To the Editor of the "Norra-Cama Dairy News."
Sin,—The appended statement of the Joint Council of the British Red Gross Society'and the Order of St. John of Jerusalem in England has been sent to H. M. Minister by the Chairman Sir Arther Stanley, who announces that the "Our Day" appeal, so successful overseas during the war, is to he revived on October 14 this year.
The Joint Council recognizes that Jocal claims come first; but the Council represents that the heavy—burdens left by the War on every part of the British Empire bear specially heavy on the Mother Country.
The heads of our National Societies, of the China Association, of the Chamber of Commerce andthe United Services. Association, who have been consulted, are unanimously of opinion that, view of other urgent appeals' for help in China, the best course is to lay the matter before the British public through the British news-Papers, in full confidence that the patriotic zeal. which during—the War placed Shanghai in the first rank of overseas contributors to War charities, will provide a worthy response to the Joint Council's appeal.
Contributions may be made through any of the organizations mentioned above or direct to Yours faithfully, H. Fraser.
