"NUNS SOLD TO
BACHELORS"
Nanking, Jan. 26.
"Young nuns in Harbin are being sold to bachelors at 10 dollars per pound of their weight,” according to aire- fugee woman arriving in Mukden from Tsitsihar, the Cen- tral News Agency reported today. This is said to be part of the Communist “New Deal" under which women are being "emancipated.”
According to the refugee's story, women at Tsitsihar- situated northwest of Harbin — are "comparatively more fortunate" in that "they are only forced to marry monks, without being priced according to their weight. "Even then." the woman was quoted as saying, "some of them" committed suicide out of a sense of shame."-Reuter-AAP.
