According to the Canton "Daily Sun," Canton's only English newspaper, Important communications schemes for improving the comm and welfare of Kwangtung are being under- taken by the CNRRA Kwangtung Regional Office at the Instigation of Its director, D. Y. Lin

The most important project is the dredging of the Pearl River in order to allow ships to leave and depart at any time, instead of waiting for high tide. CNRRA advanced CN$4,500,000 to cover a part of the surveying expenses prior to the dredging itself; while P. A.
