PAUL REYNOLDS IN WINNETKA SUNDAY (Continued from Page 14) missionary body in China who favored the attitude you have formally adopted, but I did not know how large it might be or how far it might be willing to go in making formal declarations. These points are now somewhat cleared up by your communication. Make No Distinctions "The problem is in itself one of real difficulty. The position of our govern- ment is that American citizens in China must be protected in accordance with the reaties, and the goxernment knows no distinction between missionaries and other groups of American citizens. If, nerefore, missionaries are carried off, it would be the duty of the American minister to demand their release and if they were killed it would probably be nis duty, under instructions from the home government, to demand adequate ndemnity. Similarly, if their property were looted or destroyed, it would be the minister's duty to demand compensation. "It is the earnest desire of the signa- tories of the statement you have sent me that no military force be exerted to protect them of their property, and that in the event of their capture by lawless persons or their death, no ransom be paid for their release, no punitive expe- dition be sent out to free them, and no indemnities be exacted in case of their death. "You will realize that between the position you have taken and the policy of the government there exists a certain contradiction. To some extent this, per- haps, is alleviated by the circumstance that the signatories of the statement speak only for themselves as individuals and do not in any way commit their missions or churches. As 1 understand the matter, the signatories feel that the attitude described in the statement is tne one which harmonizes best with the principles of Christianity and they are bound to it by their consciences." This statement by Dr. Schurman re- mains the basis of American policy as regards the protection of missionaries in China today. No distincton is made be- tween missionaries and other Americans resident in that country, and all alike must be protected in accordance with the treaties. Since the petition of mission- aries was first sent to Dr. Schurman in 1924, 126 out of the 131 members of the North China mission of the American Board have signed it or a similar state- ment. The desire that a distinction be made and that missionaries be exempted from military protection may therefore he said to be almost unanimous on the part of the mission of which Mr. Rey- nolds is a member. Claims Discrimination There is considerable misapprehension among Americans as to the protection afforded American citizens abroad, says Mr. Reynolds. It is commonly believed that the United States government pro- tects all such citizens. As a matter of act, the government does not recognize that it is under any duty to protect American citizens abroad.

It is the request of the missionaries that, since there is this dis- crimination in any case, those mission- aries who do not desire protection be allowed by giving proper notice to the American authorities, to put themselves among the citizens resident abroad to whom no protection is given. It is on the question of recommending to the American Board the taking up of this re-interpretation of policy with the state department that the local congregational meeting will act tomorrow afternoon.

While she is on the north shore, Mrs. Vitelli will be the house-guest of Mrs. Michael Straus, 699 Walden road, Winnetka. FLarl Bates was the guest of honor at a dance given recently at his home, 695 Hill road. 51,% MONEY Have funds to loan on choice im- proved North Shore Suburban resi- dence property at 5%¢, interest.
