In a letter written by Miss Rustin less than eight weeks ago to the mem bers of the Sangrael Christian En deavor society of the First Presbyter ian church in Portland, Miss Rustin tells of the appalling conditions throughout North China, where 45,- 000,000 men. women and children are I confronted witli starvation and where 15,000 are dying dally.
