Chinese citizens in Shanghai who are sympathetic with the Belgians in their national crisis are starting a campaign to raise funds for wounded Belgian soldiers and refugees. A contribution plan is reported by the leading Chinese newspapers to have been drawn up by Messrs. Tsai Sukong, a physician and social worker who has been director of a hospital established by the Belgians for giving medical aid to the Chinese, and Chang Tsung-jen, a well known Belgian-educated Chinese sculptor.
They are reported to have made the plan which they will submit to the Belgian Ambassador today for approval after which a contribution campaign will be formally started. Considerable space is devoted by the Chinese press to the Belgian appeal for relief and it is strongly urged that the Chinese should do their utmost, for that most friendly country which has done its utmost for the Chinese both financially and medically during the present Sino-Japanese hostilities.
