Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol 1, No. 12 June 22, 1938

[introduction]

If the other Colleges can become as enthusiastic as Canterbury in the work of assisting Chinese students, a considerable fund should result from our united efforts. After a visit to the Trades Hall by the C.U.C. Chinese Student Relief Committee, it was decided that students would take part in a "colossal anti-reactionary demonstration" organized by the Canterbury District Trades Council.

In a former procession of the same kind, says a Press Bureau message, 40,000 persons took part. Just as many, if not more, are expected to support the demonstration now being arranged.

The details concerning the part to be played by students are being fixed by the Chinese Student Relief Committee. The disasters suffered by Universities in China will be featured.

As the student portion of the procession will necessarily be small, it must be well organized to be effective. The Committee intend to have banners carried, and slogans shouted in unison, as is done by Chinese students. They also obtain strong representation from both sexes; and in this respect, too, an authentic atmosphere should be built up.

A collection will be made, and half the proceeds will be applied to Chinese Student Relief, the other half going to the Spanish Medical Aid Committee.
