Former Director of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai, and more recently connected with the Chinese Embassies in Moscow and Berlin. Now in United States on his way back to Chungking 

"The best way to help China is to send bombers to China by way of Tokyo," Dr. Yui Ming, former Director of Foreign Affairs at Shanghai and more recently connected with the Chinese embassies at Moscow and London, told the Advertising Club of Boston today.

Dr. Yui, with Miss Lee Ya Ching, China's first woman airplane pilot, was guest of honor at the luncheon sponsored by the Women's Committee of the club at the Statler Hotel in connection with United China Relief's campaign to raise $7,000,000.

"China is doing two things of major importance for the United Nations in the Far East," said Dr. Yui. "She is immobilizing a large Japanese army so that it can't do mischief elsewhere, and she is now transferring Chinese troops into Burma in order to resist the Japanese advance. The more arms that can be gotten to China the more effective this resistance will be."

The Chinese, he said, are holding and disseminating large Japanese forces and look on the war plans of the United Nations with great optimism.

"China can be the haven for thousands of air fields," he said, "and the jumping off place for the knock-out blow to the Japanese."

Realistic View
Dr. Yui said he believed the people of the United States had taken such a "realistic" view of the war that they failed to take into account the imagination, initiative, strength and organizing power of their own country and of the United Nations. Some, he said, talk as though all of these qualities were on the other side of the fence. On the contrary, Dr. Yui declared, the great power is on the side of the United States.

"We have gone through the darkest hours of the war - we of China, Russia, and Britain," he said, "and proved ourselves able to take the blows and fit to survive. With the great resources and organizing ability of America now added, we are very optimistic."

Dr. Yui was Director of Foreign Affairs at Shanghai from 1932 to 1937, serving China in that capacity during the first and hardest years of her long struggle against Japan. Then he went to Moscow, where he was in the Chinese Embassy during 1938 and 1939, and from there to London in 1940-41. He was on his way back to Chungking when Japan attacked Hawaii and is now waiting until it is possible to continue his journey home to serve his Government there. He is spending his time at present in Boston.

Foresaw Campaign
Asked why Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek went to India, Dr. Yui said it was evident that he foresaw the Japanese campaign into Burma and India and desired to build up better communications and a better supply route through India - a purpose which he achieved. He also succeeded, to a certain extent, in building in India another arsenal for democracy, Dr. Yui believes, as the Indian leaders agreed to resist aggression and, he is confident, will throw their influence on the side of the United Nations.

"The Indian leaders are men of high integrity and have the interest not only of India but of the United Nations at heart," said Dr. Yui. "I know Nehru and was with him in Paris in 1939. At that time he refused an invitation to come to Germany and talk with Hitler. He told me the reasons for his refusal to accept that invitation."

It is too early to predict just what form India's resistance to the Axis will take, Dr. Yui said, but he affirmed his belief that Gen. Chiang Kai-shek would stand out in history as the man who started the ball rolling in the direction of the country's active co-operation with the United Nations. 

Marguerite S. Wettlin is chairman of the Women's Committee of the Advertising Club which sponsored today's luncheon and Jeanne M. Ambuter was in charge of arrangements. Miss Lee also was presented as a speaker.

An interview with Miss Lee Ya Ching, Chinese aviatrix, appears on the Today's Woman page in this issue. 

Efforts to Salvage Freighter Planned 
Efforts to salvage the American freighter that sank in 50 feet of water near the easterly entrance to the Cape Cod Canal after collision with another American freighter Sunday night, are expected to be made shortly.
The vessel is reported resting on an even keel, with a $1,000,000 cargo in the holds.  The other vessel involved, put into an Atlantic coast port for survey and repairs of considerable damage about the bow.
