Dr. P. Kwei Pictures
China in Wartime
Dr. Paul Kwei, Chinese univer
sitv professor on leave on ab'
sence, gave an inside picture of
wartime China in a speech yes
terday afternoon in the Union
faculty lounge. The talk was
sponsored by the university coun
cil on postwar reconstruction, of
which Dr. J. E. LeRossignoi is
chairman.
Dr. Kwei, who attended Yale,
Chicago University, Cornell and
received his PhD at Princeton,
told of China's problems of food.
fuel, transportation and education
He related how he and one other
teacher migrated their university
with 1,800 students from central
to southern China.
Japs Hit University.
"When the Japs invaded, they
felt that students were the back
bone of Chinese resistance," he
said. "The enemy destroyed the
Nang Chi University, although
there was no military objective
anywhere nearby."
Contrary to the present belief,
China's educational system has
not been completely halted. In
1937 there were 108 colleges and
universities and 42.000 students.
In June of 1943, there were 132
schools and 64,000 students.

have seen students wearing shoes

Kwei.
"We have had to count students
as engineers, chemists and avai

tried to preserve their educational
facilities," he continued. The Chi
nese system of draft of students
is similar to that of Canada. They
believe that students are more
valuable as leaders than as sol

Chinese Unprepared.
Dr. Kwei described the- meager
preparattions for war of the Chi
nese when the Japanese invaded

They had few guns, tanks and
other weapons. There were no
battleships, but admirals without
ships. But, he said, "The Chi
nese are not defeated or even on
their knees."
"No matter what else we need,"
concluded Dr. Kwei, "whether
food, medicine, or other supplies,
send us militai-y supplies. Send
us weapons to fight, so we don't
