Ogden's investigations reached to July of 1950, but there were even earlier intimations that was operating In Manila. On May 20, 1950, the Philippines government cracked down on the a of money-orders and U. S. treasury checks being sold to Chi- 1 nese merchants at a 25 per cent profit.

The Federal Reserve bank in New York revealed about the same time that many treasury checks to the Philippines had been 1 "fraudulently to large amounts. Most of the. checks were cleared thru Hong Kong. Money orders sent 'by Filipinos In Hawaii and Guam also had been handled illegally, it was found. Here is how the blackmarket money switch worked: Relatives and friends would send money orders, drawn on American offices and cashable In Manila, to.Filipinos there.

The Manila residents would take the money orders to the post of. fice. But the gang had local money black marketeers posted to cept the money orders. These men paid more than the legal rate of Filipino pesos--two pesos. legally exchange for the holders.

In turn the Manila black market. pors turned the money orders over to well-organized Chinese commit' nist gangs. The orders then were smuggled to Hong Kong aboard planes. Ogden said, with the aid of bribed employes. Another bribed employe at Hong Kong would retrieve them from hiding places on the plane.

In Hong Kong; the money orders were deposited in banks by Chi nese merchants. This establishes a bank account ill American dollars for the merchants, agents of red China. They then purchosed goods that could be bought only for dollars. This included scarce medicines and other products paid for with dollars deposited In Chinese hanks. Eventually the money orders nmrin the'ir way back to the post office upon which they had been drawn to he cashed.

The postoffice had lost nothing, The original holder In Manila had made a profit. And the Chinese reds had netted precious dollars which they could spend on the free market for poods they needed desperately and which wore denied them by the blockade of Red China ports.
