Famine relief efforts unite Chinese and foreign committees
Chinese and foreign groups mobilize to aid an estimated 20,000,000 famine sufferers across four provinces. An American committee led by H. C. Faxon and guided by Charles R. Crane plans funds and distribution, with a $7,000,000 short-term loan backed fund and a $1,800,000 regional effort in seven southern provinces led by Tang Sheo-yi. Reports from Shantung and Chihli describe severe hunger, leafless trees, and families sacrificing essentials as relief organizing actions expand.
