Chungking telegram No. 49 to British
Embassy, Shanghai. Dr. Kung's "urgent telegram" has
not yet been received by Provincial Finance
Commissioner, i.e. Mayor of Canton. The latter
however tells me that there is no longer any
immediate urgency about transit tax question owing
to decline in imports due to exchange, which renders
tax of little financial assistance.
