Chinese and the Fascisti

To the Editor of the Norru-Cuiwa Datty News."

Sin,—In continuation of my letter! of yesterday, may I, through your] columns, appeal to our Chinese friends ' to join the Shanghai Pascisti?

We who are of that body have to adopt every sure for the protection of the interests of the Chinese as identical with foreign to maintain the integrity of these] Settlements, There are tens of] thousands of Chinee who have] staked their all in these Settlements, and it is up to them to come out} boldly and accord us their support without fear.

They must help us to find ways and means to abolish conditions Which are inimical to the health and security of these Settlements yhere they live and do their business and] have an equal concern.

tance, it must te made] for armed desperadoes and rob and murder, and ferable to make their escape into Chinese, territory within half-an-hour from any point. Greater Shanghai can only be realized by the incorporation and cleansing of that ring of filth and squalor which is springing up around us and which is the sanctuary for the worst type of criminals and fugitives from the law.

All, vight-minded Chinese who, have 'a proper appreciation of the amenities under which they live in these foreign-controlled Settlements, who have no false notions about foreign "imperialism" and foreign aggression," should join the Sbanghal Fascisti and give this body the benefit of their views and opinions, that whatever steps are taken will eventually work for the benefit of foreigners and Chinese alike.

Tam, ete,
