Rising Living Costs

Part Sterling Wages Wanted

To the Editor of the "Norra-Cutna Day New Sm—Your article in today's issue on the H.C.L, is a timely one and I hope it has caught the eye of the heads of firms. As exchange drops the employee getting part of his salary in gold automatically draws more every month, But what about the less fortunate ones who are allowed only a percentage. It surely would be a godsend if every firm in Shanghai could accord their foreign employees at least half their pay in sterling. That would abate'to a great extent our headaches and sleepless nights!
