American Observer's Accusation Manila, May 6.
Mrs. Eleanor Franklin Egan, correspondent of the "Saturday Evening Post," who arrived recently in Manila from China, drew an interesting word picture of Shantung province under Japanese occupation, in the course of an address before the Rotary Club here.
Mrs. Egan stated.that the traffic in opium and morphine had increased tremendously during the Japanese regime, and said that there had been a similar increase in the number of houses of prostitution. As an offset to this, she believed that the occupation would improve economic conditions in the province.—Reuter.
