SHIPPING SHORTAGE
FELT ACUTELY BY JAPAN ACCORDING TO REFUGEE FROM SHANGHAI. RIVER CRAFT USED FOR OCEAN DUTY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.25 a.m.) CHUNGKING, January 25. The Japanese, suffering a severe shipping shortage, have been forced to transfer river boats to ocean duty, according to a former newspaper man who has escaped from Shanghai. He said dockyards in Shanghai are working round the clock repairing vessels which have been bombed and torpedoed by American planes and submarines. The growing American aerial offensive has impelled the Japanese to adopt stringent air raid precautions in all large occupied cities.
