NEW CONSTITUTION
FOR CHINA PROBABLE

PEKING, Dec. 26.-The Chinese re-
, public must have a new constitution,
a new election law and parliament
Wust be recognized, in the opinion
Of President Fong Kwo-chang, and
Premier Tuan Chi-jui.
An effort to achieve these objects is
in progress in the sessions of the new
National Council, called by the Presi-
dent and the Premier for that purpose
Most of China's governmental diff
culties during the last six years were
attributed by Premier Tuan in an adj
dress to the National Council to i'm
reflections in the constitution 1t is
the desire of the President and the
Premier that new constitution shall
be adopted and that it shall contain
provisions for satisfactory co-ordina-
ton of the executive, legislative and
judicial branhce of the government.
Both officials pointed out in addresses
" lhC OOuACil lndl II was Tue dDSeUC6
OF such provisions in the present con-
stitution that led to, the outbreak of
numerous revolts which have tran
spired in this country since the begin
ming of the attempt to organize a re-
public form OF government.
The President the Premier apparent
ly have divergent views as to whether
tie new constitution should be promul-
gated by the National Council or by
a new parliament to be summoned
after the work of the Council is finish
cd. President Fong told the Council
that he sincerely hoped that after it
had revised the Chinese election laws,
parliament would be called upon to
draft and promulgate the constitu-
ton; but Premier urged the Council
itself to amend the fundamental law
of the Chinese state.
unless We have a strong and sound
we never will be able
tc survive the shrugged of the nations,
declared the President. ITO form
nation and to establish it on a firm
basis is a colossal task. Six years
is too short to prove whether govern
ent by the people is suitable for
China. Therefore, I entertain great
expectations for the success of your
task

PEOPLE OF POLAND

Prince Sapieha Appeals to
American Red Cross in SWitz-

ZURNICH, Switzerland. November 2.
Prince Sapieha, president Of the gen.
eral Polish relief committee in War
can Red Cross officials in the hope of
securing immediate financial help for
starving Poland. This is In addition to
the food which the Red Cross. with the
assistance of the American State De-
partment, Is trying to send to the dying
children in the unfortunate state. He
brought statistics to show that the
mortality among the children and the
spread Of tuberculosis and other con-
tsgious diseases are such as to make
Immediate assistance imperative. be-
cause winter is at hand and the situa-
ton desperate. He said that If money
were now available they could save
thousands of children for whom the
food to be sent later on would como too
late.
Says Resources Are Exhausted.
1--WE have practically exhausted our
own resources" continued Prince
SdpleHd, anu only Iuo AIucTlCdhS Cdli
help US. For three years Poland has
been struggling. but has paid the bills
for three-fourths Of the charities. only
one-fourth Of the money coming from
the outside; but this winter 1t cannot
be done. We pray that the winter will
be a mild one. for that is our only hope.
Our cities are bankrupt and cannot
even support tho asylrms. Three days
before / left Warsaw the authorities
Of tho 212 asylums that we help to
support came to me and said that as
Warsaw was unable to contribute any
thing they must have $4,000 by De-
cember or they would have to close
the asylums. That means that $4,000
children will be put into the streets.
''One dollar per child per month can
save these children. Every dollar
given thus will be equivalent to the
gift of one child to the Polish nation.
Compare the huge costs Of destroying
humanity in this war with the little
it takes to save humanity. One Of the
most effective ways Of saving children
is to put them on farms. The peasants
are glad to accept them and find food
for them. At first the parents objected
and said. If me must starve let us
starve together Now they are will
ing to give up the children. They say.
We are willing to starve II we can
save our children

Notes Spread Of Tuberculosis.

I'VE need SO many things. With the
spread of tuberculosis we must keer
children affected with the disease out
Of the asylums, but we have no hos.
pitals for them and so the infection is
spreading. We must have asylums for
delinquents to prevent the corruption
of good children, but we have no
money. The sight Of our suffering little
ones would soften the hardest heart
Polands future depends upon saving
the children and 1t takes so little to
save them. Please help US II you can"
Red Cross officials here have cabled
the details to the American State De-
partment and hope to receive word tina,
action has been taken both for meet
ing immediate needs and for sending
food, clothing and medicine.
