A—4 x BARES HUGE TASK IN CHINESE FLOOD Sir John Simpson Describes Rebuilding Dikes and Saving Millions. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. SHANGHAI July 22 (NANA)— On: of the greatest tasks of recon- struction the world has ever known is about finished—the rebuilding and re- population of the Yantze Valley in China, where 23,000,000 people were made homeless and starving by the flcods of last year. The work has been ac- complished by self-sacrifice and hero- ism of which any nation would be proud, and by an infinite amount of | labor. Sir John Hope Simpson, director general of flood relief, who is now on | to New York and England, k. his Chinese helpers with unquelified admiration, although the difficulties were great in cealing with some of them, due to petty thefts and dichonesty. Sir John will make a report of the work at a Flood Relief Commi meet- ing in New York July 26. but he has neover told before the dramatic story of flooded China. The two main phases of the work were building dikes and caring for the reiugees. As for the dikes, one illus- tration will indicate t. - © of the task. If 2 d in the dike building here up to June 10 were placed in one long lin2 w Id form a wall 6. feet high and ¢ Wide around tie world at the <o 1,730,060 People Working. There was an average of 670.000 pco- ple, men and women, working on the dikes under the National Flood Relief Commission for 100 days, and the great- est number at work on any one day was 1,400,000. But as there were many cthers working on private dikes it is probable that the number of people ctually engaged in building dikes was not less than 1,750,000. The relief work covered an area of 21 counties in seven provinces affected | by the flood, 34,000 square miles, and in these counties were more than 1,200 foed kitchens, each of which fed an| average of 2,000 persons & day, or abcut | 2,400,000 people for five months. Alto- gether probably 7,000,000 people were | cared for by all agencies engaged in flood relief, a large proportion of whom would have died of starvation. Men and women committing suicide rather than starve were common in the flood rogion before the commission began its work. It was not a time for sticking to con- | ventionalities, and Sir John, who had, cherge of repatriating the Greeks for four years and has handled tough jobs in India and Africa, didn't bother about Tod tape. Boys and girls of as much | as 10 years old were being sold by their | parents, and the commission did not | overlook this obvious way of preventing children from either becoming slaves or starving. 1,000 Children Bought. At least 1,000 children, most cf them or G years ola, were bought for $1 a year by agents of the commission, and when they had been fed and cared for several weeks by the relief organi- zation were sent back to their parents Sir John tells many stories of the herolsm of people with whom he came ! in contact on his inspection trips, and | 2150 _some of the amusing incidents which took place, such as the great tooth-pulling cay at Chen-Yang-Kan. | This city has been taken by the | Communists and they at once divided peonle into three classes—the military prisoners, the political prisoners or bourgeoisie, and the poor. Their man- ner of deciding into which of the last sses a man fell was someti d by looking into his mot and if a man had a gold tooth he classified as one of the bourgeoisie. he had none he was deemed poor and permitted to go free. The mortality among gold teeth wes amazing. Around every corner was some one helping some one else pull out a tooth, for the Chinese are addicted to gold teeth, A moze somber story is that of the| 4,000 refugees who came up to the) Yangtze on the Communist side of the | river. They were starving, but the nationalist troops on the other bank would not let them cross because they were thought to be Communists. | “‘We are not Communists,” they sald. “We are merely poor and we have been | living on grass and dirt.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. High officials in Washington did not | conceal today their disappointment in | the results achieved at Geneva, after five months of labor by the delegates of all nations. It had been hoped that President Hoover's 33 per cent arms slash, while not entirely acceptable to all nations gathered at Geneva, would at least in- Ject new life in the conference. It had also been hoped that the adjournment resolution would contain some positive and consgructive points which would encourage balief that governments are anxious to reduce armaments as the pecpl> themselves. Nothing of the sort happened. The resolution for adjournment es draited by | Czechoslovakia’s premier, Edouard Benes, has nothing to indicate any such wish on the parts of those attending the | Proposal Not Pressed. ‘The American delegation intended at one time to take a strong stand and de- mand that some of the important points of President Hoover's proposals should be actually included in the adjustment | draft.

After the disappointing re- sults of the present conference, it seems doubtful whether Congress would be willing to vote the necessary funds to send another delegation abroad.

By the Associated Press. |, PONTIAC, Mich., July 22—Prosecu- tor Clarence L. Smith today said Ed- ward McFadden, 39, a former deputy sheriff, had confessed he poisoned his wife, Gertrude, 41, whose death June 27 was attributed by physicians to naturzl causes. McFadden was arrested with Miss Nellie Templin 27. of Brighton. The prosecutor said McFadden had applied for a license to marry Miss Templin, but said that McFadden's confession exonerated her of knowledge of the | manner of Mrs. McFadden’s death. The arrest followed receipt by offi- clals here of an anonymous letter from Brigton which sald that McFadden had purchased poison there shortly before his wife's death. Faced with the letter, the prosecutor said McFadden broke down and admitted placing the poison in medicine administered to his wife.

