May Go to Help China

From Our Own Correspondent

Tahiti, Dec. 5.

IHAVE the idea that a lot of our younger Chinese will go to China after the war, to help rebuild that vast Empire.

The Chinese schools at Papeete now are teaching the Mandarin dialect — which has been designated as the official language by the Chunking Government.

Our younger Chinese are an intelligent lot, schooled in progressive ideas, and have been brought up In a cosmopolitan environment. They are of a type that could be of great service to their ances tral country during the period of recon struction.
