“...For their share in producing this Year Book the Editorial Board is profoundly grateful. The Year Book goes out as another instance of cooperative service in China- One chapter arranged for"Rural Sendee Unions and Community Parishes'' was not received. While such enterprises are sometimes mentioned in other chapters the absence of this particular chapter leaves a lack of balance in the contents of this issue. It should be noted that the chapter on "Home Mission Work""is incomplete as well as the one on "Among the Tribes' People". Home mission work, as defined in the chapter on that topic, is work supported entirely by Chinese churches' and carried on in more or less- distant centers. Even work within the limits of this narrow definition is. not" all included therein. In a sense the present-day Chinese evangelists who travel far afield are home missionaries. In another sense most work carried on by the churches, considering the relative scarcity of Christians in China, is home'mis-...”

“...iv PREFACE sion work. But neither of the latter aspects of work come within the scope of the Chinese Home Missionary Society. This society carries on, therefore, only a small part of home mission work in China. Likewise the chapter on work among1 Tribes' People covers only a small part of that work. Since the Editor was unable to secure more than the two localized accounts1 included in this volume he was at one time inclined to leave the topic out altogether. However, arrangements have already been made for a comprehensive chapter on the subject in the next issue of the Year Book. Two improvements appear in this Year Book. First, a map has been included within the covers in- dicating some of the most important places referred to in the text, and appendix VII lists all the places named in the text indicating not only their provincial location but also all of the variant spellings adopted by the writers re- ferring to them. Unfortunately most writers on China (even those in China) seem unaware...”

“...effective education of Chinese Chris- tians for service in the Chinese Church. In the Con- ference itself thirty-five to forty denominations were re- presented. It was a cooperative study. The National Committee for Christian Eeligious Education was assigned the task of developing a system of lay training. The ne- cessary support of the type of rural ministers envisaged is to be secured through the organization of church cir- cuits and the establishment of a sustentation fund to which churches and mission interests would subscribe, including the churches needing help. Then Nanking Theological Seminary, and the theological colleges at Tsinan, Shantung, Canton and Chengtu, Szechwan, were urged to take steps to unite. Finally a China Associa- tion of Theological Colleges was organized which may in time serve the whole field in various ways. This Con- ference saw its problem as a whole better than it has ever been seen and moved towards meeting it more united- ly than was ever done before. It may...”

“...return to Lhassa of the pro-Chinese Panchan Lamia, now in exile. In 1934, the British-trained Tibetan troops invaded both Chinghai and Hsikong, which are now established as regular provinces of China. The border conflicts between Tibet and Hsikong proved so serious that the Central Government at Nanking had to accept a local agreement for peaceful settlement arrived at between the governor of Hsikong and the Tibetan authorities. As the British hold of that territory is so strong, the special mission sent in 1934 by Nanking to Lhassa for improving Sino-Tibetan relations did not achieve any fruitful results. Burma and Another border incident which took place Yunnan between British Burma and Yunnan pro- vince in the same year also aroused the suspicions of thei Chinese that Great Britain was expanding her territorial influence in West China. In April, a small band of Burmese troops invaded Yunnan and occupied Pan- hung* and Cheng-Kangtsai districts, which are known, for their wealth of gold...”

“...Equality of Oppor- tunity. "Hands Off The announcement on April 17, 1934 of China" Policy the so-called Japanese "Monroe Doctrine in Eastern Asia" through a spokesman of the Tokyo Foreign Office was a cause of anxiety and opposition not only in Nanking but also in London, Washington and other political centers. In this statement, the Japanese declared that, "Owing4 to the special position of Japan in her relations with China, Japan is called upon to exert the utmost effort in carrying out her mission and in fulfilling her special responsibilities in...”

“...July 28, 1933, the date marking the end of the third ten-year period; and the Sino-American treaty was due for revision on January 13, 1934. China served notice at the proper time to the British and American gov- ernments, demanding revision of these treaties. The most important question in connection with the revision is the abolition of extraterritoriality in China. Other stipulations touch the property and professional interests of the British and American nationals carrying on business and mission- ary enterprises in this country. The two governments did not show any enthusiasm] for the revision; on the other hand they ; took it for granted that the treaties should con- tinue in force for another ten-year period or some indefinite time. In face of the Japanese struggle for dominance in Eastern Asia, it is natural that the Western Powers should be reluctant to relinquish their special rights and privileges in this country. Consequently, the question of revising Sino-foreign commercial treaties...”

