CHINA IS WELL OFF
IN NATURAL WEALTH
Celestial Students Say Native
Country Suffered Through
Bad Manchu Rule.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13-China is yet
destined TO play a large part in the
worlds affairs, despite the present
gloomy outlook, according to the now
publication of the New York Chinese
Students club. In the view OF the
members OF this club, which has its
home at No. 225 East Thirty-first-st.,
China has fallen behind In the keen
contest of nations not because she Is
lacking in wealth or resources, but
because OF weak government given
the country by the Manchus.
In spite of China's weakness, says
the students publication, The Annual,
her loyal and thoughtful sons are
consoled in their grief by the UNI
doubted fact that she possesses all
the possibilities OF becoming one or
the greatest powers on earth. Ii is
doubtless true that there are some
of us who have entirely lost sight OF
this fact and have plunged ourselves
into undue misery by believing China
to be a total wreck, with nothing at
all worthy of due estimation"
While China is in the throes OF a
devastating civil war, with no one
able to say whether ii will remain
under the dominion OF the Manchus
or become a republic, constructed by
Or. Sun and WI Ting-Fang on the
lines Of the United States, the edi-
tors of The Annual point with pride
to the resources of their great coun-
try. They declare that il needs only
reasonably good government to make
IL one OF the great powers OF modern
times.
"As 10 her natural resources" de-
clare they, China has no equal. Her
mineral supplies seem TO be practic-
ally ineXhaustible. Coal and iron,
twin pillars of modern industry, ex-
list in quantities unsurpassed by any
country The coal-bearing areas alone
nave been estimated at $4,000 square
miles. This statement may seem to
be exaggerated. but, nevertheless, II
one will investigate, one will find II 10
be a solid fact. Baron Richtofen, a
German, after a laborious investiga.
ton, submitted to the German gov
eminent a report OF the coal and iron
resources OF China. showing that they
are the finest in the world. In the
province OF Shansi alone, he reported,
enough coal 10 supply the who're nu-
man race several thousand years. BE.
sides these coal and iron supplies,
there are mines Of precious stones,
gold, silver, nickel, and copper, 10 be
found everywhere in the empire
lowing to her rich soil and salubri-
GUS climate, China's agricultural pro-
auctions are as plentiful and excel
lent in quality as her mineral re-
sources 80 wonder the great pow
ers of Europe have been so long
straining their nerves TO the utmost
to obtain a foothold within the Chi.
iese empire Fortunately, we are pro
foundly aware Of this fact. With this
knowledge we will strive TO develop
our country by developing all that
makes for her strength and great
ness"
A very high order OF intelligence is
claimed for the Chinese people as a
class. and the standing taken by Chi

D|CKERSON URGES
GOVERNMENT HELP
IN SELLING FRUIT
Delta, Colo,
Dec. 6, 1912.

Dec. u, l9lG.
Grand Junction Sentinel:
There has been given an account
of an Ontario fruit grower who re
ceivcd 75c for barrel of apples, and
a consumer bought the same barrel
for s5.25. Who got the amount over
zoe? Was ii right he should have
it? Answering the last question,
say II is not right that such pCrmissa-
Bile conditions should exist.
As to the first question: It is evi-
dent that the grower in Ontario and
the consumer in Winnipeg were not
in communication with each other
prior to the time the barrel reached
the consumer in Winnipeg. The fruit
growers have been striving for many
years to deal directly with the con
sumer. The time Is too short and
the fruit too perishablc to admit of
this without greater expense than
any one grower can stand. The
growers have the right objects in
view, but how to accomplish ii is a
hard question, u.
Each fruit grower in an early day
tried to beat every other fruit grower
in FINDING the market and rush his
truit to that market. This method
was disastrous several years ago as
well as impracticable. Then they
formed fruit growers associations
and these associations relieved the
situation for a number of years. The
increase in the production of fruit
has led the association to sharp com
petition, compelled them to search
for wider field of market. and their
effort will be, il not, have been. un-
successful. The associations have
been of great help to ;hc growers.
but no association short of a national
association, through whose hands all
the fruit must pass, can be successful
| doubt If IL Is practicable to organize
a national association. Then, too,
such an organization might under
take to dictate prices and become an
offender against the federal statutes
| have this to suggest: The agri-
cultural department at Washington,
usually compile statistics as to
amount of SOME crops about to be
harvested. Let this department com
pile estimates showing about what
quantity the crop is on all perishable
produce and also get the amount of
each kind Of perishable produce con-
surgcd in each section of the Coun-
try, and tneu let this department
take charge of all shipments and CON
signments. collections. deduct costs,
apportion and remit the proceeds
This would not only bring the pro-
ducer and consumer directly together
or nearly and thus partially solvc
the problem of the high cost of liv-
ing" and high cost of marketing. but
would also save glut in the market
in some places and scarcity in other
( places. The sharp competition in
marketing would be dispensed with,
| as well as many other evils existing
/ between producer and consumer.
| What have said in view of market
/ ing perishable produce might be ad-
vocated for all production however
that may be, lei us solve the more ur-
gent needs, Production and con
sumption of more rorishablc = pro
ducc."
