A difficult situation that will cripple the business of the Shanghai Post Office where Japanese censors are already working has been created as Japanese authorities have removed barbed wire entanglements, formerly placed near the Post Office blocking ihe Szechuen Road entrance, and have moved them to the end of the Kiangsi Road wooden bridge across the creek known to many as the "waterworks bridge." All those who send parcels to the Post Office must now pass through Japanese sentries on the Szechuen Road bridge.
Although the Japanese now do not require those who enter Hongkew to show passes they still enforce search regulations which fact causes a psychological restriction to be placed upon. those wha wish to send parcels to the Post Office. They must now pass through Japanese sentries while crossing the Szechuen Road bridge whereas three days ago they did not have to do that.

The Commissioner traced the retiring officials successes as a football and hockey player for the Police and his rôle as a primus mobile of the now defunct Police rife section.
