BINGHAM REPORTS
ON MISSIONARIES
Finds Opinions Divided on
Future Of Work in China
BY GEORGE II. MANNING

Washington Bureau Of the n. Is. Herald)
Washington, d. c.. May oS-
Refugee missionaries from different
parts of China tell conflicting stories,
Senator Hiram Bingham OF Conncc-
ticut has discovered according to
report reaching here from Pckin
where the Senator now is.
Refugee missionaries from the
north are all optimistic" said Sena-
tor Bingham. They all question
the necessity for the evacuation of
their fields of work, and all of them
are eager to return to their stations.
They say that the Chinese people are
friendly and that they have noted
no anti-foreigners.
In the case of refugees from the
south of China and from the Yangste
territories controlled by the Can
tonese. however. one hears differ
ent kind of story. Almost with
out exception those that have
talked with have declared that they
are through-that they consider the
situation which has developed will
make 1t impossible for them to re-
turn to their work.
Il talked with many different
refugees who We're driven from
many different sections Of south and
central China. and they declare that
the propaganda whith accompanies
the Cantonese advance is so en-
.tirely up-Chinese that it is startling.
Respect for age and respect for
learning have been important In
Chinas history for uncounted CEN
turtles. The missionaries with whom
I have talked consider it extremely
significant that the arrival of Cam
tonese forces and Russian-trained
propasandists Is always followed by
the appearance of posters urging
that the aged be killed. that people
OF so or more are parasites, and
that the educated should also be
slain because the educated are para
sites who live upon the labors of
the poor and ignorant"

CHRISTIANITY IS
At CROSSROADS
Presbyterian Conference to Hear
European Report

San Francisco, May 20 F@The
Presbyterian general assembly will
be told that organized Christianity
in Europe stands at the parting Of
the ways, when the board OF foreign
missions has its annual day OF re-
view next week.
"One way leads to deafeat despair.
bankruptcy and ruin. while the
other leads to cooperation. recon-
struction. progress and victory it
will be told
The course which will be follow
ed" in the opinion of the Presby-
terrain board. will depend in large
measure upon the sympathy and
support which is accorded by Chris
tians of other lands. Tho outstand-
ing churchmen of Europe are anx-
ious to lead the church out into
new paths Of service and influence.
The church life OF Europe is fluid
as 1t has not been for some past.
We are not asked simply 10 restore
the Protestant churches OF Europe.
to the position they occupied before
the war. We are asked rather to
help them TO 90 forward and to
make Christianity more vitality pre-
sent in the life OF individuals and
nations than has ever been the case
before. Aside from our own coun-
try, there is no part Of the world
where strong, aggressive, Virile
church is so urgently needed as it
is on the continent OF Europe.
And yet" the report of the
board will say, 'the churches in
many place, are still staggering
from the effects Of the war and the
consequent economic disturbances"
The report concludes:
Europe is not considered by the
Presbyterian church as n foreign
missionary field. We are not in
terested In establishing new
churches. but In aiding the native
evangelical churches SO that they
may be able to recover from the
devastating effects of the war and
go forward with an aggressive pro-
gram suited to the needs of the
hour
