Tandem Bicycles Should They Be Allowed

1e Editor of the "Nonnit-Cuina Dany News"

Sm—It seems incredible that the Police intend to permit the use of tandems on Shanghai streets. These contraptions are very difficult to con~ trol, much more so than the ordinary biesele. There is no doubt the nuitibers are rapidly increasmnz.

it possible that the police cannot visualize what the future has in store if these things are permitted? 1 cannot recommend a belter way to increase the death rate or to add to the discomfort of those who use the Shanghat' streets.

Certainly 2s a short cut to the cemetery, for the average Chinese! yoiist, the tandem will be hard to beat. 'I saw a couple of.clowns giving a free entertainment on one of these things today which prompted me to dash into print on the prospects of things to come.

Nuts.
