FUNDS FOR CHINA'S WAR
Seventeen-year-old Jan Pihcheng and his bride of four months began the fifth day of a hunger strike at Shanghai recently. They hoped to force his wealthy parents to contribute 4,000,000 Chinese dollars to help the Chinese cause against Japan. The father, a Canton merchant. Chinese newspapers said, agreed to contribute 1,000,000 Chinese dollars, but the offer was rejected. The couple declared that unless he gave 4,000,000 Chinese dollars they would starve to death, leaving the father without a son to carry on the family line.
