Shanghai, March 12.. "The Shanghal Municipal Coun- cil's big “ock in," affecting thou- sands of people, has aroused a stora of indignant, protest in the Chinese press which asks why tenants who pay their rates should be penalised with the defaultera. The authorities have barricaded the alleyways which lead into the district from the Settlement side
Actually, the dispute is the out- come of conflicting claims by the Chinese-authorities-of---Greater-p.m.----- Shanghai and the Settlement, both of whom assert the area affected is "under their jurisdiction.
Chinese civic authorities are most perturbed at the Council's action, declaring it prejudices the negotiation concerning the status of “extra-Settlement" roads.
The Council, however, holds that the tenants are clearly evading payment of lawful charges for municipal benefits.
Meanwhile, there is tension iä] the cut off area, which is watched by strong guards of Settlement and Chinese police the whole time.- Reuter.
