French Praise for China

Pari yl The heroic resistance of the Chinese people in their struggle against Japan, was highly praised here today by M. Henri Raynaud, Secretary General of the Paris Trade Unign: in his speech before some 6 people gathered in a May Day demonstration on the huge Reuilly lawn in the Bois de Vincennes, just outside Paris, despite the rain and cold weather, the May Day manifestations organized by the Paris Trade Unions were successful though hot attracting as many people as during the last three years.
