CHINA'S DIFFICULTY A recent visitor, who had been in China and had studied Chinese conditions says that the "awakening of China" is not generally understood in Canada, the rulers and leading men in China and possibly a million of their followers have felt the awakening of Which people speak. Beyond that the Chinese people go on in the same way, knowing little or nothing of the awakening or of the war with Japan. Possibly two or three million at the most have heard of the war, outside of those directly affected. This observer says the Chinese awakening has been very slow. It is not yet a national awakening but a sectional awakening. He likes the Chinese and hates to see them disturbed but he thinks we have been misled in regard to the situation over there. i While we are of opinion that the Chinese awakening is more widespread than he thinks, we all are aware that the Chinese are not by any means a united nation with a united public opinion. At the same time there must be many millions of Chinese people who take an intelligent interest in public affairs, who know that the war against Japan is going on and who are prepared to participate if need be. CENTRAL SETS THE PACE SITUATION IN SPAIN Jlrs.

Organized as fascists, thev set un a m Hi- ... - 4- tary dictatorship as autocratic arid even more dangerous to the common people than had existed before. Attempts were made to reduce the peasants to even lower levels. The labor movement was, however, growing stronger and manifested itself in February 1934 in an uprising of miners in the provinces of the -Asturias. This was choked off with a dram ma of repression, imprisonment and brutality but the people were still determined that the rule of the landed owners, bisr financiers and industrialislsmust be broken. They realized that, if Ihe forces of progress were to prevail, they must hot be divided and. finally in a general election in 1936, for-ward looking groups consisting of Leftist Republicans (left wing Liberals) under Azana, Socialists, Republicans and Communists, and comprising the Popular Front, elected 2G8 members while the parties of the riirht.

The next step to be taken will be on the part of the people who yell "hello" into the telephone mouthpiece. It is much better when answering a call to answer quietly "Mr. Jones," or "Mr. Jones speaking" or "Bill Jones speaking." If speaking for a firm such as our own, just answer "Daily News," or whatever the name of the firm may be. This may be done in a quiet voice that will not injure the ear drums of the young lady at Central. Wc all know how objectionable it is when a broadcaster shouts into the mike. So in telephoning, if we remember that we are conversing with a pleasant and polite young.lauy and modulate our voices accordingly, it will be wHKs a great advantage to all concerned. rm ysr AIR DISTHIHUTING CENTRE t The Vancouver Sun is protesting against Edmonton1 being the air-distributing centre for the Yukon. Airplanes destined from Eastern Canada to the Ytikoh now go by way of Edmonton and Whitehorse. This seems all right because it is the most direct route and Edmonton is also the centre for air traffic to the Mackenzie Basin and the Arctic. If Vancouver fails to become the air-distributing centre-in this case she might still ask for a charter to become the distributor of hot air to the whole province including the Yukon.
