No.280.
In view of the easier situation, I do not
propose at the present time to make emergency Regulations
for the utilisation of civil man power but in view of
the situation which may be set up before long by
Japanese invasion of Kuangtung I intend now to make
such Regulations empowering the Governor in Council to
fix prices and requisition supplies.
