Due to a misunderstanding and lack of sufficient nollee to the French authorities, a somewhat dellcate situation existed for about 40 minutes on the Bund at lia junction with the Qual de France, recently, when a supply convoy of Japanese trucks was halted by the French police as they were attempting to proceed through the Concession to Nantao. After explanations, the trucks were allowed to pro- ceed under escort. This excellent photograph gives a bled's eye view of the incident. The line of French police and members of the French Speclat Brizade may be seen barring the way into the Concession, while the trucks and official car can be seen. Interested crowds can be seen gathered at a anfe distance.
