PEKINO, June 20th. With the continuous requisition- ing of supplies for the mainten- ance of Nationalist troops in the vicinity of the capital, coupled, with a record business slump, the Peking Chamber of Commerce is confronted with what is said to be one of its most difficult problema in recent times.
It is stated that since the intro- duction of the Nationalist, régime in Peking, the chamber has provid-" the light of present day conditions. Mr. A. W.

But as far as we can see there is no hope, under existing conditions, that the res- trictions will be removed. On the contrary, unless there is an usually heavy rainfall, it is more likely that they will have to be "extended and there is a distinct probability that they will be con- tioned throughout the winter.
