CHINA SEEKS HELP
TO BLOT OlIT VICE
AND KIDNAPPING
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. (/P)—
Nearly twelve years of organized ef
fort to stamp out kidnapping in Chi
na has served only to disclose that
far greater exertions are necessary
if this particular form of slavery is
to be done away with.
, The stiuation has prompted the
Chinese who organized in Shanghai
in 1912 the Anti-Kidnapping Society
of China, thru which nearly 4,000
women and children victims have
been rescued from their captors, to
launch a campaign abroad for help
in the task. Joseph J. Keegan of
Shanghai, the Special Foreign Com
missioner of the society, has placed
before the State Department a plan
to raise a fund of $5,000,000 for ex
tention of the crusade against kid
nappers. The move will be called
to official attention also in London
and Paris, although it is thru the

Chinese kidnappers not only seize
women and girls .in the larger cities
and ship them to far corners of the
vast country to be sold to brothel
keepers, but prey also on the re
ligious desire of well-to-do Chinese
to leave behind them sons to worship
at their tombs and those of their an
cestors. Where a wealthy man with
out a son of his own so desires, Chi
nese law permits him to adopt a boy
to be reared as his own son and re
ligious custom makes ancestor wor
ship by such an adapted son as ac
ceptable as though the boy were the
blood descendant of the father. The
kidnapping organizations seize upon
this fact to send representatives to
a wealthy man whohas no son and
interest him in tales of a boy of fine
qualities and who could be adopted
provided the debts of the deceased
father also were taken over. When
a deal has been made on this basis,
a youngster of the right age is kid
napped on the streets and palmed off
on the victim of the scheme.
Boys also are kidnapped for sale
into labor slavery. Recently in the
city of Shanghai the police of the
French settlement discovered more
than 30 kidnapped native boys rang
ed Tn^fige from 12 to 15 years.
The anti-kidnapping society main
tains a special force of agents to
hunt out kidnapping bands ad co
operate with the police. Of the vic
tims rescued, however, it has been
passible to find parents or relatives
of only a few and the society now'
maintains an industrial training in
stitution at Kiangwan where more
than 600 are being educated and
equipped to take care of themselves.
The cost of the work has reached a
figure of about $70,000 annually and
the drain upon the purses of the
Chinese who originated the rescue
work has compelled them for the
first time to seek help outside of
China. Mr. Keegan wTas sent to lay
the facts before a number of weal

“Throughout China, but particular
ly in the central and southern prov
inces, is spread a vast, loosely knit
organization of kidnappers who ply
their terrible trade to an increased
extent as the years pass, with a
thorough contempt for provincial of
ficials or police, in the present dis
organized state of the country,” Mr.
Keegan explained. “The number of
kidnapping crimes committed during
a year in China is difficult to esti
mate, but is well over fifty thousand.
“There is always a ready market,
albeit an underground one, for boys
and girls suitable for sale into sla
very, and pitiable is the life of
drudgery they are condemned to.
More mature girls and young wo
men are sold into what might be
termed ‘yellow slavery.’ In all cases
rescue is difficult, particularly as the
abductors or kidnappers seldom at
tempt to market their catch near
their field of operations and gener
ally take the victims to a distant
city.”
