Millions Leave Province.

Other millions have left the province
and gone to Manchuria. Parents have
sold their sons and daughters for as
little as SIS each for the purpose of buy
ing their passage from the stricken
area
The fact that the Nationalists now
control Shantung has done much to
raise optimism among the foreigners
and Chinese directing the relief cam
paign. The Nationalist government has
Informed the China International Re-
lief Committee that it will be given
the fullest cooperation in administer
ing the relief fund being raised in the
United States.
Considerable criticism was aroused in
foreign circles in China concerning the
adviSability of expending vast sums In
Shantung owing to the civil war dis
turbances as wen as the so-called Japa-
nese occupation Of the province.
MacMurray's Letter Quoted.
The relief committee, however, an
swers this by quoting passage from a
letter received here from the American
Minister. John Van A MacMurray,
saving:
In spite of the disturbed conditions
occaSioned by military activity and
banditry It is believed that 1t would be
possible TO find. within the large area
of the affected sections. districts in
which the limited relief might be car
RED on effectively with a minimum
probability Of interruption"
With Shantung under Nationalist
rule, il Is expected that the political
abuses which aggravated the stricken
area are likely TO end. For example.
Gov Chang Chung Chang exploited the
province By collecting four years ad-
vance taxes from the farmers, compell-
ing thousands to forsake their homes.
The result was that crops we're not
planted. This year the seeds were dug
UP by the starving millions and eaten
before they had a chance to Sprout.
Thousands Of peaceful residents Of
Tsinan evacuated that city owing to
the japanese occupation. depending
upon the starving villagers TO support
them
