- Abstract:
- The Records of United Service to China, Inc., known from 1941 to 1946 as United China Relief, Inc., document the activities of the organization from the early formation in 1940 to its official consolidation with the American Bureau for Medical Aid to China in 1966. In addition there is a limited amount of material from other Chinese relief agencies that predate the founding of United China Relief / United Service to China. The Records focus on UCR/USC attempts to raise money in the United States, to educate Americans about China and the Chinese people, and to carry on relief work in China. The collection consists primarily of correspondence among the various individuals and agencies involved with UCR/USC, along with other material produced by the agency, such as minutes and publicity material. In addition, the collection includes a series of photographs dealing with China during the 1940s and efforts in the United States to raise money for China during the same period.

Organizational History
United Service to China was founded as United China Relief on February 7, 1941 as a membership corporation in the state and county of New York. However, the origins of UCR/USC stretch back more than a year to January 1940 when a group of men known as the Committee of Five first suggested that the various relief agencies raising money for China could work more effectively if they were to work together. The Committee of Five promoted, without much success, this idea throughout the year among the various agencies associated with relief for China. This committee consisted of Dr. Claude Forkner, Mr. Roger Greene, Dr. Edward H. Hume, Dr. John Earl Baker, and Dr. B. A. Garside. The Coordinating Committee for China Relief and Rehabilitation decided in December 1940 that the idea had some merit and began studying ways in which to coordinate their fundraising activities. This committee consisted of representatives from the American Bureau for Medical Aid to China (ABMAC), the China Emergency Relief Committee, the China Aid Council, the American Committee for Chinese War Orphans, the Church Committee for China Relief, China Famine Relief, the American Committee for Chinese Industrial Cooperatives (Indusco, Inc.), and the Associated Boards for Christian Colleges in China (ABCCC). These agencies decided to establish a corporation that would carry on a joint fundraising campaign. All of the agencies on the committee except China Famine Relief elected to become cooperating agencies of the newly formed United China Relief, Inc.
The original intent of the cooperating agencies was that UCR would be a temporary institution which would last only long enough to conduct a 1941 fundraising campaign. The goal of this campaign was to raise $5 million, approximately four times as much as the agencies had been able to raise separately in 1940. UCR was unable to meet this goal by the original July 31 deadline, so the board extended the deadline several times. By the end of the year, UCR had been so successful that the agencies decided to maintain it as a permanent institution in order to raise money on a permanent basis.
In 1942 UCR conducted a very successful campaign, raising approximately $7 million for relief for China. However, this was UCR‘s last independent campaign for several years, because in 1943 UCR joined the National War Fund and conducted most of its fundraising through that agency and under its supervision. This arrangement was a great financial success for UCR.
The next major change in the organization came at the end of the war in 1945. Most of UCR‘s efforts up to this time had been focused on short-term relief work in China to deal with the devastation of the country by the war with the Japanese. After the war the UCR turned instead to projects with more long-term benefits, such as education. The directors felt that the best way they could fulfill their duty to China was to help the Chinese help themselves. As a reflection of its new mission, the board decided in 1946 to change the name of the corporation to United Service to China, Inc.
USC attempted to conduct its first independent campaign in several years in 1946 and extending through 1947. This was not as successful as the campaigns during the war years had been, a condition which the directors attributed to lack of interest in philanthropic organizations among the American people. In an attempt to generate more income, USC joined with an organization known as American Overseas Aid - United Nations Appeal for Children in a joint campaign, through which they had hoped to receive $4.8 million, but eventually received only a few hundred thousand dollars. Although USC tried other fundraising techniques, such as direct mail to those considered most likely to contribute, USC revenue was still far less than in previous years. In addition, growing Communist influence in China made it seem less and less likely that USC would be able to generate support for China, no matter how assiduously it campaigned. As a result, USC had to scale back its activities. USC operated on an ever decreasing scale until the end of 1950, when the directors decided that USC should become inactive. They dismissed all of their employees and ceased all active solicitation as of December 31, 1950.
