My telegram To. 101 [of September 2rd: Relief fund].
It seems from a telegram from British Chamber of Commerce
to China Association and from one from "Times" correspondent
in Shanghai that it is not realised that fund is intended to
care for British subjects as well as Chinese. China
Association are telegraphing to explain and suggesting that Chamber make contact with you. You will no doubt give them
assistance and also help to clear up their doubt. The public
appeal was for 'relief of distress in China" and contained
the sentence "The resources of British hospitals are breaking
down under the strain of emergency service, while there are also British subjects in urgent need of help".
