Randall Gould, editor of the American-owned Shanghai Evening Po6t-Mercury, notified American Ambassador J. Leighton Stuart the Shanghai Newspaper Publishers’ Guild “arbitrarily and without warning or opportunity of appeal” cut his paper’s quarterly quota 60 per cent.

"The poet is notifying the guild it refuses to accept such outrageous and unjustified discrimination,” Mr. Gould notified the Ambassador. The editor said he wanted to ap peal to the Chinese government to 'investigate guild operations and re move its powers to allocate news print. The guild is made up largely of government army organs.
