H.K. Leak In S'hai's Preventive System
Shanghai, June 28. Though the Shanghai Customs authorities are im- proving their preventive measures in every way possible, they have been unable to put a stop to the smuggling of an estimated CN$2,000,000,000 (£200,000) worth of contra- band into the city every month. The heaviest amuggling traf fic is in goods on the prohibited import list, including cosmetics, silks and wool: Local shops, however, are heavily stocked with imported Items of thin des- cription, and though there is alleged to be corruption among minor Chinese Customs officials, this cannot account for more than a fraction of the prohibit- ed goods, prominently displayed all over the city.
