CHINESE SAFE

'IN BOMBAY

Bombay, Jan. 17. Although scores of Chinese have their places of business in the heart of sections of Bombay most seriously affected by the Hindu-Moslem communal fight- ing, in which hundreds of In- dians have been killed, not a single Chinese has been reported killed or injured since the trou- ble started on September 1.

The business of Chinese cloth mer- chants who operate in the aforem sections, however, has suffered severely, This is not because.o

of

any anti-Chinese sentiment in Bon- bay,Rather, it is because most of Homboy's population is Hindu, and the Hindus avoid Moslem Lections lest they be lured and also because of a rather general baycott sentiment. The Chinese live on friendly terms with all communities,
