fapl, it would appear

that Shanghai's trade is in for one of its gloomiest periods. Foreign traders in the northern port, who have been hard hit since the Japanese gained con- trol of the Yangtse River and the customs, must now expect a further decrease in business as a result of the freezing orders which permit only ap proved imports, and those, ap- parently, to be on a quota basis.. The Stabilisation Board's policy as a result of these now trading restrictions is enforced, rather than chosen, although undoubtedly the elimination of

the so-called Free Market will contribute towards the aim of establishing a sounder and lesa violently fluctuating National Dollar, which, after all, is one of the principal objectives of the Board.

Nevertheless, this doci- sion leaves Shanghai's imme- diate problem unsolved-that of securing sufficient trade to save the city from stark bankruptcy. The guarantee which the Board gives of supplying sufficient foreign exchange to purchase approved imports does safe- guard the future of those particular goods, but the range will be limited, and numbers of small traders are going to face the almost virtual certainty of being forced out of business.
