THE CHONCS GO
 HOME TO CHINA

Nogales, AriZ. - (UP) - The Chongs are going to China.
 That may not be news, but be- hind this simple statement lies one of the most unusual situations that has arisen in the deportation of Chinese refugees from Mexico.
 The Chongs are Chong Huay, former Mexico City merchant. his six-year-old daughter, and Chong Chow, 12-year-old Mexican youth, the merchants son by adoption and an American citizen.
 The Chongs were arrested here by American immigration officers after they had slipped across the international border one night while fleeing from Mexican ma cionalistas."
 The officers decided father and daughter would be deported. but that Chong Chow, born in Bisbee, Ariz., would have to remain here.
 Papa" Chong cried, the little sister cried and Chow swore that he was not going to be left alone. :
 Finally, the officers helented and told Papa" Chong the youth could go to China, provided his passage was paid. That was good news, but Chong had spent his small for tune fleeing from Mexico.
 Their plight was related among the Chinese merchants and resi- dents of Nogales. Slowly the pile of coins and bills grew. Even the sheriff and his deputies and Americans contributed. Now there is enough. The Chongs are happy again. All three are going to China

THE AMERICAN
FOUNDATION IS
BACK OF RUSSIA
Non.R Recognition Is Very
Costly Curb to B1si.
ness Is Report

New York, Nov 1.-(UP)-The
American foundations committee
on Russian-American relations to.
day reported In favor of immedi-
ate recognition of the Soviet gov.
eminent by the United States.
Tho committee said non-recogni-
ton was n costly curb on American
trade with Russia and declared II
could find not ono objection TO
immediate recognition.
Il reported that although Soviet
leaders are still committed to tho
doctrine Of world revolution they
feel the best way to attain thoir
objective Ia to demonstrate In Rus
sin how we'll communism ean be
made TO work.
The committee blamed continued
non.recognition for the fact that
American exports to Russia have
declined Since 1880, from 26 per
cent, OF Russia's total foreign pur-
chases TO less than 4 per cent, IN
1923 figure.
This drop IL due, the report ex-
planned, to lack OF credits and re-
strictive administrative regulations
In this country.
The report said non recognition
has itself provided the worst bar
rier to recognition by depriving the
American people OF official chan
nels for obtaining information
about trade and general conditions
In Russia. The committed reported
that misrepresentation and distort-
cd pictures have harmed both
countries.
The American people generally
have q distorted iden of tho Soviet
attitude toward the church, tho
committee said.
Although declaring tho religious
issue to DO irrelevant TO recogni-
ton, II explained the Soviet policy
Of separating church from state
and from schools m paralloling the
policy Of the United states. Rolig.
ious worship Is not forbidden, Il
said.
Il points out that since the allied
embargo on Russian goods was
lifted In 1890, Russia has imported
goods worth $4,000, 90 1000 and ex.
ported goods worth $500, 900, DO.
