Wfy the Chinese Hated Railways

Archibald r, Coiquhoun, whose
Greater America deals illuminatinSlE
with the advance of America into the
position of world pow er, had cOnsid-
cradle experience with the Chinese in
trying to bring about railway commu-
nication between Southern China and
Burmah He thus explains their for
bidding attitude toward the extension
of railways throughout their country:
Until recent years they were bitter
lv opposed to all railway making he
said, '.and especially to the lines com
ing near their ancestral graves. This
objection is exceedingly awkward, be
cause there are graves all over the
country 1t is not like England, where
there are graveyards; any slight ris-
ing ground in China is covered with
tombs, therefore you would nave 10
go Winding about. The SITUATION now
ever, is changed to some extent nov"
as compensation is made to enable the
owners of tombs to remove them TO
some other spot"
