Matter Ioated 1
- Although the association ha
been in process of formation ooly
two weeks, it has a charter mem-
bersbip of 100, and donations ap
Droxlmatine SLtfOU ha?3 been re
ceived.
One of the purposes of the as-
scc'atlon, according to an an
nonncement by Colonel Johnston,
treasurer of the association, is to
handle, as a trust company, money
forwarded by American fathers in
the United States to their child
ren in the Philippines. Many
stories already hare reached the
association of money sent from
thj United States to guardians
here who are trusted by fathers
to give It to their children, but
which is so diverted that it never
reaches the children. Stories of
ill treatment of these children, es
pecially girls, also have come to
the headquarters of the associa
tion, an Investigation showing
that some of the girls had been
sold into slavery.

"We are ready to handle these
funds, and anyone in the United
States may keep his children sup
plied through the association,"
said Colonel Johnson. "We bave
had stOTies of money sent to girls
by fathers in the states being di
verted by the dishonesty of the
'friend trusted to give the money
to the. child.' "
