I am, Sir, Sincerely Yours, d. To Secretary General of the League of Nations, Palais de Nations, Geneva. a e n d s . - 3 ' Resolution j ^ v i r t u e of its conneotlon with Manchuria vzhere for more than 60 years the Irish Presbyterian Church has conducted missionary work, the Mission Board of the Church at its meeting in Belfast on 17th July, 1935, ventures to draw the attention of the Secretary General of the League of Nations to the plight of the White Russians in Harbin. From the recent investigations of Dame Rachel Crowdy we understand that more than 20,000 of this pitiable community are on the verge of starvation. Since White Russians are without a country of their own, and in the stress of local conditions at Harbin are finding it increasingly difficult to earn a living wage, we suggest that, if possible, the Nansen Refugee Committee should be invited to take action in this urgent matter, for example, along such lines as the following:- (a) Further investigation of the facts brought to light by Dame Rachel Crowdy. (b) Assistance for those agencies that are considered satisfactory, at present working on behalf of the young. (c) A strong effort of a permanent nature to save from extinction this large body of friendless Europeans in Asia, whose sufferings are due to political causes for which they are not responsible. 2011/7187/686 Geneva, July 28th, 1935.
