SHANGHAI ENDS SPECULATOR'S PARADISE
(Special To “China Mail" From Our Own Correspondent)
Shanghai, To-day. HERALDING THE END of the speculator's paradise here the Shanghai Municipal Council yesterday issued a proclamation by which hoarders, pro- fiteers and manipulators in vital necessities will be prosecuted by law.
This step follows closely on a similar proclamation issued by the French Council on February 19 by which a specially appointed committee was em- powered to confiscate undeclared stocks and authorised to inspect books and documents with a view to ascertaining cost prices.
Meanwhile, prices continue their upward trend steadily.
Queues of more than 500 persons await their turn in front of each of the 28 stores entitled to sell cheap flour for the poor.
The population is suffering heavi ly as they are almost unable to purchase rice, with a picul quoted above $60.
Many employers are giving rice allowances which, however, are not sufficient to cope with the high prices.
LABOUR UNREST
Continuous labour unrest has re- sulted and unless the Settlement au- thorities proceed in the strictest man- ner, no improvement is likely.
I was unable to ascertain what steps the Council is taking but it is known that for some days the Coun- eil's legal advisers have been study ing the Chungking anti-profiteering
laws which foresee life terms for offenders.
• Hitherto the maximum prison sen- tence imposed on profiteers has been 15 days. Our Own Correspondent.
