JAPANESE DISCRIMINATION IN YANGTSE CONDEMNED BY SHANGHAI NEWSPAPERS
Nippon Merchantmen
Accused Of
Obtaining Monopoly
OUTSPOKEN COMMENT
SHANGHAI, Nov. 16. IN RESPONSE to Tokyo's refusal to open the Yangtse, the Shanghai press to-day adduces figures to prove the Japaneso mercantile shipping is freely navigating and monopolising the Yangtse trado..
The
China Chinese owned Press says: "Japanese merchants are freely plying the Yangtse,

and no Japanese cargo or pain the concession areas, and senger ship has met with a mis- cites dificulty In obtaining passes hap due to mines. Japanese for the Chinese staffs of American shipping firms are enjoying a monopoly of the Yangtse."
The paper names four Japanese firms advertising dally in the verna- cular paper to undertake the ship- ment of cargoes all porta as far as Kuklang.
The North China Daily News in an editorial refutes all reasons the Japanese note gives for keeping the river closed. The paper says:
2122-
the Japanese *present thorities are keeping the river closed with their mercantile ships are actually carrying on Important im- port and export business in the areas denied others."
The paper eltes as an example that handled in 28,000 packages were Wuhu one day early in November. and adds: The Japanese stand con- victed of exactly that type of dis- crimination against third party i neutrals which so many times they have voluntarily promised to avoid. The fact is so plain as to be notorious that Jupan is not honouring her own promises, and that discrimination which she disavowed is being exer- eised. Japan owes it to herself and her honour to make speedy improve- conditions."--Untied ments in the Press.

"During those years, Mr. Rose re- ceived many tempting offers to go to other vicarages, and some time ago was asked to come to China, but he refused. Then I'again met him and after talking to him about China and the work out here, asked him if he would not change his mind. He then accepted the appointment,"
The Dean expressed the hope that Mr. Rose would be happy among his parishioners, and get to know the peculiar ways and manners of people in Hongkong, which he himself found were no more peculiar or different than those of other people in the world.
Speaking for the congregation and supporters of the Cathedral, Mr. P. S. Coasidy, a Cathedral trustee, said he was sure he could pledge the support and co-operation Mr. Rose could expect from the congregation, for his job was not an easy The Cathedral was fortunate, he said, in having been able to obtain minister with such high qualifica- tions.
