CHARGED
In FAMINE FUNDS
Shanghai Association Is
Probing Use of Funds
In Chinese Districts

SHANGHAI, Feb. When peo-
pie were dying by thousands and the
full horrors of winter-time famine
began to be felt in the great belt of
seven provinces in northern China,
where no harvests have been gather
ed this year, Chinese newspapers
that are printed in the international
settlement of Shanghai, openly pub
lished the charge that misuse was be-
ing made of famine relief funds by
Picking government officials.
One of these papers, the Sin Wan
Pao, asserted that famine relief
funds were being diverted to the uses
of a political clique at Peking and
the paper urged that the strictest for
eign and Chinese supervision be i'm
posed upon distribution funds.
1t was after these charges had
been made public that the Shanghai
Famine Relief Association and the
Shanghai Missionary Association tele-
graphed messages to Picking in con-
nection with famine relief work.
In the messages of the Shanghai
Famine Relief Association, addressed
to President Hsu Shin Chang, the
government was asked to announce
without delay a definite policy for
carrying out famine relief work. The
telegram emphasized that the charit-
able public, both Chinese and foreign,
require a clear statement from the
government as to what steps it in
tends to take to meet present condi-
lions in the north and it was made
plain that immediate action was ex-
pected.
Measures the Picking government
adopted to obtain famine funds in
cluded surtaxes of certain kind and
increased railway fares on govern
ment lines.
The message that was forwarded
by the Shanghai Missionary associa-
ton was address to the British and
American ministers and requested
them to urge the Chinese government
to issue an early report on famine
relief surtaxes and intimate how and
when the funds will be employed
Before the message was authoriz-
ed report on conditions in famine
areas was given by Bishop ]. W.
Lambutb of the board of missions
of the Methodist Episcopal church.
He said that not only are the peo-
pie trying to subsist on grass and
roots, having denuded trees of leaves
and bark but in places they scraped
up growing things to such an eX-
tent that fields are left torn up be-
hind them. Children, he said, have
vanished from many villages, as they
have been sold or killed and add
ed that so many have been thrown
into wells that many of these sources
of water supply have become pol
luted. Whole populations, he as
serted will perish before May unless
immediate aid is forth coming. Re-
ports that have come to Shanghai
from widely separated districts give
basis to the belief that the present
famine is the worst China has ever
experienced.
