Dean of Boys i Commissioners ASK U. S. TO ALTER | "POLICY" IN CHINA Military Protection of Mis sionaries Embarrassing, Says Reynolds The recent visit of Rev. Paul Rey- nolds to Winnetka has raised ques- tions of policy in regard to mission work which have prompted the calling of a meeting of the Winnetka Congre- gational church for Wednesday night, October 5. Mr. Reynolds has worked | for the last six vears as a missionary China. He is a mis- American Board of for Foreign Missions, but he is also one of the ministers of in. Fenchow, sionary of the | the Winnetka church, and his support is provided by the Winnetka congre- gation. Conditions which have come to a focus in recent months now make mis- sionary work in China so difficult that | Mr. Reynolds has asked his supporters | for help of a kind other than financial | in order to make possible a continua- crof. Frederick A. Kahler, member of the New Trier Township | High school faculty and for several | a veteran | years assistant dean of boys at the | school, has been assigned to the posi- | tion of dean to succeed Prof. George | A. Harper, who recently resigned from the New Trier faculty to accept a posi- tion in Tucson, Ariz. Mr. Kahler is a graduate of Princeton university.

Difficult Situation Arises According to Mr. Reynolds, the greatest difficulty that a missionary faces in China today grows out of the fact that he is an American citizen and ' that the American government has an- nounced its determination to protect him in his position in China by armed force if necessary. The Chinese are not unfriendly to missionaries. But the missionary who comes as the mes- senger of a gospel of peace has behind him the gunboats and marines of his country. This contradiction the Chinese cannot understand, nor will they much longer allow the missionary to work under such conditions. If missionary work is to have any chance of true success, Mr. Reynolds believes that it must in some wav be entirely divorced from the connection with military force | which has marked it in the past. Missionaries Embarrassed For some years the missionaries in China have felt their work increasing- Iy embarrassed by this situation. Sey- eral years ago several missionaries in north China joined in a letter to the American minister, at that time Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman, asking that, in case of danger, they be left to look out for themselves, and that if they were actually hurt, no punitive military measures be adopted. Dr. Schurman replied that, while he had the utmost sympathy for the missionaries in the moral dilemma created, the United States government had no choice but to provide military protection for its citizens, whether they wanted it or not. It is this declaration of American policy that Mr. Reynolds declares in China can prosper. He savs that the actual danger in which the mis- sionaries stand at any time is very slight, but that, whatever its degree. any attempt to provide military pro- tection stultifies the whole enterprise. A recent poll of the members of the American Board mission showed 124 out of 131 in favor of leaving the mis- sionary on his own responsibility. The government, savs Mr. Reynolds, will have trouble enough in providing oro- tection for those who demand it. Why should it insist on forcing it on those who do not want it, and whose busi- (Continued on page 7) == must be changed before mission work AY
