What are the police of the Settlement and Concession doing con-* cerning the above-mentioned? 01 the Roosevelt wharves, seafaring men bringing their personal belongings are stopped by cooliex in the presence of Annamite police and foreed 6 pay a ridiculous amount. On the pontoons a matter of a few dollars toa CPC, will result in coolies being chased off the premises, otherwise the coolies Ret "what they want, What is the Matter wath all these pontoons and Whatves Sooner or tater the crews: of different. ships will have to arm themselves to come ashore, T have seen wharves under Japan. ese Navy control and. wish to point out how things go on such places. On Squeeze rackets exist, coolies work hard and dare not approach seamen for squeeze, One single Japanese sentry is enough 10 chase them away. The Japanese sentry will never take cumshaw, but) the CPC. will, T have: seen it, 1 would suggest that sentries be" placed on Roosevelt Wharf (French or Japanese, no Annamite or Chinese.) The appearance of armed sentries would clear the wharves of racketeers, On the pontoons there are S.C. Russian Regiment on duty; these men are either asleep or not interested at all, If the C.P.C._ takes squeeze in the presence of S.V.C. members, T suppose they ure of that opinion, but we are of different opinion, We in-HHst on' law and order and hope 0 get it.
