Credit Freezing Makes Situation Of S'hai More Acute

By ROBERT P. MARTIN

SHANGHAI, Aug. 12' (UP).—Four years of war have placed Shang. hai in an abnormal economic situation, which the freezing of Chinese and Japanese credits and continuance of the war apparently will make in- creasingly acute.

Hogg's report, forwarded by the China Defence League in Hongkong, of which Mme Sun Yat-sen is. prosident, said that "scorched earth tactics" had accounted for most of the deaths.' Ife failed to indicate the number of victims, but Shanai Province's population is 10,681,090.

"Livestock has been killed and produce destroyed, so that) the population has been left without food," the report said.

Epidemic Followed Epidemie rapidly followed the devastation of all the south-eastern section of the province, with the, result that the health conditions have become "monstrous," it was reported.

Describing The atricken grea through which he had made a trip to evaluate relief needs, Hogg sold:

"In almost every village and town there were large numbers of empty and burned-out houses, Golds were untended, live stock gone.
