Tientsin, July 1. The following are translations from the Chinese of allegations made by the Mukden Min Pao and of the Netherlands Harbour works Company's reply thereto

From the Min. Pao, Mukden, June 26, 1930:-

For instance, only 2 boats I have arrived instead of 8; work has not been carried out in ac- cordance with the programme in contract: the scarcity of drinking water for the future. For the pro- sent need, the said Company ought

to first solve the problem of water supply, but after repeated urging. it only put a small contractors Teh Shun and Tung Hsin to the job of well drilling. Harbour Depart ment has warned the said Com-

Again the said Company's treatment of the labourers is rather hard and cruel. They are paid only 50 cts. a day, but work 12 hours a day. On account of blasting labourers sometimes get hurt.

To the Editors of the Min Pao, Mukden, and Yung Pao, Tien- tain:--

Referring to the untrue and mis- Hleading statements which you published in your paper of June 26, we beg to request you to be good enough to publish the follow- ing corrections:-

1. You state that only 2 boats arrived instead of 8. In fact there arrived at Hulutan, so far 8 towa, altogether 12 ateam- boats, motorboats and barges, This craft brought all the plant necessary for carrying on the work as prescribed. That the contract was fully complied with in this rospect is proven

You state that the Company's labourers are harshly treated and work 12 hours a day only at 60 cents.

Επ !fact our company's labourers only work 10 hours a day,

The labourers naturally would like higher wages than 50 cents and less than 12 work- ing hours per day, but nothing Is stipulated in the contract about this. The Company will of course see to it that the labourers are satished other- wise the consequences will be worse for the Company than for the Administration.

You state that nothing has been done about the establish- ment of a hospital.

In fact, the erection of the hospital is proceeding as quick ly as possible, and in the mean. time a temporary structure has been put up. A physician especially engaged from Europe is at the spot and the hospital, when completed, will have the most up to date equipment. You state that the work of April and May has not compli ed with the contract.

In fact, the Company is ahead of the Programme of Works agreed upon.

Lastly you refer to the engage

ment of so called Advisers. The Company can only point out that is a necessity resulting from the Company's recogni- tion of the fact that the foreigners" understanding of Chinese: ways in handling busi nesa is deficient and from the sincere desire to facilitate co- operation

In conclusion we may say that if the statements made in your paper were correct, or, even not being correct, were considered to be correct by the Harbour Department, the latter would not have failed in their duty to inform the Company ac cordingly. The fact that this has not been done by the Har bour Department ought to roni vince any one that the state- ments published by you consti- tute an undeserved reflection not only on the efficiency of the Company but also of the Har- bour Department.

The boat, which is being brought to the Far East as deck cargo on a large. freighter, is expected at: Singapore on July 13. Several days will be required to complete the details of its outfitting and to give it a thorough try-out, after which it will start for the Philip- pines.
