'To the Editor of the "Norri-Cuina Day News'
Suy—It would be of great interest to many readers of your publication if in some one in authority would give an Idea when the Shanghai-Hangchow-Nanchang Railway will be in a post lou to accept freight.
For the past fortnight all the frotght trains have been booked solely to. carry military stores so that the General trade has to stand aside.
Hundreds of tons of ods are awaiting transport and a visit to the North Station' would convince any. one of the scramble to get freight accepted by the railway.
Nota single ton, however, of merchandise has been accepted. for: transit from Shanghai to Nanchang. during the past fortnight. Surely the officials can do something as war 2 not yet declared.
