LAND RECORDS
DELIVERY TO JAPANESE
SEEN AS ANOTHER RETREAT
SHANGHAI, July 2.
The Municipal Council of the International Settlement announced that it is turning over to the special municipal government of the Japaneseappointed Mayor, Mr. Fuhsiaoen, all the Chinese land records which the Chinese Government of Shanghai entrusted to the council for safe keeping when it evacuated Shanghai in 1932.
The American authorities did not participate in the negotiations, which represent another retreat before the demands of the pro-Japanese Nanking Government. Possession of the land records will permit Mr. Fuhsiaoen's administration to identify land owners for taxation.
