Parade by Chinese
Marks Three Years
Of War on Japan
Customary Coiorful
Trappings Replaced
By Signs Urging Aid
Minus the papier-mache dragons
and cymbals that usually accompany
a Chinese parade, more than 400
Chinese residents of the District
marched soberly through downtown
streets yesterday in commemoration
of three years of resistance by China
against Japanese aggression.
Signs calling for an embargo by
the United States cn shipments of
war materials to Japan replaced the
customary colorful trappings. Other
placards in the four-block-long pro
cession urged a boycott of Japanese
silk in favor of nylon, while still
others pointed out that this country ;
“supplies 56 per cent of Japan’s!
sinews of war,” and asked for volun
teers to "join the Washington Com
mittee For Aid to China.”
The only sign of gayety was cen
tered in H street between Sixth and
Seventh streets N.W., where most
of the District’s Chinese colony live.
Here American and Chinese flags
fluttered from windows of business
houses and private homes and a
Chinese Boy Scout Band gave an
Impromptu concert before the pa
rade started.
20 Automobiles in Line.
Led by two motorcycle policemen,!
the line of march, including about
20 automobiles, wound down Ninth
street from its starting point at
Seventh and H streets N.W. to E
street, then west on E street to Thir
teenth street, north on Thirteenth
to K street and east to the Pythian i
Temple at Ninth and K streets N.W.,!
where the group heard an address by
Liu Chieh, counselor of the Chi
nese Embassy.
Before the counselor spoke, how
ever. a telegram from Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-shek was read, in which
the generalissimo described the de
termination of the Chinese people to
fight against the aggressor “until the
justice and freedom which are bases
for a permanent world peace” are
Won.
lens oi Determination.
The counselor also spoke of
China's determination to achieve'
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness which is the corner stone of
American democracy today.
“We are fighting,” he asserted,
“not only for our national existence
but for the peace and freedom of all
humanity.”
Others who spoke were Henry H.
Douglas, a member of the American
Committee for Non-Participation in
Japanese Aggression, who praised i
the Chinese people for their con- '
tinned resistance to Japan, and Lt.1
Chiang Wego, son of Gen. Chiang, I
