Will Lynch goes out quite a bit, considering he is a "captive" of the Japanese. He also keeps up with his investments in stocks in America, tells of companies taken over by the Japanese.
March 30, 1942. Monday. 113th Day.
Sunny and cool.
At 14:45 a.m., met F.L. We went to Canidrome and watched practice dog races. Good fun. Then to a small Chinese restaurant. Thence to 2:30 p.m. show at Cathay. "Hold That Ghost". Had 2 "comps". Back in Cathay Mansions by 4:15 p.m.
No good new yet. Today's papers show firms taken by Japanese as 16 American and 21 British. I think that is incomplete.
Tonight's paper carried item regarding Chinese Reserve Bank notes vs. Fapi (old legal Chinese notes). Seems to be some snags. A few days ago rate was CRB $100 vs Fapi 130.00. But it looks as if a change has been made. It remains to be seen.
ASPRO--one type of aspirin. Comes from Australia. Local agents, one Dodwells (Mr. Nielsen). All local supplies were confiscated by the Japanese. None available in local druggists. One store offered to sell at Chinese $0.40 per pill. My last purchase was a package of 27 for Chinese $5.00.
Got letter, in duplicate, from C.D. Culbertson re 200 Techinicolor and 100 Corn Products.
