Commencing today, all Chinese goods manufactured in Shanghai must be certiled as such by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce here before they can be transported to the interior under Chungking's control for sale. In a petition sent to the Ministry of Economics at Chungking, the Chamber has mentioned the date for carrying out the new regulations which require the Chamber to certify in writing of all such goods. Printed certificates are ready for distribution.
