Chungking, July 5.
Wholehearted support for the new financial measures adopted by the Ministry of Finance is voiced in a leading article published this morning in the "Chungking Joint Daily News."
The journal declares the Ministry's three orders respecting the prohibition against the "importation of "luxuries," export exchange and im-Dort exchange are all emergency measures for wartime purposes.
These measures, the paper states, are aimed at encouraging production and exports, discouraging waste and maintaining the exchange market.
In conclusion, it expresses the hope that "the friendly Powers will supply China with more of what she needs and less of what she does not need."—Reuter.
