By Rowe ¥, Frrex In the past few months the Shanghai community: has been all but overwhelmed by the stupendous task of feeding and clothing about 300,000 refugees. Tt is almost impossible imagine the work involved solely in [cooking and distributing rice to such multitude. When an. occasional supply of green vegetables and. beat curd is given the problem is further jeomplicated, and yet these tatter food. folements are necessary for the. maintenance of health.
Throughout these past months this vast multitude of people have been objects of charity. Tt is a serious question as to how long such a con-Jdition can continue. In spite of aver 100,000 garments prepared by Mrs. New and her committee, in spite of Fegular food and a place to. sleep, Jconditions of inactivity and of un: employment are sure to result in the deterioration of the morale of these refugees. Some of them prefer Jcontinue in idleness rather' than to be exploited, and exploitation on 3 large scale has already begun, There are agents and export houses who are giving high grade employment to many of these women in the reparation of lace, embroidery and glove knitting, where the average wage for eight and ten hours of work five cents, When men and women prefer to work for such low wages rather than to remain idle, it speaks well for them.
