norway, and after that fire-fighting through the 1940-41 blitzes in the East End. Now China. Next, what? The F.A.U. m this war has more than lived up to the standards it set in the last.,
