To the Editor of the "Nontu-Cnina Dart News."
Sm,—If the Banker's Association and the Chinese Ratepayers Association ere really interested in putting a stop to kidnapping in the International Settlement they should apply to the "Big Three" in the French Concession who direct the operations of the kidnappers and who control gambling, opium smoking, gun running and drug im-
The French Concession isnot controlled by the Council as is supposed by most Foreigners, it is governed by the "Big Three" in conjunction with Nanking.
What possible chance have the International Settlement Police of stopping kidnapping in their terri tory when the kidnapping is directed by the authorities in the next concession.
The Chinese Bankers and Ratepayers must apply to the "Big ''hree" if they wish to put a stop to kidnapping, but of course if they @id that the "Big Three" would put them out of the way in their own way with their staff of 200,000 loafers, kidnappers, gun-runners, gamblers ete.
At least this is what I am told Chinese.
