CHINA FRIENDSHIP 1
DAY—OCTOBER i
10, 1945
China's Independence Day—her,
Fourth of July—is October 10th. j
This great national holiday com- i
memorates the dedication of the
Chinese nation to the ideals of a
free and democratic China envis
aged by China’s immortal leader,
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen.
Throughout the United States,
its territories and possessions,
his day will be celebrated as
“China Friendship Day,”—a day
when Americans everywhere join
in a neighborly tribute to their
friends, the heroic people of Chi
na.
This 54th anniversary of the
Republic finds China joyful in
peace at last, standing at the pin
nacle of her four thousand years
of civilized history, free to take
her rightful place in the world as
a modern, democratic state.
But three months ago, the peo
ple of Japan, still fighting gallant
ly for national survival though
worn and weighted with the rav
ages of war almost to the limits
of endurance, marked another, a
bitter and sorrowful anniversary,
recalling the date of July 7, 1937,
when the storm of Japanese ag
gression broke over China in full
fury—a grim reminder that China
has been the nation longest at war
of all in the world.
For eight dark years of unre
lieved struggle and despair, the
people of China, with indomitable
will, and almost with their bare
I hands, fought a war of resistance
| that amazed the world. Knowing
! nothing of modern warfare and
modern machines, lacking food,
clothing and ammunition, they
determined to fight on with flesh
and blood, and by their death to
slow down the advance of a fully
armed enemy, to trade space for
time until the Allies would range
themselves at their side.
The war destroyed China’s in
dustry, its railways and foreign
trade, drove the students from its
universities, and made refugees of
fifty millions of her people—more
than one-third as many people as 1
there are in the whole United
States. And besides the scourges
of war, there were the old disas- j
ters—flood, famine and drought. J
China survived because of the
magnificent moral and spiritual
strength of her people—because of
their consecration to ideals of
freedom which are deep and eter
nal.
Today the Chinese nation faces I
an normous task, not only to re-!
build what has been destroyed,
but to carry forward the trans
formation of a whole way of life,
the establishments of a democrat
ic China, which was disrupted by
the war.
I am sure that the people of
Alaska join with free people ev
erywhere in their desire to help
China bind her wounds, to restore
faith, to establish democracy, and
to bring new hope to the world. I
hope that all Alaskans will take
part whole-heartedly in the plans
and programs prepared for the
observance of China Friendship
Day in the Territory.
ERNEST GRUENING,
Governor of Alaska. j
Early attempts of Europeans to
settle on the Solomon Islands

Atomic Bomb
Secret Must Be
Made Public
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8— —
Dr. Irving Langmuir, General
Electric research laboratories, tes
tified “there is no possibility of
permanently keeping the secret of
the atomic bomb.”
"Only a few years” is the most
than we can keep it from other
countries, Langmuir said in joint
hearing of the Senate Commerce
and Military committees for a
proposal to grant broad federal
aid to scientific research.
Groundhog Day(s)
BIG SPRINGS, Md.—(jP)—What
may be a new record in ground
hog extermination was establish
ed here by Walter W. Suffcool,
who bagged 100 of the animals in
one season and on one form, blast
ing away with a .22 rifle at dis
tances of 40 to 200 yards.
DELIVERS THE MAIL
BEAR MOUNTAIN, N. Y.—i/p)
—The Brooklyn Dodgers would
like to see Elmer 'Red> Durrett, a
Guadalcanal Marine veteran, de
liver the mail just as he did last
winter in Dalas, Tex., where Red
carried letters on an eight-mile
route.
A flea will jump higher than
any other animal in the world for
its size, according to Encyclopae
dia Britannica. A comparable
jump for a man in relation to size
would easily be as high as the
greatest New York skyscraper.
