Sm—The idea that the Basket Fair should be held this year in spite of all the trouble in Shanghai is a very good one, but the problem of traffic difficulties is only one of the obstacles to be overcome. rumne MER ER SABE As your leaderette implies, the Basket Fair was originally intended to sell the products of country people, but this year how are the country people going to get their products to the fair? For days past the Japanese have prohibited the movement of all country produce from west to east and, there is no knowing when they will again permit goods to move. Even if the country folk are allowed io bring their things in there ís still the question of taxation, which is quite heavy.
It would seem that in order to make the fair a success it would be necessary to secure the Japanese cooperation at the barriers.
