BURMA ROAD SCANDAL
EXAMPLE OF WAR-TIME GRAFT
Although the Burma Road i'tself, which now' stretches like a decaying monument through the no-man's-land between the Chinese and Japanese armies and thence into occupied Burma, has temporarily lost all the international significance which dramatised it into the world's most notable highway, echoes of maladministration are still disturbing Chungking. Following guarded references to arrests in most newspapers during the past week, an appeal for the sternest punishment was made by the Takungpao, which announces the imprisonment of Lin Shili-liang, former transport director. Defending itself against criticism for revealing the details: of this scandal, the newspaper states that this is the sixth time it has ed examples of wartime graft.
