New Zealand Radio Stations Observe The "Double Ten"
: Ts is a story which might save your life. It has no ending. You will make the ending". These are the words that begin the programme from all ZB stations at 7.15 p.m. on China’s National day (this Saturday, October 10). The spirit of China which has fought on and which will fight on, which will endure famine, disease, bombings and slaughter, is represented in four sketches, two by Pearl Buck and two by Charles Martin. Lynne Fontanne, Alfred Lunt, and John Garfield are the principal actors in incidents representative of the Chinese at war, Chinese children sheltering in a rock cave, a Chinese soldier in hospital, a Chinese curio shopkeeper whose son, a soldier in the U.S. Army, is killed at Pearl Harbour. In the final sketch, "China is Courage", the Chinese peasant woman is symbolic. "I can’t be shot. I will never die. I will know no peace but the peace of liberty. I AM China and I cannot die." The main National Stations will also be broadcasting a short tribute
to China on October 10, at 6.45 p.m., the chief item being a speech by the Chinese Consul-General.
