ar old patriotic gentleman of Hongkong, allow me in the the Arst place to tender to Dr. F. R. Brown, of the Candian Church Missionery Society, my high appreciation and thanks for his wonderful work and

made in the cause of China.

POLICY TO BE EXTENDED
Refugee Council Decision
At a "general meeting of the Emergency Refugee Council, held in St. John's Cathedral Hall on Thursday afternoon, the Council decided that the present soup kitchen policy should be continued and extended; that when he had further information from Canton we should be prepared to assist the Refugee Committee there un- der. Dr. Henry with food, clothing and medical supplies.
The meeting agreed in principle to a small housing schetne for re- fugees on the basis of the refugee tenants paying a low rent, the
details of the scheme to be worked out by the Executive Committee.
It
the was.. announced that Emergency Refugee Council had already undertaken social service work at the camp at Kam. Tin and Father Ryan made an appeal that the individual Social Service or- ganisations constituting the Coun-. cil should assist the Eocial Ser- vice work to be carried out in the Government camps by providing the committee with voluntary and paid helpers for educational, in- fant welfare and all forms of craft
Such being the case. It will be perhaps illuminating to your many readers that, in the Hongkong Government Gazette of May € last. you will fad that amongst the 263 names of persons qualified to practice medicine and surgery in Hongkong, exclusive of Govern- ment, Army and Navy doctors, no fewer than 192 are Chinese, who: the in
opinion at least my majority of whom-hould long work. ago have tendered their services to the Chinese Government during 1912 the present national crisis,
