FIRST & ONLY RARE EDITION This journal was issued 4 times a year. A note on the first page of volume 1, no. 1 by the editor On Pi-tek states that the ILHA Formosa a bi-monthly newspaper is 'discontinued.' We wonder the fate of this journal, as it too seems to be a frail work, by a few Formosans living in America. * On the last page of volume 1, no. 2 is: "AN APPEAL TO OUR READERS." It begins with: " If you agree with us and believe that what we are doing is for a just cause, please help us financially as generously as you can." we are hindered, however, by vicious pressure from the Nationalist Embassy in Washington and its Consulates all over the country which enjoy diplomatic privilege. We are also confronted by formidable opposition from the Nationalist propaganda machine, well financed by the China lobby." * A heroic effort by those Taiwanese who had to flee from Formosa to American due to local suppression to a place where their voice could be heard.nothing changed since then, but now we know what they said to be so very true ! * An amazing effort to tell America the truth. * Contents: ==January 1963, volume 1, #1: -THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE FUTURE OF FORMOSA by Urban --Whitaker Jr. -CHINA DISCLAIMED FORMOSA by I-te Chen. -QUEMOY AND MATSU: A REMINDER TO MR.
