Asked how many lepers he believed the world contained at present, Mr. Burgess said the records of his organization showed a total of about 5,000,000, of which one-third were China. Of the Chinese lepers, most were In South China.
"Tt would be interesting to learn how far the various governments can provide housing for, lepers," Mr. Burgess continued. "tu China, cer~ tainly, it is impossible for the 'Government end private welfare institu ons. to establish homes for all lepers. "It would be desirable however, to put them on the land and thus' try to make them self-support-Ing. There is also a need for leprosy clinics in the rural sections, where the disease predominates."
Mr. Burgess will sail for the United States in the s. Empress of Japan fon March 25, after a visit to Nanking.
