CONTROLLED ZONES IN SHANGHAI
Shanghai, Ort. 13. The question of policing the two Japanese-controlled areas of Hong- kew and Yangtszepoo in the event of their being opened up, has, it is understood, been the principal sub- ject
for discussion between the Japanese and the Shanghal Muni- Council in a series of con- ferences
nces carried on during the past few months, sintes the Shanghai Times.
The Japanese authorities, it is stated, indicated they would like to see Japanese police officers in charge of one or two police stations in the northern and eastern areas. Repre- sentatives on the council, it is under stood, agree to the scheme in prin- ciple.
One factor likely to influence a re- turn to normal conditions in Hong- kew and Yangtszepoo, the article states, is growing feeling on the part
of Japanese civilians in these areas that pence-time conditions be restored. Many Japanese feel that a civil, rather than military influence should now predominate these areas. One very complicating factor in the discussions is that the Council is un- able to recognise any Japanese re- gimes without the authorisation of the Powers.--Reuter.

To some extent connected with improvement of health are certain items of expenditure on the relief and assistance to various classes of the community.
