Will Lynch again comments on the shortage of food. He says the Japanese are diverting food to Japan and thinks there will a crisis soon, unless food is permitted in more than now. Roselyn

Nice weather. Got a pass and went downtown.
Japanese soldiers and police were chasing all off Szechuen Road. Seems Wang Ching Wei (China's Benedict Arnold--a traitor) was to pass that way. Sad situation when a country's No. 1 must be thusly guarded!
I had intended going to Canidrome to watch dogs being trained (he did not live far from the race track) but got back too late. I got only the long walk downtown and back.
Rummy score was 1-1. JBS said it was his wedding anniversary and so would win.
April 21, 1942. Tuesday. 135th Day.
Nice weather.
Via radio the Japanese admitted bombing of Japanese towns, but belittled, say damage was slight and that objects hit were hospitals and school! Oh yeah, say we here.
Seems provenance of bombers is unknown, apparently from Shangra-la.
Seems repatriation may be possible ere long, via East Africa, as announcements via radio are more frequent lately.
Food situation in Shanghai is becoming more acute recently. Seems the Japanese are diverting food to Japan, paying for it in China with printed money. Likely a crisis here shortly, unless food is permitted in more than now.
