In talking with a representative of the "North-China Daily News" who visited him in his office yes- terday, Mr. Hough explained that this step
was taken because so many persons had called upon him that he found it necessary to bar all visitors in order to get on with the business of Equidation.
In the course of conversation Mr. Hough also pointed out that he will not make any official statement untuhe, himself, knows something more of conditions. He said:
"We are moving slowly and care-
