It will be on much the same lines but will deal almost entirely

with broken faith and treaties. This will cost money. It has

been suggested to us that a statement by a Chinese General who

has been present at the Teatern front and witnessed the German

barbarities would impress the Chinese, and also a record of the sufferings endured by a Chinese stident at a German University

after China declared War. We are hoping to obtain the neces-

sary statements and will then have them translated and distri-

buted. If the business is well done it should have some effect.

This again will cost money. Te also hope to start a regular

system of propaganda in Chinese Theatres. We have not worked

out all details but the rough idea is that we should have short

scenaries which would be explained by our story tellers. 0.8.

The Scrap of Paper: von Bissing returning from his tavern and

giving the order for the murder of Miss Cavell: old men and

children being collected for use as a screen by German troops.

If this sort of thing were well done it would probably have

some good effects. The effect of posters has not yet been

tried in China. Some thing might be done in this line. e.g.

French German soldier bayonetting wounded soldier and caption in sim-

plest possible Chinese.

We hope to give a few prises for the best essays in Hong Kong

schools on the subject of German atrocities.

In conclusion we also hope to get a footing in a large portion

of the Canton press. This will cost money in the form of sub-

scriptions either to the editors or to the owners of the variou

papers.

The Shanghai Committee receives a grant of $7,000ța month. To

think that if we were given $5,000,00 a month we might be able

to do something useful. It would not of course follow that we

should spend the money but we should like to have it handy in

case of need. A monthly return would be made and vouched for

by two members of the Committee.
