The Tokio Red Cross Hospital, said Dr. New, usually contained 450 beds, but since the earthquake, this number was increased by 400 beds. The patients treated were mostly burnt or injured—many were both. There were a number of medical cases. The Chines" unit, under Dr. New (who himself is a well-known surgeon) were given full charge of 40 beds.
"We got on well with the Japaness doctors and ce-operated in every way," stated Dr~ New, "with the result that the work was carried along smoothly in every way. Two days before we left we were entertained by Prince Kanin at his palace, a photograph was taken at a farewell party the, night before we left, and on the morning of our departure the whole. staff with whom we were connected came to the wharf, in spite of the pouring rain, to see us off.
"Mr. R. Kurosawa acted as adviser for the Chinese Unit and did yeoman work-The thanks of the whole party are due to him. During our stay part of the Unit were employed in attending to sick Chinese refugses..in the refugee camps at Shiduara;.,.of whom there was a large number.
