#458-459 (Parts 3 and 4 of a 4 part message)

...a rationing organization does not exist and the supply is practically unchanged for (Part 3) many inhabitants of Shanghai (Tbetn?) Chinese and foreigners. The proposals do not take into account the increasing demands made upon our personnel. I think these proposals are very inadequate but I feel obliged to stand by them out of loyalty to the official French services until there has been a new rate adjustment from the Chancellery.

Transportation fares were about doubled as of 1 June but there was another reduction in the number of buses. We are putting into operation the additional clause to table #94, theoretically we are basing our operations on a table approximately 200, actually on table 230 as a result of the extension of the proposal first promulgated.

The additional clause gives the rate for electric lighting water (Power?) 4.09 - 2.66 - 2.66. We are planning to apply the readers' account 1 June 5.80 - 5.80 - 5.70.

Daily receipts from operations since 1 June approximately 1,800,000, exclusive of funds for surtaxes and earnest money. The difficulties of operation are aggravated by numerous clashes with the Chinese authorities, particularly with the Judiciary; (Part 4) we hope to be able to surmount these, thanks to the contacts and by means of the action granted us by our agreement with Nanning. But these incidents confirm my conviction that operations would be impossible should extraterritorial privileges be abandoned.

With reference to yours of 19 May the profits --0-- in millions;

1. From the surrender of goods threatened with requisitioning pipes and castings 80; insulated copper cable 21; oil 85; metal reservoir 8; pile-planks 5.

2. Tree trunks and miscellaneous Diesel parts 5.

3. Miscellaneous 8.

4. Profits from motor fuel 12 ....
