Sw;—realise that the Police have their hands full these days and are doing sterling work, but it seems that it would be a fairly simple matter to check the disgraceful scenes to be witnessed every day on the main thoroughfare of Shanghai. As the farmers from Pootung land on and cross The Bund they are attacked by hordes of small thieves who grab at the contents of the baskets, It is evidently an organised business, as I have noticed most of them equipped with an apron fitted with a large pocket into which they slip whatever they manage to steal. Probably many Of these have been driven by necessity into stealing, but surely the genuinely needy can always gain ad-pittance to a refugee camp. Could not the Police round up this gang and place them with some such camp, ANTI-GRAB, Shanghai, Nov, 24.