“...League, placed the Geneva organization in an awkward position, for it had unani- mously adopted the resolution of non-recognition of Man- chukuo. The action of Salvador, however, produced no great effect because the country was so small as to be neg- ligible. British The sending by the Federation of British Industrial Industries, the most powerful organization of Mission its kind in Britain, of an Industrial Mission to Manchukuo in August of 1,934 greatly ex- cited the feelinigs and suspicions of the Chinese people as to the faithfulness of the British Government in observing the non-recognition principle. Although the Industrial Mission formally denied any political connections, its leader, Baron V. "W. Barnby, said to the Japanese that "no gain will be made by Great Britain or any other...”

“...34 RECONSTRUCTION In order to carry out the latter mission effectively, col- laboration was sought from the League of Nations. On account of the event of September 18th and, still worse, of the extension of hostilities by the Japanese, nothing very substantial could, however, be achieved. Government In the middle part of 1933, about the and close of the Japanese operations inside the Reconstruction Great Wall, the National Government began to revive, or rather intensify, its activities along reconstructive lines. Financial ar- rangements were made with the Reconstruction Finance Corporation of the United States for certain financial assistance from them, consultations were held with several delegations to the Monetary and Economic Conference at London for possible cooperation in the field of economic development, and a request was sent to the League of Nations for more closer technical collaboration. The last resulted in the appointment by the League of a technical agent to act as a liaison...”

“...PEACE IN EAST ASIA 35 out its mission in East Asia and in fulfilling its respons- ibilities. Japan has been compelled to withdraw from the League of Nations because Japan and the League failed to agree in their opinions of Japan's position in East Asia, and although Japan's attitude toward China may at times differ from that of foreign countries, such differences cannot be avoided, clue to Japan's position and mission. Peace in "It goes without saying that Japan at all East Asia times is endeavoring to maintain and enhance its friendly relations with foreign nations^ but at the same time this country considers it only natural that, to keep peace and order in East Asia, it must act single-handed and upon its own responsibility. In order to be able to fulfill this obligation, Japan must expect its neighbor countries to share the responsibility of main- taining peace in East Asia, but Japan does not consider any other country except China to be in a position to share that responsibility with...”

“...offer courses on automobile engineering, in addition to a training school for automobile technique, conducted under the joint auspices of the Council and the Inter-Provincial Traffic Commission. II. Hydraulic The great flood of 1931, which caused Work depredations on the most colossal scale, gave the Government a new impetus to cope with river conservancy works. The National Flood Relief Commission was created to deal with the effects of the disaster brought about by the flood. After the Com- mission wound up its work, the Council was called upon to take over its program in connection with hydraulic re- construction. Over 2,000 km. of the main dykes of the Yangtze River on both banks from Hup eh downstream have been strengthened and raised higher than the water mark of 1931. Special efforts have been made to re-enforce bank protection works with big stones at some parts of the dykes in Hup eh Province which are liable to be washed away by flood. Similar repairs have been done for the dykes...”

“...SERICULTURE 53 Council for personnel training. To exercise control over the malpractice of cotton adulteration, a Central Bureau for the Prohibition of Cotton Adulteration at Shanghai with branch offices in the provinces has been formed under the auspices of the Council. Investigations into the con- ditions of cotton raw material, manufacture and marketing have been miade by the staff of the Cotton Industry Com- mission in the cotton-growing regions. V. Sericulture The sericulture situation in China has Improvement become so precarious that some remedial measures are imperative. For this reason, the Council has formed the Sericulture Improve- ment Commission. In the last spring, over 518,000 seed- lings were distributed freely to the farmers in Kiangsu, Chekiang, and Anhwei Provinces. In the vicinities of Nan- king and Hangchow, 2,000 mow each of barren hillsi have been reclaimed for planting mulberry trees. Scientific methods have been employed to demonstrate the cultivation of mulberry...”
