Help Forthcoming from League of Nations From Our Own Correspondent, Kirin, Man., July 23.
It is due to the charitable organizations that have been doing so much to help the Russian refugees in Korea, Manchuria and China to let it be widely known at once that the League of Nations has agreed to act. This information I received by cablegram from England two days ago.
Since the April Monthly Spmmary of the League of Nations reached us we have been more hopeful than before. In his report, Dr. Nansen emphasized the serious situation of Russian refugees in the Far East and the extension of the activity of the High Commissioner to the Far East was to be expected. It is with great satisfaction that the definite step just taken by the League is now reported by me. As I have been in touch with friends in England for months on this question you may rely upon my information.
May I suggest that wherever there are Russian refugees careful statistics should be immediately prepared to put into the hands of the representative of the League of Nations when he is appointed. Winter is not far off and those in Manchuria at least cannot afford any delay. Let constructive suggestions regarding repatriation, emigration, employment in China, etc., all be got ready. a
