Patriotism Lesson From Chinese Factory Workers
An American, Mr. H. Day, runs an airplane factory in interior China before Pearl Harbor. Facing a slow Chungking approval process for overtime pay, he paid workers personally during an emergency. The Chinese foreman returned the money, but workers refused the overtime pay, saying if a foreigner would fund extra work, Chinese workers should perform it for their country.
