EMIGRANTS WARNED

NO WORK IN SHANGHAI

RELIEVING INDIGENT BRITONS,

(Per Press Association Copyright.)

AUCKLAND. December 26-

The difficulty of obtaining employment in .Shanghai is pointed out by Mr P. Campbell, secretary of the British Chamber of Commerce, Shanghai, in a letter to the Auckland Chamber. “The joint committee of the British Chamber of Commerce and the China Association,” states the letter, “is perturbed at the growing unemployment arid its attendant distress among British subjects in Shanghai. During the past few years relief has been afforded to indigent Britons through the British national societies, but so great has the problem become that the finances of these societies are no longei alvlo wholly to meet the demands made Upon tnom. The joint, committee has now undertaken the collection of funds from which these societies will receive assistance commensurate with their Tl£€kls, “In’ the course of its investigations the, joint committee ascertained that many British subjects arrive from different parts of, the Empire under the impression that' employment is easily obtainable in Shanghai. Such is not the case. In fact, so acute is the depression that many firms have been reluctantly compelled to reduce staffs and salaries, thus swelling the numbers of unemployed. “My committee’s object m writing to you is to. ask you to. be good enough to give the widest possible publicity to the fact that employment is. difficult, if not impossible to obtain m Shanghai, and to give . emphatic discouragement to would-be emigian s o this port.’’
