"PRO-FOREIGN MISSIONARIES UNWANTED,

The following document whose main points are set out below, says, the North-China Daily News, has been issued by the China Continuation Committee Fulan, a body allied to the National Christian Council, Shanghai. Its personnel is Chimère, but we are informed that foreign missionaries were present at the meet- ing at which the draft manifests was submitted.

and the intercal and for- eign policy and programme of the Kuomintang Party present the only A THOROUGHLY UNPLEASANT scheme for the emancipation of our nation. We also volunteer to par- ticipate in the People's Revolution- ary Movement.

Josua founded His religion on the spirit of liberty, love, crifice and service. Originally He was a great revolutionary force. In the past not a few of our fellow Christians devoted their lives to revolutionary work. Some of them initiated the movement, and others sacrified their lives for the cause; and even now we have no small number of Chris tians who are either leaders in the National Government or officers in the army or connected with other

lines of revolutionary work. We recognize them as the best example

of real Christians.
