To the Editor of the *Nosmi-Ciwa Dany' News"
Sm—The call to do charity and relief of innocent' war vietims—apparently Chinese " offly—is being. Sounded far and wide, and more than generously answered, I wholeheartedly approve of Chie ese and Japanese being helped, but Tand a lot of others would like to know who is going to help and make 800d the losses of innocent foreign Victims. 'Those who are appealing wye for foreign help, are no doubt doing 0 under, the impression "Charity and Help' begins for those at Hom therefore, wouldn't it be very to distribute foreign ald amongst all sufferers, irrespective whether they. be Chinese, Japanese, or Foreigners?
say this because of the covered up anti-foreign feeling amongst a cer tain class of Chinese and Japanese who may easily and quickly spread such a destructive idea. What 18 one man's gift is another man's" poison, and will always remain so as long as the Life Brain Cell cannot be educated.
This Sino-Japanese war has caused certain Chinese provision stores to charge two prices for foodstuffs, one for the foreigner, the other for the Chinese customer. Understanding Chinese 1 have often heard a certain lass of Chinese encourage such unfair treatment, But I have also heard many a" Chinese Lady and Gentleman make these store-keepers feel very much ashamed by demand= ing that the foreign customer pay the same price they have paid. In market places hawkers with antiforeign feelings also have two prices, but also here some common-sonsed Chinese will voice a protest and demand fairness.
The purpose of this letter is not 10 jereate a bad feeling, but to ask those {influential persons appealing for for-ign aid to redouble their efforts to completely stamp out all anti-foreign feeling; It Is belter for both sides.
The lives of those spiritually great fand the charitable are ever hard because they always endeavour to forgive ignorance and relieve suifering, therefore, 1 hope. that the wings of Universal Love and Goodwill will never molt a feather, until the in-{elligent Yellow and White barques sail down the river of life together, Home papers please copy.
