Description:

This is a film about America's ally, China. It opens with a picture of the Statue of Liberty. The off-screen narrator discusses how Americans are doing a good job outmatching the German enemy through industry and the arms race. The narrator says that the United States has forgotten about its ally, China, and how China has been holding out against the Japanese for five years and that the U.S. should help China. Newspaper and magazine articles illustrate the devastation caused by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The film shows how China has been modernizing and becoming more democratic. Children are able to go to school and the industry is booming. A map illustrates that if the Japanese defeat China, they may advance further than they have ever gone, even reaching Australia, Europe, California and Canada. Posters exhort Americans to help the Chinese. China still has resources to fight, such as soldiers and materials to rebuild and make arms for the war effort. <21mn 35s>
