Chinese Joan. With Chinese everywhere feverishly excited by their Premier's new boldness, there arrived in Manhattan last week to collect funds attractive Miss Loh Tsei, who is known by the cash-compelling sobriquet "The Joan of Arc of China." In December of last year, Chinese students outside Peiping were trying to unite with Chinese students inside Peiping for a demonstration against Japan. In those days the policy of Premier Chiang was not yet strong and his police had locked the City's gates to keep the two groups of Chinese students apart. In this emergency, Miss Loh wriggled her small body under one of the gates and into Peiping, intending to open the gate from the inside if she could escape police notice. Instead, as Miss Loh related in Manhattan last week: "The policemen became very mad. They rushed to me like crazy and beated me. They beated me very violently with the handles of their guns. A hundred and more other students also were attacked most brutly. They mainly hurt my head and it became very swollen."
When Miss Loh got out of the hospital, the All China Students Union elected her to one of the five seats on its directorate, hailed her as "The Joan of Arc of China" and sent her to the recent World Youth Congress in Geneva. There, warned by typical Geneva pussyfooters that she must not attack Japan, she delivered a flaming speech in denunciation of a country which she left unnamed.