The fact that Gov. Roosevelt of New York, his Democratic opponent, flew out to Chicago and ac- cepted his nomination at the hands of the Democratic National Convention, doing away with the need of formal | the | notification ceremonies later in Summer, had no eflect on the plans of the Republicans. Speaker Garner, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, may elect to be notified by mail, but that will not be the plan of Vice President Curtis. Mr. Curtis will be notified of his renomina- tion by Senator Dickinson of Iowa, temporary chairman and keynote speaker of the Republican National Convention, at his home in Topeka on a day still to be fixed, but after the notification of President Hoover. ‘The date for the notification of the President was announced late yesterday by Everett Sanders, chairman of the Republican National Committee, as he left the White House after a confer- ence with the President and with Sec- retary of the Treasury Mills and Post- master General Brown, two of the President’s chief political advisers. Mr. Sanders left here last night to return to his headquarters in Chicago. Emphasis was laid on the fact today that Mr. Sanders will direct the na- tional campaign. The President, it was said. while he will be consulted always on the important matters in connec- tion with the campeign, has a huge job on his hands running the Govern- ment today. Birthday Is Day Before. The President will be 58 years old the day before he receives his notification, his birthday anniversary falling on Au- gust 10.

By the Associated Press Lieut. Col. Calvin B. Matthews, in command of the Nicaraguan National Guard, today reported to the Navy | eight persons had been killed bv ban- dits who looted two stores' in Ecstern Nicaragua Sunday. None of the dead were American, but three were thought to be British and the other five Nicaraguans. Guard patrols pursued the bandits, who scattered as they fled and brushed with one group, capturing a large part dise stolen from one patrol brushed with the other group of b ing two. Matthews also advised the Navy that her guard patrol attacked a bandit camp later that day near Jalapa, wounded two bandits and captured a guantity of food, blankets and clothing. The same patrol ran into a second ban- dit group a short time later and three bandits were wounded. Both these groups of bandits fled across the border into Honduras Real Estate Loans (D. C.

We had to suggest alwa and the sug- was usually carried out. ably the most important branch of the whole work was the inspection service, which is new to China. We had 110, inspectors, 90 of whom were Chinese, good and faithful men, the rest being volunteer missionaries. In- spection covered the whole range of the commission’s operations They had to check s0 many trivial and annoying things which in the aggregate would have wasted much money and food. If. as I think. comparatively little was | wasted through ineficlemcy or dis- honesty, this was due to the inspection serviee. “We would find men engaged in food | ribution giving relief to their rela- tives. In one place many bags of flour were found in the homes of men with | influence, and the inspectors got them back. Some kept parts of the funds devoted to labor for themselves and they were reported to the magistrate. If he did not act a report went to the provincial governor, who usually took action, so that little went astray in this way. “The nationalist made trouble troops frequently At one time there we: s in camps around Hen- , and orders were given to disperse them with troops, withcut any pro- vision for their future welfare “We transported all the people to prepared camps, a task equal to mov- ing an army, in_a country where transport is exceedingly primitive, to say the least. “There were 14,000 persons in one camp, but so many arrived while they were being transferred that when, after severa! days, the original 14,000 had all gone there Were more than 14,000 left. Gambled After Begging. “One of the amusing things I re- member about one of these camps is that on the hill beside an ancestral temple were three gambling tables, where refugees who had begged a little money used to gamble. “Bandits annoyed us a good deal. ‘There were few reports which did not mention bandits.

The rich, of course, suffer. “It was difficult to send food through the red country up the Han River. Knowing it was for the Nationalists, the reds would thoot at the boats, so the cost of sending what little we did was high. It cost more to get food up there from Hankow, a distance of 180 miles, than to bring the wheat from Portland, Oreg., to Hankow. The only reason we made the attempt Was to keep down other food prices. Profiteering Prevented. “One of the great advantages of the use of American wheat was ¢ it prevented profiteering. Before the wheat arrived the prices of food in Honan rose 100 per cent, and after the wheat | came prices fell below the normal level. That allowed people to buy native food who otherwise could not have done so. The wheat also served the double pur- pose of feeding the people and building the cikes, as laborers were paid in wheat or flour, and 78% per cent of the | dikes were constructed in that way. We had to pay them some money so they could buy salt, oil and vegetables, as they could not live entirely upon wheat.” Sir John will make another trip back to China to clean up the last financial details of the work, but it is practically at an end. Financing the relief work was one of the most trying parts of the job. ‘There was one time when for cix days there was not a penny in the bank and expenses were running at the rate of $60,000 to $80,000 a day. Sir John borrowed $1,500,000 from the Sink- ing Fund Committee and carried on un- til other funds were available, but de- spite the generous contributions by Cool Trip on CHESAPEAKE BAY To Claiborne Every Sunday $1.50 Round Trip Cool, clean trip through heart of Maryland View of Naval Academy, then 4 hour delightful trip down Chesa- peake, almost out of sight of land.
