Will Lynch, still a captive of the Japanese in Shanghai, says the Navy "had better get busy--or else". Apparently the Foreign YMCA is still open in Shanghai. Roselyn
February 28, 1942. Saturday. 83rd Day .
Fine weather.
No definite news yet. Local radio and papers continue to publicize Japanese successes, but apparently meeting resistances in Java. It's about time the U.S. Navy was getting busy and cutting out the talk. The Navy has a job to do--or else.
Also, the "New Deal" and our pacifists had best go into limbo--or some other place.
March 1, 1942. Sunday. 84th Day.
Wet, but not cold.
Had a pass. Went to Foreign YMCA and got a book, "The People's Choice", re presidents of U.S.A.--Washington to Harding.
Lost 2-1 to Brookhart but won 2-0 from J.B.S. at rummy.
E.B. called but A.M. didn't, which is o.k.
Seems there is a big Navy battle on around Java. Radio said Japanese are winning, per Jap's claim.
Got bank statement showing my balance at National China Bank as Ch. $0.00. It's correct, except I have a U.S. $7.34 balance.
