Famine in China Reaches Acute Stage Reported Abroad
Charles W. Harvey reports from famine districts in central China as relief efforts aid about 90 000 workers on public works saving an estimated 500 000 lives while 2 000 000 suffer. Observations describe widespread hunger poverty and near-total deprivation with no meals for children and households lacking basic shelter and tools. The Red Cross and famine committees seek at least 260 000 more to sustain relief until crops ripen, with donations urged to American Red Cross Washington or state boards and the New York committee.
