“FOREIGN DEVILS.”
BIG ANTI-CHRISTIAN MOVE
BOLSHEVIKS BUSY
Reports received at Hong Kong indicate that there is a growing antiforeign and anti-Christian movement m certain parts of China, notably in the province of Huan, where the American missionary organisation is specially strong. Bolshevik influence is said to he at work. . . The movement originated in a stvidents’ strike at the Yale-in-China College at Changsha, the capital oi the province of Hunan. There have been noteworthy developments also at Canton, where the Bolshevik wing of the Nationalist Party, under the leadership of a former civil governor, is cooperating with a. university students organisation. The British Consul is demanding the arrest and punishment of the persons who raided the Wesleyan Church and distributed anti-Christian _ literatuie, while shouting and terrifying the women worshippers. The movement evidently is part o.t the general Bolshevik propaganda, under which. Christianity. is described as an instrument of foreign Imperialism, ' designed to enslave the Chinese people.
