DESCRIBES 45,COO.OOO
IMPOVERISHED IN CHINA
Newly Appointed United States
Minister Appeals in Behalf of
Stricken People.

A graphic word picture of condi-
tons in famineridden China. where
43,000.000 men, women and children
are in d state bordering on starvation.
was drawn yesterday by DIR. :. Alfred
SEE, newly appointed minister from
China to the United States, in a state
ment F~pared for the China famine
fund.
Minister SEE. who arrived in Wash
ington about a fortnight ago to take
up his new duties, said one of the
largest wheat-producing districts in
China is being ravaged by the famine.
1t was from this district. he said,
that the largest amount of flour ex-
ported from China to relieve the food
shortage in Europe during the latter
years of the war was sent to aid the
allies.
THE intensity of the famine" said
DIR. Sze, may be judged from the
fact that in some regions not a Single
drop of rain fell between the autumn
of 1919 and the fall of 1920. Conse-
auently very fertile land was turned
into desert. But the seriousness of
the calamity cannot adequately be
Srasped unless we realize that 15.-
100000 human beings are threatened
with death from starvation in one
district alone.
The picture Of the famine-stricken
area is as pathetic as it is appalling.
Honest, simple folks commit suicide
on wholesale scale rather than re-
sort to plunder.''
AS an example of the Chinese
memory about such things, DR.. Sze
pointed out the fact that Sir Johr
Jordan, recently British minister tC
Peking. related that during IA visit
last year TO the famine districts ot
1878 and 1879 he found that the
Chinese still remembered the gener.
osity of the British people in sending
relief at that time.

by DR.. Paul 5. Reinsch. reports tina,

PENNSYlV VANIA ALUMNI
OPPOSE STATE CONTROL
University Graduates Defeat Plan
for $4,000. 900 Public
Endowment.

NEW YORK. March "a resolution
opposing state control of the Uni
versity or Pennsylvania was adopted
today at the national convention of
the alumni after prolonged debate.
George W. Wickersham. former
United States Attorney General. in
troduced he resolution and spoke for
it. The opposition was led by DR..
Theodore Grayson. director of the
Wharton Evening School
The resolution said the proper and
only safe policy of the university in
the interests OF sound education and
the maintenance OF the highest stand
ards OF educa tional independence and
efficiency is to continue its independ-
enc" under its present charter, to
avoid further Subordination to state
control. and to diminish as speedily
as possible reliance upon moneys re-
ceived from the state for university
support"
1t requested the board of trustees
to follow this stand as policy. and
TO appoint an alumni committee to
campaign for Il SI0.0 900 900 endowment
fund A rigid system of internal
thrift and economy" also was asked,
Mr.. Wickersham contended that to
have the institution under state con-
troll might utterly submerge" it.
DR.. Grayson thought the proposed
$10000.000 endowment would be neg
ligible," saying that the faculty re
port showed that with this sum ready
for use the university would face a
deficit today. George Wharton Pep
per of Philadelphia also opposed the
resolution. He believed the university
should Join hands with the state
instead OF trying to keep aioof.'
