MTOFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OTfEflON', THTJTCSDAY, MAT 2C. 3938. PAGE TWO BIGS PROBLEMS FOR MISSIONARIES Many of 6000 Church Rep resentatives Directly In volved in War Risks and Hardships Future Dark By Elmer W. Peterson SHANGHAI (Correspondence of the Associated Press) To the Amer ican missionary movement In Cnlna, the greatest organized endeavor of Its kind In the world, the Chinese Japanese war haa brought serious problems, both present and future, and an abundance of hard work and danger for Individual missionaries. Many of the 8.000 missionaries have been directly' Involved In war risks snd hardships. Mission property has been bombed and shelled. Mission compounds have been barricaded against fighting Just outside their walls. Some missionaries have seen their towns change hands more than once. Death For gome A few missionaries have met vio lent deaths since the war began but nearly all these were due to isolated affairs well behind the battle lines. This Is in contrast to the Boxer up rising of 1000, In whlon more than 200 occidental missionaries and mem ben of their families were slain. The end of the war Is sure to bring new problems, no matter who wins Victory for the Japanese would see the extensive foreign missionary In fluence tested against Jspanese con trols and Japanese plsns for spread ing their "new oulturo" In China, A Chinese victory, experienced ob servers believe, may see the spread of antt-forelgn sentiment as part of a great revival of Chinese national consciousness. Manifestations of this spirit, seeking a China free of for eign Interests and falling to disting uish between the foreign missionary and the foreign business man, brought missionary killings In 18J7. Investment Periled Either way, therefore, the $43,000, 000 Investment In China of United States missionary and philanthropic societies, with an expenditure of mil lions of dollars annually, Is sure to be vitally affected by policies of China's post-war masters. Should the Chinese win, however, the mtsslonsry movement can hope for help from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's support of Christianity and from a widespread appreciation of the manner In which missionaries have coped with the trsglo problem of providing food and ehelter for millions of the war's destitute. Medical missionaries have aaved thousands of lives and Inoculated soores of thousands against Infectious disease. Relief committees have la bored at Shanghai, Nanking and oth er centers of Buffering without at tention to creed, Catholics and Pro testants working aide by Bids for the stricken populace. In some Instances American mis sionaries, safeguarding mission prop erty and their native followers, have deslt with Chinese rrgulars. guer illas snd bandits and the Japanese army, In quick succession. Japs Laud courage Japanese military leaders have paid tribute to the courage of American missionaries, many of whom have re mained at their posta In beleaguered and ultimately captured cities. American Protestant missionary ae. ttvlty csn be said to hero begun In China in 1807. In 1900 there were 1,000 missionaries In the country, representing 80 societies. In 1S37. there were over 8.000 Amerlcsn work ers ot 107 societies. In 135 total American holdings In China were estimated at e340.ooo.000. of which the property of missions and phllanthroplcal organisations came to M3.0O0.000. The first Cathollo mission was founded In China at the atart of the I4th oentury. In 1038 the Catholic movement Included 18.107 schools, 418 orphanagee. 336 hospitals and asylums. In addition to churches. Protection of mlsalonerlee and their safe withdrawal from danger tones haa been a major concern of various oecldrntal governments concerned.
