 I've did not include the Associ- ated Charities in the present report because our investigation of that organization, along with several others, is not yet complete. That there are certain organizations which are not included in this first report does not necessarily mean that anything has been found detri- mental to those organizations.

 Judge A. O. Lane: T have not read the report, but understand that it reveals conditions just as I thought they were. There is too much duplication of effort, too many organizations trying to do the same thing. What we need is more concentration and more relief to the needy"

American Government
Saved China millions
REFUSED TO PRESS INDIRECT
DAMAGE CLAIM OF LATE
REVOLUTION.

(Correspondeuce Of The Associated Press
PEKING, Sept. 10.-Delayed Mail
via Servia. )-The American govern
ment, through Minister Paul f. Re-
insch, with the support Of the lega-
tions of one or two other countries,
has saved China approximately nine
million dollars through its example
in eliminating all indirect claims
which certain nations, particularly
France. Russia and Japan have pre-
scented in consequence of the recent
Chinese revolution. China will now
persist in her refusal to pay such
claims.
When the anti Manchu revolt be-
gan. one Of the Chinese foreign min
listers. anxious to fOrestall and pre-
vent annoyance from the legation, as
sured the ministers that full COM
pensation would be paid for all dam
ages suffered by foreigners. When
the reckoning came and the claims
were presented, it was found that
indirect losses were included in al
most every account
The indirect losses were often such
charges as depression in the values Of
bonds. and loans made by the foreign
banks to private Chinese who de-
camped and others who failed in busi-
ness. Some statements even included
estimated profits on goods which
would have been sold TO Chinese buy
ers had the revolution not taken
place.
Some Of the legations presented the
claims as they received them, argu-
ing that It was not their business to
purge them. Others eliminated all
that seemed unfair. The British lega-
ton presented one Of the smallest
claims. The American claims were
also small. even less than the Brit
ish. but American trade with China
is not comparatively large.
The American minister realized that
the position which he took would
strengthen the hands Of the Chinese
and intimated this point to them. lie
also informed the other ministers at
a diplomatic meeting what he intended
doing. ThereupOn, other ministers Of
legation took the same attitude. MIR.
Reinsch informed the Chinese that
America would not press indirect
claims. but that If the Chinese paid
the indirect claims of any other ma
tion the United states would reserve
the right to insist on the payment Of
Indirect claims to American citizens