During the next few months, all the assets of USC except for a small reserve fund were handed over to the two cooperating agencies which were still operating and associated with USC: the American Bureau for Medical Aid to China (ABMAC) and the United Board for Christian Colleges in China (UBCCC, formerly ABCCC). The contributors to USC were informed of the change and asked to make all their contributions either to ABMAC or UBCCC. In the years that followed, USC carried on very limited activities. It did not solicit funds, but it did receive some unsolicited contributions and bequests from estates. It passed these funds, along with interest from the reserve fund, on to its cooperating agencies. The board met once every year in order to maintain USC‘s legal status. The meetings usually lasted only 10 to 15 minutes and consisted of little more than reelecting all the members of the board for the upcoming year.
In 1965, the board decided that USC could do more for China by giving all of its funds to agencies which were actually active in China than by waiting to reactivate itself at some unknown time in the future. It decided to liquidate its reserve fund and hand over the funds to the cooperating agencies to help them continue their programs. The board therefore ordered that the officers of the corporation look into (1) recovering all the funds from dormant accounts which had previously been held by local committees of UCR/USC, and (2) finding a way of terminating USC‘s legal existence. The officers conducted the search for the dormant funds, but the amount that they recovered was negligible.
At the next meeting of the board, in November 1966, the directors voted to divide the financial assets and liabilities of USC evenly between the American Bureau for Medical Aid to China (ABMAC) and the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia (UBCHEA, formerly UBCCC). They also voted to consolidate USC and ABMAC, so that ABMAC would take on all the legal obligations of USC, and it would go out of existence as of the close of business on December 31, 1966. In total, UCR/USC had raised over $52 million to aid China, 90% of it between 1941 and 1946, and 99% between 1941 and 1950.
Description
Consists of records of an umbrella organization, originally known as United China Relief (1941-1945) and later as United Service to China (1946-1966), which coordinated various agencies in their wartime and post-war civilian relief activities to aid the people of Nationalist China, first on the mainland and subsequently on Taiwan. Agencies represented include the American Bureau for Medical Advancement in China, the American Friends Service Committee, Indusco, Inc., the Institute of Pacific Relations, and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. There are general files of correspondence, articles, speeches, annual reports, budgets, financial statements, documents, agency and committee files, minutes of meetings, files of national, state, and local fund raising material; biographical files on Chinese and American people with interests in aiding China; and publicity and educational program materials. Also present is a large group of photographs of places, events, and people, including such figures as Pearl S. Buck, Walt Disney, Hu Shih, V. K. Wellington Koo, Henry R. Luce, Mary Pickford, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Arrangement
This arrangement does not fully reflect the way in which the files were organized when they were being used by UCR/USC. Approximately two thirds of the material was in “General Files” which were arranged in alphabetical order by subject and reverse chronological order within each subject. These were broken down into several series when the collection was processed in order to give researchers easier access to the materials. The rest of the material was maintained as close to original order as possible. The series which were originally part of the General Files include: Board of Directors - General Files; Board of Directors - Correspondence; Internal Committees; Administration Files; Staff; Cooperating Agencies; National War Fund Records; State Campaign Files; China Office Files; Publicity Department; Legal Files; and Financial Files.

