HELP FOR CHINA

Sir, —The letter written by “Comrade” is the type of letter best calculated to stir up trouble between the new regime in China and countries overseas. First, there is no direct evidence that there is a famine in China; it is mainly wishful thinking on the part of some correspondent who is an enemy of the People’s Liberation Movement. At this moment all our energies should be concentrated on taking steps to follow Britain in recognising China. “Comrade” writes about the capitalised Christians who have supported welfare work in China. As a person with some experience in this work, I can inform “Comrade” that the greater portion of help in this aspect of the work comes -rom working people.—Yours, etc., THY NEIGHBOUR. April 1, 1950.

Sir, —The introduction to an overseas cover magazine, “China’s Millions,” reads as follows: “We have become almost used to receiving heavy tidings from China, as the civil war continues, and there is a danger of pessimism concerning the work of God in that land. We must not for a moment entertain the idea that ‘the initiative everywhere has passed into the hands of the devil.’ It is true that our adversary appears to be having things very much his own way, but we must not lose our grasp on the sovereignty of God.” —Yours, etc., CHINA'S MILLIONS. April 2, 1950.
