Economic conditions in this Port are in anything but a satisfactory state. Many firms are reducing ex- panditure and curtailing their staffs, with the result that the unemployment problem, already a serious one, is likely to become more acute in a near future, and there is Little, if any, opportunity

My Committee would bo obliged, therefore, if you will publish this letter with a view to discouraging the unemployed from coming to. Shanghai, where they will most probably find themselves reduced to extreme poverty. The calls on the local charitable Scrieties for the
