S e o B gt ewot iy AT HALF-WAY MARK Thomas W. Lamont, Chairman, Tells of Relief Administered - and Task to Be Completed. - The American Committee for China Famine Fund, according to a statement issued by Thomas W. Lamont, chairman, has reached the second stage of its mission of meréy of sending funds from America to feed the millions of starving famine victims in the far eastern republic. At the lowest estimate, the statement says, just as much more is needed to carry ‘“‘the last 5,000,000" through to the June harvest as has already been sent. Mr. Lamont points out that quick response by America to appeals made by President Harding and his predecessor, President Wilson, has resultéd in such prompt distribution .of relief that the threatened magnitude of the famine: has been checked to.a marked extent. A continuation of the efforts 80 far made, it is:declared, will place the famine relief for China among America’s most effective philanthropies. ‘ s : B _ The Walting Millions There remain, however, the statement shows, a “last 4,000,000” to be saved, and these people can be saved only by continuous and voluminous relef resulting from American subscriptions.” L o ‘The statement, in part, follows: “Quick response to the appeal of the American Committee for China Faminé Fund glves us at the half-way point in our work the cheering assurance that the subscriptions from generous America already have served a great humanitarian purpose, inasmuch as relief already administered has held the famine in bounds and made it possible for America to save a multitude of human beings. . ' “Whereas early estimates made it seem _that millions must perish, we now are advised that instead of the 15,000,000 who, it was originally feared, were dooméd to death from hunger, relief at present in sight from all sources, American, Chinese and foreign, is sufficient to provide scanty rations until the June harvest for all except 5,000,000 people, These ‘last 5,000,000 are destitute, according to our latest reports from the American Advisory Committee in Peking and are dependent for existence upon new help coming fromr outside sources, and this means America. . : From All the People : “It is the earnest hope of the Committee that the number of contributlons made as well as the aggregate will be &uch as to make our humanita-

rian gift, in a redl sense, a gift of the American people as a whole. : “One way to make indlividual effort and generosity contribute: toward saying China’s starving population ts for every one responsive to China’s need, In . effect; to ‘pick a pal in China for a day’ The .thought behind this sxfec_lal appeal in connection with the-latter part of our effort will be_for American men, women and children to choose, figuratively, a Chinese famine victim as a friend for a. day and to send what they spend one day on themselves or an American friend to the China Famine Fund either through local cemmittees, banks or churches or direct to Vernon Munroe; treasurer, Bible House, New York City. S : :

“No Armerican is so poor that he cannot save-a life at the lowest rate ever quoted, one dollar a month. Life’s quotations fluctuate, sometimes in one; nation, sometimes in another, but the| lower the quotation the greéater the! opportunity of humanity, the opportanity of human beings to save human; life. China is far away—=6,ooo miles-— but hunger is hunger, whether around| the corner or beyond the Pacific. ' “We appeal to America to make effective the work already done in checking the China famine disastér by saving wuntil harvest those already sived from death.” e

“CHINA WEEK” IS | SUPREME EFFORT - OF FUND WORKERS As a practical and popular: demonstration of the sympathy of the nation for a sister republic, a “China Famine Week,” to be observed throughout the United States, has been set for- the eight days from BSunday, May 1, to Sunday, May 8, inclusive. _*ln this week it is hoped that the churches and civic, commercidl and professional bodies will take an active part. The success of this week will determine largely the amount of relief ‘which can be sent through personal sacrifice to 5;000,000 starving people still dependent on outside aid.
