Food kilehiens had also been rutab- lished in Yaumat, and approximate- ly 1,000 persons were being fed there dafly.
In co-operation with the Chinese guilds, the Council has also been res- ponsible for feeding several thou- sanda more refugees outside the camp, in the New Territories. Stops had been taken to re-open the re- fugee centre at Shum Chun, which had now been taken over by the Tung Wah Hospital and Associated guilds.
"The Committee wishes to pay tri bute to the work of the Wai Young Guild for the past month," said Bis- hap Hall, and to congratulate them on the successful establishment of u refugee centre on the Chinese halt of Shataukok. The Committer have appointed an organiser of education for the Hongkong camps and are pressing forward the whole educa- tional work in the camps. Indus- trial work has also been begun."
Financial Report Reporting on the money voted for relief work since the last
Council meeting. Bishop Hall ankk $20,000 (National currency) had been sent to Dr. Wan Man at Shiukwan for food and nursing. $1,000 (Hongkong) per month for six months to Rev. Witten- bach at Chungahon, $10,000 (Na- tional currency) to Bishop Vallarta for the Walchow district.
Much discussion then took pince regarding the sume spent in Canton and other occupied areas of China. Mro. Selwyn-Clarke sold she felt that more should be spent in the un- occupied areas rather than in the occupied areas, but Bishop Hall said that the Council had received
sum
of $200,000 from the Chinese Gov- ernment and banks with a request that the money be used in assisting the people remaining in Canton, who were mainly of the poorer - classes and had been unable to flee.
After various views had been ex- pressed, Dr. Montgomery moved that In the question of policy the Council agree that in the future more help -be given to problems in China rather than in Japanese occupied territory. but that help may, in pecial cases, be given to refugees in the occupied territory, and that specife means be taken to investigate their areas and means help them,
This motion was carried.
The next meeting of the Council will be held in the Cathedeni Hall on January 20, at 6 p.m.
