Permission has been granted for the Glasgow Chinese Students Union to organize on September 24 a flag day in aid of the China Relief Fund organized by the Lord Mayor of London and which also has a committee working for it in Glasgow. The undertaking is under the sponsorship of the Lord Provost, Sir Daniel Stevenson, and others. The public of Glasgow is tremendously sympathetic with the Chinese and there is certain to be an excellent response if only the students can get the things properly organized. People are constantly wanting to know what is to be the outcome of the present conflict in China.
At the recent well-attended meetings of the China Inland Mission, in Glasgow, Dundee, Perth and Aberdeen, the Rev. W. H. Aldis, home director, and the Rev. Dr. Arthur Taylor secretary, announced the receipt of a cable from the Society's headquarters in China announcing that 40 new workers were to proceed to China in the autumn in addition tı missionaries whose furloughs were expired, While the statements caused much surprise they also gave a good deal of satisfaction for it was felt the situation must be considerably better than the public had imagined though Dr, Arthur Taylor stated in Perth and Aberdeen that he was certain their China executive would not hesitate to cancel this permission if things got steadily worse.
