This bulletin featured Hu Shih’s “Mankind Must Resolve to Make This the Last War” where he urged the war to end and hoped for peace and freedom. Hu wrote “It is the same political backwardness that has permitted the present unprecedented catastrophe to befall entire humanity. We are in the midst of the greatest war in the human history. And we are confident that the great forces for peace and freedom will eventually win.”
Program in June 1943 highlighted part of Chiang Kai-shek’s speech about China’s war aims: “Among our friends there had been recently some talks of China emerging as the leader of Asia, as if China wished the mantle of an unworthy Japan to fall on her shoulders.
