DEPARTMENT 01" STATE

to Hsla Zoh-Taung

Dear Mrs . Roosevelt:

I have your letter or June 12, 1947 with ita enclosed correspondence f rom Kr. Hala Zoh-Taung or Singapore who wishes to come to the Uni ted States.

-

I t is not cl ear whether Mr. Bela has appli ed a t the America n Consulate General at Singapore for a visa to enter the United States. The Department is oo.munl­cating with that office and ie suggesting that if Mr. Haia haa not already taken up the question or obtain­ing a visa he be invi ted to call in order that hla caae may be discussed with him .

In view or the r esponaibillty placed upon oonaular officers for arriving at deolalons regarding the eligi­bil ity or aliens t o r eceive v1aaa, I believe r ou will agree that it would be dee1rable for the Coneulate General at Singapore to have the 1nforaat1on contained in Kr . Baia 1 e ooamunioation and I have, therefore, forwarded a oopr thereof to that office !or ita oont1dent1al information.

As to Kr. Hsia 'e reference to inau!!io1ent travel money, there is or course nothing the Department or the Consulate General can do to aesist him in this reepeot.

Faithfully yours,

Enolosuree : 1. From Kr. Hai a,

Karch 20 and June 4,~. 1~7.

2 . To Kr .ttaia, April 1, 1947.

I am preparing a book on the work and life of our womenfolk during the war time in China and oversea occupied regioM, in the 0011-pilation of which assistance in the writing of parts coverina episode s and matters of interest in all the areas h'ee and occupied is bein& give n me by many o! our distinguished countrywomen, I hope to be able to publish t hia book sometim~ next spring, providing I can o! course get all the material together in time .

I am also preparing a pictorial book on the Eight years o! War in China , This book gives a full story of China' s effort on the preservation of World's Peace despite shortage o! munitions and lack of preparation !or a lopg and strenuous wa~ agains t the destructive f actors of the Axis Powers ,

The book will be divided into f our sectional 1 - Fighting Front with short Hist ory of the B Years of War, 2 - Madam 's (Ghiang Kai- Shek ) war work. 3 - Underground and Guerillas work in the r ear. 4 - China' s rehabilitation work.

(All materials and pictUres with permission of the parties concerned)

It would indeed be a great favour if you could get some well known publisher to be int erested in this "Qpe of l i t erature, A proportion of the proceeds trom sales, should it be suooesstul, to tunds designed tor popular education of the illiterate mass in Oh~.
