To Deal with Health of New Arrivals With the influx of large numbers of European refugees to Shanghai, the health and well being of the newcomers and its effect on the rest of the community has ceased to be the concern of any one group. Nearly all are now agreed that this has become a problem for the entire international community.
To face this growing problem and to prepare for any eventuality an international committee of leading citizens of Shanghai has now been formed. This international committee is to serve as the executive committee of a new organization, that will be known as the European Emigrants Associated Hospitals for Shanghai.
The new committee will endeavour io find and create hospital facilities for 200 non-infectious and 150 infect tious patients of the new arrivals from Central Europe, without distinction of race or creed.
In the event that the local community will be unable to carry the full responsibilities for these vast undertakings, appeals for funds to various countries that are now interested in refugee work will be considered. Such appeals will not, however, prejudice or conflict with, the larger appeals for support that the existing Shanghai refugee committee. is now making.
The newly elected officers of the organization are Dr, Frederick Reiss, Pres., Mr. Ellis Hayim, Treasurer and Mr. J. M. Alkow, Honorary Secretary.
The Shanghai Municipal Council has delegated Dr. J. H. Jordan to serve the committee on its behalf, while the French Municipal Council has authorized Dr. Y. Palud and Mr. A. Sadoc to serve on its behalf, The full committee consists of the following:—Messrs. H. D. Abraham, J. M. Alxow, J. Barraud, Major A. Bassett, the Rev. M. Brown, Messi S. Y. Euren, Frithjof Hoehnke, El Hayim, Dr. J. H. Jordan, Mr. R. M. Joseph, Sir Ely Kadoorie, Mr. Paul Komor, Judge Nelson Lurton, Brig. B. Morris, Sir Robert Calder Marshall, Dr. Y. Palud, Dr. F.
