CHINESE FAMINE FUND.
To tlie Editor of tlio Gisborne Times, Sir,—l was pleased to see your leader in a recont issue supporting tlio call made by Rev. Grant, on behalf of the above. But I would like to ask why the N.Z. Government, so prompt to render assistance in the case of tlio Japanese famine, which it wats ndmittoil did not affect a very wide area, should bang back and make 110 sound when tlie present calamity lias fallen upon China, a calamity of far greater magnitude. Surely the Chinese have a claim upon us equal to that of the Japanese. China at; least lias not disturbed the world’s, peace by aggressive wars as is the case with the land of the Mikado. I am, etc., J. G. COX.
