Wang Jingwei boldly threw away his high position as deputy chairman of the the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party) to move to Hanoi to achieve peace and save his homeland. He made his first public declaration at the end of last year and has, since that day, continued to make his unwavering convictions known. Despite the loss of his precious comrade Zeng Zhongming, Wang's convictions are even now spreading like wildfire among the Chinese people and their brothers overseas and threatening Chiang Kaishek. And now the Central China Daily News, his official newspaper based in Shanghai, has resisting persecution and resumed publication from the 10th.\r\n\r\nIt's said that Sun Ke carried on Sun Yat-sen's blood and Wang Jingwei carried on his thoughts. Wang Jingwei can be called Sun Yat-sen's true successor. It can be seen how dear Wang was to Sun Yat-sen by the fact that when Sun was on his deathbed he called for only three people: his wife Song Qingling, his son Sun Ke, and Wang Jingwei. He has influence in and the trust of Chinese political circles and the Chinese people and is incorruptable, living an upstanding, moral life. Despite the personal danger, he is making public what the Chinese people desire.\r\n\r\nBorn into a renown Guangdong family in 1885, he had a complicated early life as a revolutionary. Despite a long history of fighting with Chiang Kaishek, the two have joined together many times, though destiny has split them apart during the current incident. With the resumption of the Central China Daily News, Wang is tenaciously voicing his fervent convictions in the racial mission of Sino-Japanese unity for the Chinese people and peace in East Asia. Together with the South China Daily News in Hong Kong, he has gained two powerful official papers. His future efforts to save his country will be worth keeping an eye on.

Seven articles by Jack Carberry in the Denver Post attacked WRA's administration of the project. Appealing to the emotions of readers recently aroused by the Tokyo executions, these articles were notable for half truths, omissions, and misinterpretation of the facts. Most serious charges concerned mess operations. WRA was accused of hoarding canned goods prior to rationing, of being wasteful and extravagant in ordering and using food supplies, and it was implied by omission that center residents are not under food rationing restrictions. Further allegations concerned consumption of bootleg liquor by evacuees and their refusal to accept lucrative outside job offers because life within the center is \"soft.\" The Denver Post series was picked up by AP and INS, whose dispatches were printed by relatively few papers. One AP dispatch included a refutation by WRA officials of some of the accusations.","extent":"2371W x 3140H (pixels)","links_children":"ddr-densho-156-328","topics":[{"term":"World War II -- Concentration camps -- Facilities, services, and camp administration","id":"69"}],"format":"doc","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"misc_document","creation":"May 5, 1943","status":"completed","search_hidden":"","download_large":"ddr-densho-156-328-mezzanine-f16fadeca6-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-sjacl-2-36","model":"entity","index":"15 1815/{'value': 2126, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-sjacl-2-36/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-sjacl-2-36/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-sjacl-2/ddr-sjacl-2-36-1-mezzanine-3b27ff8a05-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-sjacl-2/ddr-sjacl-2-36-1-mezzanine-3b27ff8a05-a.jpg"},"title":"In Memory of Elaine Akagi Interview","description":"In this session, Elaine Kim led a panel of Elaine Reiko Akagi's friends (Ann Fujii Lindwall, Arlene Oki, Karen Yoshitomi, and Bill Tashima) in a remembrance conversation on Akagi.
