Your Shanghai Mills have already returned to pre-war conditions and are now working day and night employing over 10,000 mill hands.
As to your Tsingtao Mills, I am glad to report that, not only are they now restored from war ruins, but furthermore, they have restarted berations as from October 21 several weeks ahead of our expectation; they jate in fact the first mills to restart working among Japanese mills in that city. I must stress the fact that the officials and staff of these mills must have had a most trying time in the course of accomplishing their task with such astonishing success and our thanks are due to all of them.
