Organization to Send Refugees to Finish Their Education in American Colleges Among the numerous Russian re-fagees from Vladivostok and Northern Manchuria, now at Shanghai, there are over 50 young men and women who are in dire need of completing their education. Re volution and civil war have deprived them of that possibility. Repatriation 1s impossible for them for many reasons. Most of these young people are without any means whatsoever and cannot secure employment here, though they are ready to do any kind of work, be it even hard physical labour.
On Tuesday evening a meeting was called at the Y.M.C.A. quarters for the purpose of discussing the situation and finding ways and means to assist these young people in their precarious state.
Thanks to the courtesy of Messrs. Lockwood and-Fitch a spacious room was placed at their disposal. In addition to about 35 young, sturdy, energetic men, mostly former officers of the Russian army, who have served throughout the German and Russian civil wars, and four young ladies, the meeting was attended by Messrs. Fitch, Ellis and Hayes of the Y.M.C.A. and Mr. Paul Blumenthal, member of the Committee of the Russian National Union for the assistance of Kussian students, organized at Harbin, and of the Harbin Y.M.C.A.
