"Our five (or six?) Lodges in China were revived after the close of World War II and were doing quite a bit of work. The situation, however, changed six months ago decidedly, and we have advised the Lodges to go into voluntary recess. That means they hold their membership and can visit the other Lodges. Our Lodges in China have a few Chinese members who have been carefully selected. It was felt after hearing all the reports that it was best to advise the Lodges (to go) into recess and save possible embarrassment and physical discomfort. We have had no direct communication from China for about six months, although we have had word from Brethren who have come home. Our two District Deputies are still there."
