To the Editor of the "Norrn-Cumna Dairy News"
Sm,—According to the "China Hong List" 1938, there are 16 Chambers of Commerce in Shanghai. Now surely the time has arrived for representatives or even the full Committees of these. organizations to meet to discuss the present situation and formulate plans to place Shai hai in the position it was previous to the outbreak of hostilities, Any decisions could be forwarded by the National Chambers to their Government Representatives and thus have unanimity which would be a help to those who, we trust in the near future, will be conducting negotiations for a Settlement of the Sino-
Japanese hostilities.
Shortly, four points of vital interest to trade, and to Shanghai in general, which could be threshed out are 1. The immediate return tò full Municipal Control of the Northern and Eastern Districts of Shanghai without any conditions attaching thereto.
2. The immediate re-establishment of the Whangpoo Conservancy Board.
3. A revision of the Land Regulations.
4. The setting up of a Boundary Commission to adjust the Municipal Boundaries with natural lines of demarcation.
