It is a veritable achleve- ment considering that the Asso- ciation is only two weeks old. Two factors largely contributed to its Instantaneous success. Firstly, the Association is humane character and purpose. its primary object being to succour and re- lieve the multitudes of sufferers parts of In Shanghai and other China

Secondly, the Association is directed by a formidable Commit- tee consisting of leading · local" Chinese and representatives of various Chinese guilds and socie- ties.

With such leaders and a widely representative Committee, it is no wonder that a sum of $40.000 was quickly subscribed in six days. Nor is this all. A door-to-door appeal for funds is being under- taken In # very unobstrusive. manner and the response has Hong exceeded all expectations.
Kong is determined to respond as generously in 1937 as she did in 1932.
At present the sum of $20.000 has been forwarded to the Can- This -tonese Gulid in Shanghai.
sum is urgently required to suc- cour Cantonese refugees because while, foreigners can leave Shang- hai on various refugee ships and while Northern Chinese can turn to their villages. there are thousands of Cantonese families who cannot be evacuated from the bombarded areas simply be- cause there are no ships to take them safely back to Canton or to the country.
re-
Non-Chinese ships are reluctant to take Chinese refugees and so Cantonese civilians are having a hard time of it in Shanghal. The allocation of $20.000 for their relief shows how wisely the funds are being spent, In addition to this 810,000 is being sent to Nan- king for the Central Refugee
Relief Fund. This shows that the Committee is anxious not merely to help Cantonese sufferers but Chinese victims generally,
