occurs :---
Figures available in the State Department show that in the 13% years since June, 1914, the cost of living at Shanghai has more. than doubled, having increased approximately 122 per cent. The increase would be still greater if 1927 prices were com pared with those of 1906, when the salaries of the court officials were established.
Accordingly, I have the honor to recommend that the Congress be requested to ament section 6 of the act of 1908 (Public, No. 403, 59th Cong.. 34. Stat. 816), t authorise Increases in salaries for the court officials mentioned above, L., Judge, $8,000 to $10,000; District Attorney, $4,000 to $0,000; Marshal 43,000 to $1,000; Clerk, $3,000 to $4,000; and also to appropriate therefor.
