skirts of extrality, engaged in narcotic tracking in China for a score of years before the outbreak of the resent hostilities? What the Japanese individually and officially have done to foster narcotics in China is hundred-folds greater in magnitude and intensity in comparison with what the western nations have been charged to have done out in the Far East, Yet why have the Japanese signally been "franked" from the rebuke, that he has so profusely distributed to the other nations?
On reading his letter a second time, 1 was drawn to his remarks "Jobs are hard to get nowadays" in reference to gentlemen of the League of Nations.
Could this be the reason for his partiality? No, it could not be and yet it may be.' Or else how is one to account for the attitude vis-i-vis the Japanese of our friend, Fraxx, who Protesses to detest hypocrisy?
Shanghai, July 10, The Closed Bridge:
An Alternative Suggestion the Editor of the "Nownt-Cuina Daty News"
Sm—In reply to Weary Wavrance I would like to inform him that the Szechuen and Kiangse Road bridges ware not closed by the Japanese Military but by the Brain Trust of our Municipal Council. The Chief of the Municipal Police Department put up_a sign "Closed to Trae" because 'a-Chinese threw a bomb at Japanese.
I might bring the following to his attention as well as to WaYranen's attention, that the Japanese are not enforcing any regulations against any foreigners in the immediate nelghbourhood of Shanghai. But the Japanese are at odds with the Chinese and any precautions which they undertake are directed against the Chinese not against any foreig ers, The Chief, of our Municipal Police, of course, does not-think that far, and our Municipal Council, which is made up of business men who have their own business and positions to worry about, run the Municipal affairs in their spare time and neglect and inconveniences are the result of such actions, Now let us follow the Jepanese way of running affairs, and the Japanese would do as follows:
Close the bridges for Chinese only andy fet the" foreigners proseed "ret a sign, "Bridge closed to chinese" Se "ito nan oad "brtade, gies, Seam aes Sag Seric ale found up. te. peace-breakers in the ihe "punishment and Incone Te sine sheld be arid tothe sues Rial ott ended that the agri Ss tel for tana Here oon fa asf but properly enforced, for the Chinese.
In this connection I would be interested in knowing the following: Are the positions of Chairman and 'Council' members honorary positions or are they salaried members? Since the salary of the President of the USA, as well as the Prime er's, are no secrets I believe this question could be as well openly. answered? If salaried, what sre the the salaries of the Chairman and mercilessly destroyed for the welfare the fatherland. Dissension in the ranks of those who bulld the realm not to exist, every individual engaged in productive toll is member of the great Soviet com-ni unity and upkeeps the reputation of being loyal to his leaders, for these individuals are the Sceiallst builders of a democratic country.
The case of Lushkov is not a sad one, men like him are bound to appear sooner or later, and the Soviet justice will deal with them accordingly. lest the welfare of the Soviet people might be cadangered.
