the Editor of the "Nomm-Cua Dany News"
Sim—Your correspondent Wrsrenx greatly concerned because there Jare a few siray wires in the Hung-{a0 area and also because in the early mornings the roads are crowded with farmers bringing their wares into [Shanghai, Evidently Westenx does Jnot live out there otherwise he would Ihave greater cause to grouse.
Think of all these who have their homes out there and cannot go and live there; the Japanese of course will deny this, but secing that curfew is between $'and 6 pin, (even the Jsentries on duty are not stite) can one Jgo and reside out there comfortably?
One reads in the papers that a few hundred. thousand Chinese have re-[turned to Hangchow, Nanking, ete. Jand thet things there are generally returning to normal, so why the JJapanese do not really and truly open Jout the Hungjao residential area is a wonder: Is it that they still want to, Jembarrass the foreigners in Shanghai?
'As a member of the Hungjao Residents' Association I expected their JCommittee would have done something in this respect before this, 1 Jadmit they have done a lot of good, for which T and others are thankful [but if they themselves cannot get any. further with the Japanese Military why not tackle them through the [Consular Body.
[Shanghai, Feb. 17.
