Bishop Roots, the Chairman of the China Continuation Committee, gave a brief report of the actions of the Committee, stating that a fuller report would appear in the official proceedings of the conference.
The first thing to be remarked was that the main work of the committee has been to promote harmony, mutual understanding and ce-operation. One of the greatest barriers in China is that of race.
