LACK OF ALLIED AID

In the Pacific CHINESE PROTEST. NEW YORK. March 23. Yli Churchill’s reiteration of the “Beat Hitler First” policy has drawn n, rebute from Madame Chiang KaiShek. She revised the text of a N each she baa prepared after J stening to the British Prime Minister's world broadcast. Mr Cnurchill’s statement that the full we gilt of the Allies would not be thrown against the Japanese until the Germans were beaten, and that partial demobilisation would follow Hitler's defeat, is reported to have caused Madame Chiang KaiShek to interpolate into her speech, delivered at the Chicago Stadium; “It is an easier thing to court approbation of one’s countrymen; ■ it is a harder thing to speak according to the dictates of conscience. This is especially so when one’s conscience tells one that to prevent future destruction and carnage one must think not only, in terms of the good of one’s country, but in terms of the good of other peoples.” The “New York Herald-Tribune” correspondent comments: This lastminute addition to Madame KaiShek’s address drew tumultuous applause from her mid-West audience, who take a less academic view of (.lie war against the Japanese than the people in the. Eastern States.”
