SALVATION ARMY
RELATIONS WITH JAPAN WELLINGTON, December 3. Brigadier Annie Smyth, a New Zealand officer of the Salvation Army, who has returned after serving 34 years in Japan says that personally she did not have any trouble, but some members of the Army had encountered difficulties. Social work was' being carried on as usual. While visiting Japanese people settled in the Philippines recently, she was billeted at the home of the manager of one of the large Japanese commercial houses, and spoke highly of the hospitality extended to her; even to the extent of lending their car for her work. If the Army carries out its intention to start a corps in the Philippines, it is probable that Japanese 'officers from either North or South America will be chosen to take charge. She intends to return to Japan after the war.
