SECURITY FOR SALE
An American View Of The Shanghai
Settlements
Shanghai are being built to accom modate Chinese rather than foreign residents. The foreign community has not increased during the past year, bat the Chinese community has. The newcomers are substantial men, who are prepared to assist with their money and sagacity in building up a greater Shanghai.
The Chinese Maritime Customs an- nounces that during the first five months of 1833 there has occurred one of the most severe declines in China's foreign trade in the present genera tion. Net imports to the end of May totaled $907,272,000, as compared with #1,170,383,000 for the first five months of 1933, a less of 22.5 per cent.

A large proportion of the population, both Chinese and foreign, is engaged in import and export trade. Yet visitors to Shanghại this summer have been impressed by the appear. ance of prosperity, which is the more Going remarkable in contrast to that of large commercial cities in other countries. Building construction in Shanghai's foreign concessions has continued at a rapid pace. Everywhere new banka hotels, apartment houses and office structures are rising. Shanghai's po- pulation has grown steady during the past years, and is continuing to in- crease. Retail merchants are com-
paratively well off, and no large shops have closed. On the contrary, the number of retail establishments has

R. O. Grimmitt-Will your Worship put down the Straits Settlements opium ordinance?
[Mr. Schofield.—Can you' state what opium ordinance in Macno has been broken 7
R. O. Grimmitt-Yes. They have the Government monopoly in Macao, and anyone exporting opium without permission must break the law.
Mr. Strellett-My protest is that a person has been arrested and detained without a charge being properly for- mulated.
Mr. Schofield decided to proceed on the other two charges at the next hearing.
