ANTI-AMERICANISM.
THREE KUNG YEE CHIEFS DISMISSED.
NEW OFFER TO ONE.
From: Our Own Correspondent.} Canton, June 26, Another flagrant instance of anti- Americanism on the part of the Canton Government has just come to light here with the amoundement, of the method in which Doctor F Todd, Mrs. Todd and Dr. J., AL Wright are being dismissed" from the Kung Yee, or »Kwangtung University National Hospital..
All three of these persons held long-term contracta with the hos pital which is entirely Government controlled. This wock they receiv- ed coldly frank letters from the Education Department announcing that the Government had decided to cancel their contracts "inline with our decision to have only Chinese at the head of all Govern- ment institutions."
No "Fuss" Wanted. Dr. Todd is president and superintendent of the hospital. Mrs. Todd henda the nurses' training school, and Dr. Wright is Arst assis- Lant aurgeon. The latter has been asked to stay, without contract, and Chu Man-yee. acting head of Kwangtung University is predicted to be the new head of the hospital. .
The letter of dismissal callously adds that it hopes the three per- sons concerned will accept the breaking of their contracts without making any fuss, and that no matter what they may do, the Kwangtung Government is determined to carry the point.
