Despite a statement made by an official of the Western Shanghai Area Special Police Force that the gamble. ing den over the Argentina Night Club would cease operating last night, visitors at the club reported at an early hour this morning that gamble ing continued on an unshoted scale.
Yesterday morning, the. official stated that the gambling den would close in the evening. He also explained that the drive to close all foreign gambling establishments in the Western area and so stamp out all gambling in that district would be carried out gradually. Al other gambling dens had been closed, he stated, and there remained now only a few foreign establishments, the closing of which would put an end to. this form of vice in the special police area.
