615. Referring to my 579, October 7, 5 p.m. Main body of Chinese economic inquiry group returned to Shanghai yesterday when Yu [Page 391] Tso-ting, chairman of General Chamber of Commerce of Shanghai, told press Japan’s lack of agricultural and natural resources and increasing industrialization may be taken into consideration as a prime basis for Sino-Japanese trade association. Will probably proceed along lines similar to Chinese-American Trade Council.
Repeated to Peiping, mailed to Nanking.
