The Richest White Man in China

Intermarriage Is Common Occurrence Among
Them. Plight of the Jewish Refugee Women From
Russia.
BY GEORGE E. soKoLsKY

tcrmarriage is usual, particularly
among Jewish women.
The Russian Jews represent new
and uncertain element in the popula-
tion. They are generally poor, or of
the lower middle class. and bring with
them the habits and manners of East
ern Europe. which hitherto have not
been known among the foreign pOpula-
tion here. A poor foreigner was al
most unknown in China until this in
fiux. There used to be beachcombers
who were regarded as loafers and de-
ported ut the first opportunity. but
poor. respectable while man was hard
ly known. These Jews are finding 1t
very difficult to make ends meet he
cause they cannot compete with Chinese
A certain element of this refugee
population brought funds with them
and have set up as petty shopkeepers.
bakers. small jewellers, mems furnish
ings. etc. But even in these fields there
is little opportunity for them to make
much headway. since they are compel
ing either with the great stores owned
by British companies or with Chinese
shcpkeepers whose overhead is general
ly more favorable to cheaper prices.
An unfortunate phase of this refugee
problem is the large nmuber of nm
protected Jewish women who drift
down here from Siberia and who can
not possibly earn n living here. Many
NJ these become dancers in low dance
halls where they cater to snilcrs and
roustnbOuts Others often frankly he
come prostitutes for the white popula-
ton. Their lives become demorallzed
and In n country where 1t Is SO easy to
obtain drugs. they often become sub
iect to such habits.
Russians having lost their extra ter
ritcrial rights, these Jews are subtetf
20 Chinese laws and have to appear in
Chinese courts whenever they are In
difficulties. 1t is the considered opin-
ion of responsible Jews that the hest
thing that could happen TO them would
he to arrange for their return to their
native cities in Russia. but since no
one has any power or authority to make
arrangements for them here. they nre
eft unprotected and in the greatest
distress. Some of their men folks take
to smuggling and find themselves in
the greatest difficulty
Those of the Russian Jews who have
settled here and have found waya of
earning understand this problem and
would desire to find way of handling

Jewish Children

Albany. n. Y.,-ReligiOus training Of

is urged by Gov. Alfred Smith In n
letter he has just sent to the Jewish

The governor says that the AssOcia-

to take ten thousand Jewish children

a fundamental problem as important
to the community as the care of the
sick and the poor.
The campaign is headed by Nathan
Straus Judge Otto ROsalsky. Judge
Edward Luzansky. Israel Unterberg,
Jacob Wener. Samuel ROttenberg and
Bernard Semel.
Governor Smiths letter in part fol-
lows:
Il have noted with deep interest In

of his race or creed. No state or cOun-
