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.
