Mission Doctor Urges Aid for China In Interview with Food Relief Body

"In view of our playing for time with Japan from 1937 to 1941 at the expense of suffering China, assisting those responsible for China's future is the very least we can do," stated Dr. Theodore C. Greene '21 of the Cheeloo Medical School in an interview with members of the Food Relief Committee yesterday.

Recently returned from China after serving for 20 years as a mission doctor, Dr. Greene disclosed that almost all of the important colleges in China were concentrated on or near the country's east coast and were destroyed by the Japanese during their eight-year occupation.

"Chinese students face the monumental task of obtaining an education while simultaneously rebuilding their schools," Dr. Greene observed.

Chief need for students still remains adequate supplies of food, clothing and housing, he asserted, pointing out that the lack of these essentials had caused a 40 percent tubercular incidence among college students.

On the basis of personal observations like these of Dr. Greene and of reports from the World Student Service Fund abroad, the Food Relief Committee has chosen China as one recipient of the food to be purchased from money raised in the coming drive.
