Tokyo, Nov. 1.
The Chinese Nationalist government is planning to import. considerable quantities of cotton cloths from French Indo-China over the Haiphong-Kunming Railway, reliable reports reaching here today indicated.
During recent months, the reports said, the Kuomintang government had secretly dispatched a number of officials to Shanghai and Hongkong in zn attempt to purchase and ship cotton goods into the interior. These efforts, the reports said, -Were thwarted by the lack of transportation facilities.
The Nationalist government, the dispatches added, have decided at last to rely upon Hanoi for a supply of cotton goods. 2 The lack of cotton is being felt acutely by the Chinese and with the approach of winter, it was deemed imperative that some source be found where cotton fabrics were available, the reports said.—Domei, Argentine Given Big U.S. Loan Buenos Aires, Nov. 1.
