1t is said that blessings sometimes come

realized by China if the treaty OF peace

provides for the opening of China to for

stated by the few who have Travelled
through the interior of the empire that
it EN- braces some of the most fertile soil
IN the world, while the population, though
large in the cities, is comparatively small
in the country districts. China's princi-
al products are oil the staple character
and there is little trouble finding mar
ket for all she produces. Within the con-
fines OF this vast empire is population
of over 400, 600, 600. With the assistance of
outside capital and the developing power
OF modern European and American ma
chinery, the producing power of this
country would be something enormous.
