REPORT OF BOYCOTT AND CLOSING OF STOUT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.
Following the violent outbreak of anti-foreign feeling throughout China in June of 1925, right up to the present time, the work of the Stout Memorial Hospital has been carried on from day to day with much apprehension and uncertainty. The under current of unrest, dis-satisfaction, and growing anti-foreign feeling has made the situation extremely difficult. When the rising tide of patriotiam reached us last summer, the students began to stage patriot- ic demonstrations, the Labor Unions were enlisted and
general strikes were called and carried out.
·
During this period a strike was ordered by the Labor Unions at the Stout Memorial Hospital. The matter was brought to the attention of the Military General
governing Kwangsai. Being a friend of the hospital he immediately issued a strong proclamation for the protection of the Hospital Staff, and the strike was cancelled by the Labor Unions. We thus averted the initial attack and were able to carry on for the rest of the year.
During the Fall and Winter months anti-christian organisation was very active at Tuchow. Demonstrations, parades, posters and newspaper articles were much in evidence, and the Hospital Staff as well as all christians were much concerned at the threats and growing anti-foreign sentiment, which seemed constantly increasing, and gaining greater force and momentum. ▲ demonstration was staged for Christmas Day, and there was great agitation on the part of the anti-Christians.
