-
This was a Chinese wartime self-help organization founded by Rewi Alley, Edgar and Peggy Snow, and leftist Chinese colleagues. INDUSCO raised money in American and sent it to the organization in China. CMW became a member of the Board of Directors at the request of Ida Pruitt, an old friend, in February 1949 and resigned in March 1952 after an operation for ruptured ulcer. By then INDUSCO was virtually defunct, partly as a result of the war in Korea and mutual hostility between the two countries. He was instrumental in having the files preserved in Columbia's Special Collections Manuscript Library as a valuable historical source on wartime China.
