I have the honour to forward herewith a copy of Report from the Shanghai War information Committee for

the month of February last.

The Report calles for no comment on any part wit exception of paragrapha numbered 1 and 4 respectivel... From my telegram No.407 of May 8th, you will have that I have modified the proposal to a certain ext have suggested that instead of Shanghai being ov London with an extra 75,000 copies of the Pictori Pao ( those sent to Hongkong under existing arra teing cancelled), the number should be limite

fortnightly, of which 25,000 a fortnight would Edng accompanied by the Shanghai newa Seation, Russian captions) would go to Vladivostok, and

maining 5,000 some would go to Harbin and the

used as a reserve against emergencies;

I have the honour to enclose a copy of an patch from Sir X. Fraser which gives the result. Leslie's visit to longkong in gather more

visit appears to me to have been productive al

+

and I am of opinion that it would be w-

visits by members of the two Committe.
