| Description: | WAR RELIEF FOR CHINA'S REFUGEES (aka CLOTHING FOR CHINESE REFUGEES) Glamorous Chinese-American women sort clothes for refugees of the Sino-Japanese war. New York City, New York, United States of America (USA). In a hall we see members of the Chinese Women's Association sorting through clothes for refugees of the Sino-Japanese war. The women are mostly very pretty and glamorous, in traditional Cheong-Sam dresses. The clothes are dropped into a pressure packing machine which squeezes large amounts of clothing into bales that are put on a truck for shipping to China. The women stand outside and wave to the truck as it drives off from the China War Relief building. | |
