Morale Builder

LIU LIANG-MO
MUSIC CALLED CHINA'S WEAPON
Liu Liang-mo Will Open Relief Drive Here In Talk Tomorrow.

Music is China's greatest weapon against Japanese forces.
This was expressed today by Liu Liang-mo, former morale builder with Chiang Kai-Shek's guerilla armies, who is in Toledo to open a United China Relief campaign with a speech at an open meeting in the Doermann Theater of the University of Toledo at 4 p. m. tomorrow.
Singing Army
The Chinese army is a singing army, Mr. Liu explained, and a singing army never is defeated. Chinese soldiers have something to sing about, he pointed out. The war songs express the spirit of a new China, unity and defense of Chinese homes. On the other hand, he asked, what do the Japanese have to sing about? "Murder is no subject for song," he asserted.
Singing is nothing new in China, Mr. Liu explained, but vocal expression in the past always had been solo work. Choral and group singing was virtually unknown up to 10 years ago.
Mr. Liu once read in an American song book that singing is a means toward unity. With this in mind he began a campaign in 1934 to teach group singing to Chinese.
In 1938, he was drafted by Chiang Kai-shek to teach singing to the armies as a morale builder.
Songs Spreading
Mr. Liu visited Army camps and found soldiers reluctant to join in song. After some coaxing and a bit of priming by songsters placed amongst the ranks the men took up the songs and the rest was easy, Mr. Liu declared.
Now are found not only the soldier, but the Chinese population in general lending their voices to song, he said. It is China's moral that will defeat the Japanese, he insisted.
