She said that while Japan had the coastal country, comparable to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, yet the Chinese people were increasing their unified efforts under their beloved General Chiang. She also stated that China has money enough on hand to buy all necessary army supplies, food, for a year yet without borrowing from any foreign country.

She urged that we pay more attention to the common things, rather than accentuate the differences. Miss Betty sang in Chinese the national song of the present unified youth of China, She answered many personal questions after the meeting (but womanlike refused to reveal her age), and autographed, as well as writing some of the names of the young people in Chinese.
