To the Editor of the '"Nowm-Cuiwa Dany News"
Smy~Please find enclosed a delayed contribution for the Lester Chinese Hospital. Hearing that the directors of this hospital are contemplating reductions in the foreign staff and the general service of the hospital T hasten to send in my cheque. Are there not others among your readers who may have neglected their appre ciation of this institution ina con crete way? It is not surprising the m: nagement of the Lester Hospital finding it difficult to meet rising costs when the services rendered the needy public Is on a charity or minimum cost. basis, T do not believe that the people of Shanghai want to see the eficiency of the institution so curtailed that it will not be able to give the kind of service it has been giving, Will the directors not make another appeal fo the Shanghai public to increase their support before drastiea feniting off departments or reduc the experienced staff?
A Furxo o it LO.

An Unpalatable Truth the Editor of the "NowiCuina Dany News"
Sm—An event unprecedented in the history of Germany since the advent of the Nazi regime to have occurred Imost um German newsmpers have actually ULLshea the truth Tu today's North China it ts reported that "German newspapers Unite in declaring that the end of the Graf Spee was... in conformity with the traditions Navy."
That they should admit such an unpalatable truth is, to say the least, surprising. Can it be that the Editors had been celebrating, not wisely but too well, the "vielory" of the Graf Spee?
