RICE COMMITTEE MEMBERS THREATENED

The Rice Sub-Committee of the Chinese Reform Association, at its meet- ing on Sunday night, reported that threats had been received by its members from unidentified persons to stop supplying further data to the Special Investigator appointed by Government complaints regarding rationed rice..

The messages were said to have been sent over the telephone, directly threatening serious consequences if the warning was not heeded, and indirectly bribing the members to keep silent.
