THE LESSON
OF PLASMA
In a pamphlet written
by that remarkable worn-:
an, Madame Chiang Kai
shek, she relates how she;
turned to her mother, in i
the days when Japan began i
to show her hand in Man- j
churia, and cried out with
deep feeling, “Mother, you
are so powerful in prayer.
Why don’t you pray that
God will annihilate Japan
by an earthquake, or some
thing?” Her mother turn
ed her face away for a
time. Then looking gravely
at her daughter she said, I
“When you pray, or expect1
me to pray, don’t insult
God’s intelligence by ask
ing him to do something
which would be unworthy
even of you, a mortal.”
There is only one human
race. This is what blood
plasma is driving home to
us. The war has made
people depositors in blood
banks which have reduced
the rate of mortality from
wounds and disease on all
the fighting fronts of the
world. That blood may be
drawn from the veins of a
factory worker, a house
wife, a student, a clerk, or
a mother with sons over
seas. We might follow it,
I
in imaginaton.
Here is a wounded Chin
ese. That blood going into
his veins may have come
from Fifth Ave., New j
York, or the Gold Coast of
Chicago. Here is a bullet
riddled German prisoner of *
war, whose only chance to
live, after an operation in j
an American field hospital,1
lies in a transfusion. The j
blood which saves his life, j
for all one knows, may'
have been taken from the!
veins of a Jewish war j
mother. Here is a lad;
bleeding from a shell
wound, brought into a,
front line dressing station.
The blood which saves him j
i
may have come from a!
Slav or an Italian, loyal to i
the America of his adop
tion.
There is but one human
race. In that family alb
men are brothers. There'
are times when they act as'
if this were not the case, j
Like Cain, they may spill
their brother Abel's blood
upon the ground, and in
surly tones, when called,
to account, ask, “Am l myj
brother’s keeper?” The j
answer is, “Yes.” But even i
more than being our bro-j
ther’s keeper, we are our;
brother’s brother. — An
chorage Times).

EDITORIAL IS
CHALLENGED
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 29 —
(AP)—The Oregonian, a republi
can paper, charged today in an
editorial, that the democratic na
tional committee refused to re
broadcast President Roosevelt
speech last Saturday for fear of
losing the soldiers’ vote.
It also asserted the irony and
levity which permeated the ad
dress, would have the same un
seemliness to those suffering tor
tures of war and to those at home
who are apprehensively e waiting
possible arrival of- dreadea news
about loved ones on the battle
fronts.
ALLEGATION
IS DENIED
NEW YORK Sept. 29.—rAP)—
The National Democratic Com
mittee, through a statement of
Paul Porter, publicity director,
denied the Oregonian editorial,
and charged that it was utterly
without foundation and untrue.
He said that President Roose
velt has already used up the short
wave time alloted to him by the
army for September.
October will be given over to
World Senes broadcasts.
JAPS CLAIM
ADVANCES
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—<AP>
— Imperial Japanese headquarters
today announced that Jap forces
were f advancing on Kweilin, the
capital of Kwagsi Province, and
have occupied Paoching and Tan
chuk, sites of the American air
bases.
There is no immediate con
firmation of the Jap claim con
tained in a communique broad
cast, from Tokyo.
The Chinese high command an
nounced that the Jap column had
reached a point only 35 miles
from Weilin and that the Jap col
umns were converging on Tan
chuk and were only 20 miles
apart
