CHINESE PRESS CRITICAL The Chinese press as a whole does not agree with rice mer- chants increasing their prices. It is stated that ever should Hal phong be blockaded by French authorities as rumoured, Shanghai can still look for rice in Slam and Hongkong.
It is generally agreed among the Chinese here that rice merchants have made use of the tense Étui- tion in Indo-China for increasing

stored in Shanghal. When the price of Saigon rice goes up the price of the native grain follows the lead.
OUTSIDE TRANSACTIONS Another important decision reached at yesterday's meeting was to discourage rice transaction, outside the Shanghai Rice Market which has made manipulation and profiteering possible.
The decision calls for secret in- formation leading to the discovery of these profiteering merchants. As soon as the Association has discovered them their names will be reported to the authorities The Shanghai Rice Distribution Committee also, met yesterday but failed to reach a decision enabling the poor to get cheap Balgon rice. It was decided to await for the arrival of ordered Salgon rice be- fore fixing a date for distribution of cheap rice among the poor.
