CHINA FAMINE SITUATION MUCH

To the Public:
1t has been necessary to come so
often with desperate pleas for help in

to forward to the citizens of Kentucky

statement follows: Happily, though
Unexpectedly, our work on behalf Of
the famine sufferers in China is
about completed From newspaper
statements you doubtless have already
learned of the favorable radical
change in the situation in China,
which cables just received from Pekin
report. These cables advise that re-
cent contributions from the Chinese
themselves have greatly exceeded the
largest expectations; also that abun-
dant rains have now fallen throughout
the famine area and harvests are
therefore assured, where two weeks
ago complete failure was threatened.
The American Committee rejoices,
therefore, that the task for which 1t
was created and for which its state
and local organizations we're estab-
lished, has been accomplished.
