“...constructive accomplishments in this field. Telephones Until recently telephone service in China has been limited to a few of the largest cities, and even where it existed at all, it was inadequate and inefficient. Long distance service was practically nil. Within the past two or three years this type of service has been receiving constructive attention. Several cities are installing automatic services, including Shanghai, Han- kow, Changchun and Mukden. The automatic system in Nanking has been completed and is working perfectly. A new exchange in Mukden is ready for operation, with a capacity of 5,000 automatic telephones. Long distance service has been established between Peiping and Harbin; Nanking and Shanghai; Tientsin and Chinwangtao; and during 1931 is to be completed between Canton and Hong kong. These accomplishments, though as yet few in comparison with the size and population of China, are significant because of the great deal done in the short time since use of the telephone...”

“...harbors: irrigation 27 world the best of broadcast programs that China can offer. A 20 K.W. plant at Chenju, near Shanghai, was inaugu- atecl in December, 1930, for European and American traffic. Since the first of August, 1 929, all wireless projects have been put under the control of the Ministry of Communi- cations. Of three huge harbor developments that are Pr ects proposed, one is already under way at Hulu- tao, on the Gulf of Liaotung, work having begun in April, 1930, and is to be completed in five years, at a cost of more than Gold $6,000,000. The harbor will have a capacity for accommodating at least 100 steamers and a berthing line of 8,800 feet. The Yangtze River Conservancy Board under the Ministry of Communications is surveying the Yangtze River through its whole length, as a part of the scheme for improving the river by embankments, dams, bridges, dredging the channel, and opening tributaries. Similar work is under way in the Hwai River Valley as a part of the conservancy...”

“...by the large landholdings of certain of the temples and monasteries. In this respect the situation is somewhat like that prevailing in England in the sixteenth century and more recently in Russia and Mexico. A just and equitable solution of the problem involved here- in constitutes a real challenge to the leaders of the Party and the Government. The question of the taxation of prop- erty that is used for religious purposes is also one that will have to be settled. At present such property in China, as in the West, is usually exempt from taxation. Whether this policy will continue or whether it will be changed, time only will tell. The Government would, of course, be quite within its rights in taxing property used for religious pur- poses if it desired to do so. , We have now completed our study of the Tradit^n1^ attitude of the Party towards religion^ We Liberal have seen that the Kuomintang tradition is essentially liberal, favoring religious freedom. For a time this liberalism was obscured...”

“...religious toleration 91 religion, if it be of a worthy and vital sort, will not merely be tolerated, but will indeed be positively welcomed by discerning spirits as an ally in the building up of the New China. Mistrust may linger, and indifference will continue, but as of old, those who have 4'ears to hear" will hear. Church and State will be separate, as religion and education are likely to continue largely to be, but freedom of belief, coupled with the other great rights of assembly, organiza- tion, speech, press, and residence, will, when these are realized, be quite sufficient to give Christianity all the op- portunity it needs to make its contribution to the life of the nation....”

“..."Tortured China" is a book that all students of Chinese affairs will want to read. Mr. Abend, a newspaper correspondent, has collected much data regarding China and events here during the past few years. His book has not the scholarship nor the thought that went into the making of Mr. Peffer's masterly analysis and Mr. Abend cannot forego the temptation of drawing conclusions and offering patent medicines. He demands immediate and effective foreign intervention, which long ago faded out of the realm of possibilities. Civil Code year was rotable for the publication in English of the lengthy civil code of the Republic of China, which has been ably translated by three Chinese legal experts, Dr. C. L. Hsia, Mr. James L. E. Chow and Mr. Yukon Chang. It consists of trans- lations of three books, General Principales, Obligations, and Rights Over Things, the body of law drafted for and adopted by the National Government in its strenuous efforts to secure the abolition of extrality in China. Published...”

“...fiction 405 It is "Treaties with and Concerning China 1919-1929." This book forms a supplement to the standard work on treaties with and concerning China by Mr. J. van A. MacMurray, lately United States Minister to China. Finances Anancia^y minded the Bank of China has compiled a useful little book in "Chinese Government Loan Issues and Foreign Obliga- tions." It contains all the information that can be required-about this involved and complicated subject. Sun Yat-sen "The Legacy of Sun Yat-sen," is a history of the Chinese revolution by a German. It records the facts with the accuracy, lucidity and impar- tiality of a detached student of international affairs. "The Sino-Foreign Treaties of 1928"'contain the various treaties Dr. C. T. Wang negotiated that year with foreign powers upon a basis of equality. It forms a mile-stone along the road that leads us towards the relinquishment of extrality rights in China. In "The Restless Pacific," Mr. Nicholas Problems Roosevelt has written a timely...”
