u. S. CONCERNED
OVER MISSIONARIES
Protection of Americans In
China Difficult Four
Killed During Year.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Concerned over the growing number
Of cases in which American missionaries
activities Of the so-called Communist
bandits, the State Department today
considered how further to protect It's
Nationals in remote places IN the re-
public.
The reluctance Of missionaries 10
heed the warnings of American consuls
to withdraw to places Of safety has
caused the State Department and the
American officials in China one of the
most trying periods In the history Of
American Chinese relations. The Amer
ican consulate general at Hankow alone
has protested to Chinese officials during
the past Is months more than so times
against the occupation and molesta-
ton by Chinese of American property.
Most OF this was missionary property.
Four Killed, Six Captured.
AS q result of their remaining In
places designated to them on frequent
occasions by consular officers as danger
spots" four American missionaries were
killed during the year September !,
1929, to September /, 1890, and six
were captured by bandits. Five more
have been captured by bandits since
September l, when the Communist ac-
tivities became acute. OF these, only
Rev. Bert N. Nelson of Minneapolis is
still in the hands of the brigands.
His fate and that of the group Of
Catholic fathers at Kanchow, Kiangsi
Province, Is considered the most serious
problem now confronting the State De-
partment. These missionaries were re.
peatedly warned to leave the area and
one succeeded in reaching a place OF
safety without trouble. The others
elected to remain and virtually nothing
as to their safety has been heard.
Other Nations Also Perplexed.
Although the records of the State De-
partment do not differentiate between
protection cases involving missionaries
and business men, 1t Is estimated that
Of the 1000 still pending between
American and Chinese authorities q
majority concern missionaries.
Yet philanthropic and religious or
ganizations hold only about q quarter
Of the $200.000,000 American Invest
ment in China, and the missionary per-
sonnel forms only one-half of the per-
manent American population Of about
5000.
Failure of missionaries Of other ma
tionalities to heed the warnings of their
consular ofncers have resulted In a sim
liar problem for other foreign ofices,
excepting the Japanese. This Is be-
cause there are practically no Japanese
missionaries in China.
