THREE PRESIDENTS
ASK AID FOR CHINA
Harding, Wilson and Taft Appeal
to Americans to Help Stricken
Millions of Sister Republic.

The President and two exPresidents
OF the United States have joined, for
| the first time In the history of the
country, In an appeal for a philan-
| thropic enterprise. President Hard ng,
| ex-President Wilson and EXPIRE sdent
| Taft are all in the forefront of the
movement to send aid from America to
| the famine victims Of China
| One of Pres dent Harding's first OFF,
cial acts after his Inauguration. taken
when he had been In the White House
| less than two weeks, was to renew the
appeal made by his predecessor in be-
half of Americas sister republic in the
East President Hard ng said in part
| "At this, the earliest practicable mo-
! ment In my administration, | desire to
add my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore in
| behalf Of the starving people of large
sect on of China
1.-THE picture Of China's distress is
so tragic that | am moved, therefore,
| to renew the appeal heretofore made
| and to express the hope that the Amer
| lean people will continue to contribute
| TO this humanitarian cause as gener-
ously as they possibly can"
| In appo nting the American commit
| tee for China Famine Fund, with his
| own immediate predecessor in the
| White House, ex-President Taft, as
one of the members, and Thomas w.
| Lamont of New York, as chairman,
President Wilson said in his procla-
| nation:
Not only In the name of humanity,
but In that Of the friendliness which
we feel for a great people in distress,
/ venture to ask that our cit zens shall,
even though the task Of giving is not
! today light one, respond as they can
TO this distant but appealing cry for
help"
