London, Jan. 23. Because of the refusal of the Government to allow money to go out of the country some German foreign missionaries are on the verge of destitution, Dr. J. H. Oldham, secretary of the International Missionary Council, said in a speech at a special meet- ing of the Missionary Council of the Church Assembly at Church House, Westminster.

German missions abroad, he said, were "facing catastrophe." Tals was not due to a falling off of sub-scoring a total of 396 points out scriptions, Until . few months ago these had kept up remarkably' in view of the difficulties in Ger- many. The difficulties were due to the restrictions on exchange. Money was available for imports

NEW POSTAL SERVICE
Custody Of Official Documents
(Spechul to the “Hong Koat Địa l Press" (Copyright).]
E
Nanking, Feb. 4. "Custody of documentary let- ters," a new branch of postal ser- vice, will be organized by the Ministry of Communications short- ly.
Mr. Faymonville, the United Sta- tes Military Attache to the USSR., who attended the shooting, in an interview with press representa- tives, stressed the great importance of this new service, the post office.
According to the proposed plan into Germany, but for other puror such correspondence contests will serve as the custodian of any
poses the Government refused to let money. out. The total amount of money raised by all the con- tributors to the German missions had been £330,000 a year.
The salarles of officials overseas had been cut by 50 per cent. The situation had grown worse. Since July there had been a considerable
restriction of the contributions of money sent to the mission 'field. In November, only £700 had been sent out for all purposes and, so far as hey know, nothing had gone out during December.
Tremendous Hardship
Tremendous hardship and dis- tress must be caused by this sud- den cutting off of suppites. Ger- man missionaries in some places were in a state of destitution. It had become clear that it was im- possible there should be any con- tinyance of collective support for German missions from outside. On the other hand, they recognised that they were facing an emer- gency, and therefore, the suggea- tion was made that missionary sccleties might contribute towards an emergency fund to mitigate the immediate hardship and to allow a certain amount of time for the reorganisation inevitable when any change took place. German mis- stons were facing catastrophe, The proposal was that help should be given in the form of los to the German societies. They would much prefer to collect money themselves and to deposit an equivalent in a bank in Germany. They did not wish their people to get out of the habit of giving to missions,
