RED CROSS RESCUED 600,000 FROM DEATH Spent $1,200,000 for Relief of Famine Sufferers in China Last Year. To help overcome conditions of acute distress in five famine stricken provinces of Northern China, where millions of persons were affected by nn unprecedented shortage of food, the American Red Cross during the last fiscal year spent more than $1,200,000, $1,000,000 of which was contributed directy by National Headquarters and the remainder by various groups interested In the welfare of China. Through the wide relief operations thus made possible it Is estimated that more than 600,000 famine sufferers were saved from starvation. To the end that similar prompt relief measures by the organization may always be possible the Red Cross is asking continued support by the American people by universal renewal of membership at the Annual Red Cross Roll Call, November 11 to 24. The method of relief employed by the American Red Cross in its opera tlons in China was particularly effective. for in addition to saving hundreds of thousands of lives it provided China with more than 1)00 miles of permanent roads that are sorely needed to prevent a recurrence of famine. At one time the Red Cross employed 74,0110 Chinese workmen, paying them in food for themselves and dependents, tills food being brought in from Manchuria and elsewhere.
