One Of the greatest aids to commerce
in China is the building of railroads. The
country that will be opened up by the
Szechwan-Hankow line is an empire in
itself. The primitive transportation meth
DDS still utilized in the greater part of
China hamper trade. and both natives
and foreigners are anxious to secure more
up-to-date transportation facilities.
