To the Editor of the "Norra-Cuina Datiy News."
Sir, When a few days ago we were called upon unexpectedly to assist a large number of Polish refuges, you promptly voiced in your paper our appeal for charity.
It is now my privilege on behalf of the Catholic Circle to thank you for your kind support. I believe that you will like to hear that as a result we have been able to do the necessary so far for these unfortunate people. They are now under the care of the French authorities and have found a temporary home at the Ecole Municipale Franco-Chinoise.
madame Wilden has graciously accepted to preside at the French Consulate over a Committee of ladies who will continue the good work. All donations should now be sent to them. am myself handing over to them $418 which had been given and also a large number of bundles of clothing not yet distributed to the refugees. Much is still needed; especially for the children.
The faults of Shanghai are probably very many; may I say, however, that its readiness in answering any appeal to charity is a very hopeful sign indeed, since "Alms shall be a_ great confidence before the most High God to all them that give it."
I am, ete., R. Jacquinor. The Shanghai Catholic Circle,
