American and other Importers here today faced new control of their activities by various Shanghai trade associations or guilds which have no official government standing but which can block imports by firmly refusing to play ball with them.
Importers are already beset by the thousand and one regulations which hamstring their activi- ties with a resulting deteriorating effect on China's economy. In the past they have been limited in imports by the Allocation Depart- ment of the Board for Temporary Regulation of Imports.

On the Communist side, their former claim to be only friends of the peasants has gone to the wind. They made as much chaos and misery as they could in the hope of overthrowing the National Governt.ient and establishing themselves in the ruins,
The same sort of upheaval has always followed the downfall of a dynasty in Chino, but today there is a profound difference in that the chaos is shot through with western ideas, Matters have been made wore by borrowing the committee system of govern. ment from Russia, which has directly opened the door to the backstairs influence of the shifting of responsibility and unprecedent. ed graft, the paper concluded.— Central News.
