The customs in Kwangtung province handled the largest number of cases, with the Shanghai office ranking a close second. Key centers of this activity are three landmarks in the white mans attempts to capture the market' of Asia. Each now is a struggling Center of international trade. The three cities are Shanghai, which has been entirely Chinese since the end of the war. British Hong Kong, and Portuguese Macau. Both Hong Kong and Macau are near the great South China port of Canton. Reports from Hong Kong frequently' tell of gun duels between smugglers and customs men. Customs patrol boats are armed with heavy and light machine guns. Mix Smoothly. Big-shsmugglers mix smoothly In the r international populations of Hong Kong, Macau and Shanghai and make contacts while their henchmen do the actual smuggling. Smuggling is not new along the China coast, but it has increased since the government notably banned many categories of imports to combat inflation and conserve foreign exchange. A number of Shanghai business men, unable to import legally, have turned to the smugglers as a source a of supply. Details of how deals are made and carried out cannot be obtained, but interviews with several importers here disclose that the price for bringing prohibited goods from Hong Kong to Shanghai ranges from 10 per cent ad valorem at the owners risk, to as high as 40 per cent with delivery guaranteed. Some importers see no moral wrong In bringing In certain kinds of prohibited goods illegally. "Not all of the goods smuggled are luxury items like perfumes and one said.- - "In many cosmetics, cases, urgently needed Items are smuggled" In items which were so short even in the U. S. that only recently have American factories produced .ehougb tq export. In the meantime, the government ax has fallen here, and the import of these items arc under a quota which falls far short of the countrys actual needs. Therefore they are being smuggled In for the, benefit of Chinas industry. , First Bought .Legally. Most smuggled goods -- are first bought legally in Hong Kong from foreign suppliers. From there they are routed to Canton or Macau, from where they make their way to the wealthy Shanghai market. With the government tightening up at Canton, more goods are going by way of Macau. American business men in Shanghai are of two minds about seeing their goods arrive this way. One said: We are in the Far East to do business. As far as we are concerned, we legitimately sold our goods to purchasers in Hong Kong. What happens to the goods afterward, and whether or not they are smuggled into China, is none of our concern. But another American, representing a large American firm, said this: Hong Kong is one market China is another. We dont like our goods flowing from one market to the other illegally, causing price fluctuation! in either market which we are unable to i control and which might react unfavorably toward public reception of our goods when the restrictions are oft. But neither he nor any of the business men interviewed could guess when the restrictions are likely to be "off. ' L WOULD-BSHERIFF . . . Mr. Franco H.

James M. Holloway Jr., head of the U. S. naval academy, hasnt called us In to help select Navys next coach Is that Holloway is an extremely smart person one of the finest types West Point or Annapolis have drawn to date and a better educator than he is a football selector. Another reason Is that the admiral figured ws would cast pur vote for Capt. Tom Hamilton, who Is now Navys director of athletics. Captain Hamilton, a brilliant navy officer, only needed a bit more modern experience and a slightly less rigorous schedule to be a match for anyone. He was far behind such coaches as Frit Crisler, Lou Little, Frank Leahy and many others in experience. And experience la the most vital requisite of X footbaU Grantland Rice Navy had Its pick of the field? Who would be the one to select? Among the best coaches in college football In no selected order we could name the ' following; Leahy, Notre Dame; Crisler, Michigan; Little, Columbia; Red Blalk, Army. Matty Bell, 8.M.U.; Jimmy Phelan, St. Marys; Blair Cherry, Texas; Jim Tatum, Maryland; Wallace Wade, Duke; Paul Bryant, Kentucky; Red Sanders, Yanderbllt; Bobby Dodd, Georgia Tech; Wally Butts, Georgia,, and Bernle Blerman, Minnesota. But how many of these can Navy get? I dont think Navy could get Leahy, Crisler or Little. I doubt that Navy woJd reach for Blalk. Ive heard two names mentioned lately Phelan of St Marys and Tatum of Maryland. Either Vould be an choice. Phelans 1945 or 1948 St Marys team was certainly as well coached as Leahy's Notra Dame teams or Crisler Michigan teams. Leahy and CrlBler currently are rated on top. Both are brilliant coaches.
