  For 
  many 
  years 
  prior 
  to 
  1926 
  the 
  interchange 
  of 
  publications 
  be- 
  

   tween 
  China 
  and 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  was 
  conducted 
  under 
  the 
  direc- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  the 
  Shanghai 
  Bureau 
  of 
  Foreign 
  Affairs. 
  The 
  Chinese 
  Bu- 
  

   reau 
  of 
  Exchanges 
  was 
  under 
  the 
  direction 
  of 
  the 
  Ministry 
  of 
  Edu- 
  

   cation 
  at 
  Peking 
  from 
  May, 
  1926, 
  to 
  June, 
  1928, 
  when 
  operations 
  

   were 
  suspended 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  reorganization 
  of 
  the 
  Chinese 
  Govern- 
  

   ment. 
  The 
  Metropolitan 
  Librar}'^, 
  in 
  which 
  was 
  then 
  deposited 
  the 
  

   full 
  series 
  of 
  United 
  States 
  governmental 
  documents 
  sent 
  to 
  China, 
  

   temporarily 
  took 
  over 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  bureau. 
  The 
  exchange 
  work 
  

   was 
  carried 
  on 
  by 
  that 
  library 
  until 
  February, 
  1929, 
  when 
  a 
  com- 
  

   munication 
  was 
  received 
  from 
  the 
  National 
  Research 
  Institute, 
  205 
  

   Avenue 
  du 
  Roi 
  Albert, 
  Shanghai, 
  stating 
  that 
  the 
  Nationalist 
  Govern- 
  

   ment 
  had 
  transferred 
  the 
  Bureau 
  of 
  International 
  Exchanges 
  from 
  

   Peking 
  to 
  Shanghai 
  and 
  had 
  placed 
  the 
  bureau 
  under 
  its 
  direction. 
  

   Shipments 
  therefore 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  in 
  care 
  of 
  the 
  National 
  Re- 
  

   search 
  Institute 
  since 
  March, 
  1929. 
  

  

  In 
  June, 
  1925, 
  the 
  Egyptian 
  Government, 
  which 
  had 
  not 
  at 
  that 
  

   time 
  become 
  a 
  party 
  to 
  the 
  Brussels 
  convention, 
  discontinued 
  its 
  

   exchange 
  bureau 
  in 
  the 
  Government 
  Publications 
  Office, 
  and 
  it 
  was 
  

   necessary 
  to 
  send 
  packages 
  intended 
  for 
  correspondents 
  in 
  Egypt 
  

   directly 
  to 
  their 
  destinations 
  by 
  mail. 
  In 
  June, 
  1927, 
  as 
  stated 
  in 
  the
