W. H. Donald Captured By The Japanese

Mr. W. H. Donald, formerly personal adviser to General Chiang Kai-shek, was captured by the Japanese in the Philip pines when the Pacific war broke out, while he was en route from the South Pacific to China. Mr. Donald was last heard of in Fiji and other Pacific Terri

tories in 1941, and there had been some uncertainty as to what had happened to him.

This photograph was taken in January, 1941, when Mr. Donald (second from right) was entertained by the Chinese community of Suva.

The timber boom which developed in 1937-39 will be nothing to what will fol low the war.
