Russians as well as foreigners find it hard to completely grasp the nature of the work which the local Emigrants' Committee has been carrying Sut during the many years of its existence. To say that this Committee is to Russians what their Consulate is to other nationals in. Shanghai would not be enough. Firstly it should be noted that only a few people are employed in the Commit~ tee, whereas they are catering to the needs of the largest European community in the city. Also, the Emigrants' Committee receives no materi-or moral support from any govern. ment. Furthermore, no other local colony has such a large percentage of Indigents, and the greatest part of the work done by the Committee is helping the poorer side of the Colony. Many indigents, sick and unfortunates come to the: Committee daily, asking for aid by means of work, mone) shelter or medical care. In the latter respect, the Committee gives special cards to people in need of free doctor ing. Armed with these cards, people can apply to the French Municipal Ambulatory, to the Hospital of the Russian Orthodox Confraternity, to the General Hospital or to the Country Hospital, There they can not only come for weekly inspections, but are placed in rooms for course of medical care.
