Therefore, for definito improvement, the Chinoso factories in the adjoining pro- vinces must be brought into Ilno! simultaneously with conditions in the Foreign Settlement of Shanghai.

The first thing, thorofore, is lo porsuade at least the Province of Kiangsu, if possiblo, also the pro- ! vince of Chokiang, to apply humano rules to their factorios. I was with a view to this that, ! acting for the National Christian Council of China, I had two long and interesting intorvlows with the Civil Clovernor of Kiangsu, He was very sympathotic, and Д wook after my Becond inturviow with him published an ordinanca recommending that