Contents List
Series I, Board of Directors - General Files, 1940-1966
Description: Series I, Board of Directors - General Files - (1940-1966) is arra nged in alphabetical order by subject and reverse-chronological order within each subject. This series includes the agendas and minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors as well as files dealing with the administration of the work of the Board of Directors. In addition, the file “Preliminary Organization” contains material on the founding of the corporation. While the board is not officially involved in these activities (because it had not yet come into being) the people involved in the activities described in the documents served as founding members of the board. Also, many issues were decided by the board by means of a mail vote, and UCR/USC kept each of the ballots submitted by each member of the board. However, since the votes were summarized by a cover sheet, and were often unanimous, multiple copies were discarded, and only one sample ballot was retained from each vote to show the format and the text of the ballot. The files entitled “Minutes” contain the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors, the Members of the Corporation, the Executive Committee (a subcommittee of the Board of Directors), and the Subcommittee on Operating Budgets interfiled in reverse-chronological order. They are arranged in this order because UCR/USC arranged the minutes in that manner in their own records and because the business of all the committees is so closely related that reference to all of their minutes is necessary to understand them.

Description: Series II, Board of Directors - Correspondence - (1941-1966 [Bulk 1941-1950]) is arranged in alphabetical order by subject. This series contains the correspondence to and from each member of the board of directors. A large portion of the correspondence consists of invitations to join the board and resignations from the board. The most substantive issue discussed in the correspondence is fundraising. Some of the letters are between members of the board involved in planning the general fundraising campaigns, and some are personal solicitations of friends by members of the board. In addition, there are letters from members of the board to directors of other charitable agencies and also to the National War Fund dealing with coordination of the fundraising. In addition, there is a limited amount of correspondence with the Chinese government in attempts to cut through the bureaucratic red tape, and to carry out UCR/USC‘s mission with as little interference as possible.

This series contains the files of the organizational committees within UCR/USC which did a large part of the actual work of the corporation. Of particular importance is the Program Committee, which acted as a general planning and supervisory committee on a more regular basis than the more formal board of directors. It had particular responsibility for deciding how to allocate UCR/USC funds and was known for part of 1941 as the Committee on Disbursements. The Staff Committee, which was responsible for dealing with any concerns of the large office staff of UCR/USC, is another significant committee. The Committee of Five and the Coordinating Committee were important during the early cooperation among the agencies and dealt with many conflicts which arose.

Description: Series IV, Administration Files - (1934-1951 [Bulk 1941-1950]) is arranged in alphabetical order by subject and reverse-chronological order within each subject. This series deals with all aspects of the corporation.

Description: Series IX, China Office Files - (1942-1950) is arranged in reverse-chronological order. This series contains the correspondence of the office which UCR/USC maintained in several successive Chinese cities to handle distribution of its funds and to oversee its activities in China. Most of the correspondence is with UCR/USC Headquarters in New York and deals primarily with financial matters, the security of the messages which they are transmitting, and the interference of the Chinese government in their activities. This correspondence is made up of telegrams and letters, each of which was assigned a number when it was sent out. This was in order to detect possible tampering with the mail by the Chinese government. UCR‘s plan was to keep track of the numerical sequence to determine if any numbers were missing, so that they would know if the Chinese had suppressed one of their letters.

Description: Series XIV, Biographical Files - (1936-1947 [Bulk 1940s]) is arranged in alphabetical order by the last name of the individual or the name of the institution with which he or she was connected. This series contains brief biographical sketches of individuals who either were prominent leaders in China, or were connected to UCR/USC in some capacity, either as directors, speakers, or executives. The files contain several different types of material, ranging from small slips of paper, with just a few lines describing the person to magazine articles and booklets written about the person. Much of the material in this series bears no date and does not contain enough clues to determine when during the lifespan of UCR/USC it was written, so it is merely marked 1940s as that is the only decade during which UCR/USC was likely to have been publishing biographical sketches for media consumption.

There are five boxes containing photographs, one box of photonegatives, and one box containing 21 oversize photoprints. Most of the photographs are accompanied by captions used in UCR/USC press releases. The bulk of the photographs are of China, the most significant subjects being Chinese military operations during World War II; orphans, children and schools; refugees and war devastation; and medical work in China. There are photographs and negatives from Lennig Sweet‘s tour of China during the war, along with his detailed captions for each photo. There are also a few photographs taken by Sweet in Korea in 1916. The other major focus of the photographs is fundraising events conducted by UCR/USC. Many officials and supporters are represented including Clare Boothe and Henry Luce, Pearl Buck, President and Mme. Chiang Kai-shek, and a number of celebrities from Hollywood and professional athletics.

Biography/History:
The United Council for Civilian Relief in China was one of many relief organizations established to voice the cause of China during the Sino-Japanese conflict of the late 1930s. As most of these Chinese relief organizations merged to create United China Relief, Inc. around 1941, United Council for Civilian Relief in China is considered a predecessor to UCR.
Description: The December 2007 Accession Series contains documentation of early "Bowl of Rice" parties arranged under the auspices of United Council for Civilian Relief in China. It includes material on the organization and implementation of the Council's activities in 1939.
