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.

Work of N.Z.U.S.A.

At Thursday night's meeting of the N.Z.U.S.A. a scheme for organizing further measures to augment the funds for assisting Chinese students was explained. It was drawn up by Mr. S. S. Amies, of C.U.C. which College strongly supports it and has already carried much of it into effect.

The V.U.C. delegates were generally I agreement with the scheme but could not comply with the every item suggested; comments from the other Colleges were not to hand.

The sub-committee at C.U.C. has printed 10,000 pamphlets. 5000 stickers for envelopes, and a number of duplicated subscription lists. They have also made arrangements for an art union to be held. The cost of all these preparations has already been obtained by donations, sales of pamphlets, etc.

A film illustrating conditions in China will be shown at Victoria College if it is possible to hire the one at present being used at Canterbury. The pamphlets, stickers and the art union will also be used here.

The executive appointed Messrs Amies, J. O. Stace, and Miss Molly Mullan. With power to co-opt, to run the scheme, with headquarters at Christchurch, on behalf of the N.Z. U.S.A.

An appeal is made to all students to assist in making the scheme a success and the efforts of the sub-committee worth while.
