Chnese Student Declares lap Attack
Follows RecklessPatr Of HItle r
U
Japan's reckless attack on the
United States follows the pattern of
the reckless gambles, characteristic
of Adolf Hitler, Joachim Lay, '44E, a
Chinese resident of Belgium for the
last seven years, declared in an in-
terview yesterday.
Here in this country to continue his
engineering studies under lore de-
sirable circumstances, Lay had been
attending the University of Liege in
Belgium. H fe left that ;country in
June, having witnessed its invasion
and occupation by German troops.
Lay compared the suddenness of
the Japanese attack to the Nazi as-
sault on Belgium. Americans, he
said, exhibited greater calmness on
theh outbreak of war than did the
Europeans. However, the feelings of
the Europeans were understandable as
the shortness of distance brought
them right into the war zone.
Referring to the food situation in
occupied Europe, Lay expressed the
opinion that Belgium and Greece were
faring the worst of all the nations.
While in Belgium, he was continually
hungry and lost a great deal of
weight. 'Milk was only allowed to
babies, and there were hardly enough
meats and potatoes. Potato peels were
even consumed. Restaurants often
were unable to serve meals, and Lay
was forced to eat at the Red Cross.
He considers himself lucky to be in
President Ruthven
Congratulates IFC
Gratitude and appreciation of the
University for the conduction of the
Interfraternity Council children's
Christmas party was expressed in the
following letter from President Ruth-
vin to Don Stevenson, '42, president
of the IFC.
President Ruthven said:
"It is only fair to those who gave
so generously of their time and effort
in behalf of the children's Christmas
party to say that the University ap-
preciates and recognizes the value of
such undertakings. This group has
done a service to all of us in giving
practical expression to the impulses
which we cannot readily carry into
action as individuals."
a country. again where he can eat
enough to satisfy his appetite.
Lay recalled with bitter memories
the German invasion of Belgium and
his flight from that country. The
Nazis struck with surprising fury at
4 a.m. Friday, May 10. They disabled
the main fort, betireen Antwerp and
Liege, of the Albert Canal Defense
Line in the early hours of the attack.
Sand was poured on the gun tur-
rets to prevent their turning and to
pave the way for a parachutist as-
sault, Lay explained. Already at 2
a.m. Sunday cannon fire was heard
in Liege. If the defense system had
been working successfully this could
not have happened, he emphasized.
Naturally, the people of the city
became panic-striken. In addition to
the demoralizing effect of the in-

With the spread of the rumor that
the Germans were encircling the city,
great numbers of the population be-
ban an evacuation.
,Lay was fortunate enough to ob-
tan passage on a train heading for
the French border;. German air
bombardments had already broken
many. railroad junctions, however
and the train was -forced to halt in
the open country.
The harried refugees spread over
the roads and fields in all directions
A'fter wandering a few hours, Lay
joined a group of soldiers who were
withdrawing to the second line of the
Belgian defenses. They told him of
the terror* of the Stuka raids and the
demoralizing lack of Allied planes.
Disrupted communications had left
the troops wandering in the dark
without specific instr'uctions. ,Sight-
ing a motorized column of troops
whose uniforms were indistinguish-
able because of mud stains, Lay and
the Belgians thought that they had
come upon a British detachments
Their hopes were dashed to the
ground with stark reality when they
were surrounded and put under ar-
rest by armed Nazis!

captors.\ From there he crossed
through Germany, Switzerland
