To the Editor of the "Nonru-Cuiwa Dany News."
Smt—In a recent editorial under the above title, reference was made, not for the first time, to the con. tinued occupation of the Church of England Missionary Hospital Hangchow, and the E.M. College of Ningpo, despite the well-known fact that "officially" (Chinese) the intruders had been ordered to vacate the buildings so that their rightful owners mnight regain occupation.
Tt docs nto seem to be known that another British Missionary College—the E. M. College, Wenchow—has been similarly occupied for over a year, and is still occupied despite the repeated orders of such local officials as the Commissioner: of Foreign Affairs, the Magistrate, and the Head of the Police.
The fact thus stands out that the three Open Ports of Chekiang province—Hangehow, Ningpo, and Wenchow,—where for tens of years there have been the best of rela tions between the Missions concerned and the local comminities:—are, at the present time, under the cloud of doubt and suspeion of not being free from Communistic influence, T am, ete., Hevwoon, Wenchow, April 12, 1928.
