APART FROM CHINA'S POLITICAL, AND ECONOMIC PROBLEMS, THEY FEEL THAT THIS CITY'S ISOLAT- ED POSITION UP THE YANGTSE RIVER AND THE HAVOC WROUGHT BY AMERICAN BOMBINGS WILL DELAY, ANY FORM OF BUSINESS UNTIL MANY MONTHS AFTER SHANGHAI RE-OPENS. AN UR GENT NEED IS THE RESUMPTION OF RIVER TRAF- FI WITH BUILDING MATERIALS A HIGH - PRIORI- TY ON CARGO LISTS.

In spite of energetic co-opera- tion on the part of he Swim and the excellent work balog done by Liqutenant-Colonel An- nand, whh is here an a report- ing mission for Mr. A. G. Ogden.
