The "savings" movement was officially inaugurated in Chungking on November 10 a year ago when the National Reconstruction and Savings Movement Committee was organized. Between November 10 and 17 of this year, Chungking is launching a publicity campaign. Numerous Chinese have thus given their money to- their Government and ju Shanghai, besides the banks. the "Chinese American Daily News' is also receiving such contributions.
The winter clothes fund campaign will be closed on November 20.
During the past few days man: people have contributed money towards this fund.
Yesterday also happened to be the day on which Chinese troops withdrew from the Shanghai area three years ago. The third anniversary of the withdrawal of Chinese troops from here therefore cannot fit in with the celebration programme. Since the birthday cannot be changed it is reported by the Chinese press that the withdrawal anniversary has been postponed to today when only silent" commemoration will be observed.
Chungking, Nov. 12, The "Ta Kung Pao" published a special despatch from Kunming this morning declaring Japan has presented new demands to French Indo-China requesting the right to land d also station troops at Saigon.
Much interest is attached to this port, in view of alleged anti-Japan ese demonstrations at Saigon.
Many Chinese circles express the opinion Japan may attempt to seize Saigon and the southern part of Indo. China, thereby completing her occupa. tion of the French colony. It is suggested that the Japanese troops withdrawn from China may be used for landing operations at Saigon.—Reuter.
