The development OF resources in
China will let her pay back in time
the money for these roads. And
when China is developing. the work in
these railroads and in the big steel
industries and the mines will be per-
formed by Chinese laborers. Chi

on the trains today. Work in the
fields will train them in technique and
organization.
China's Future
NO one can safely prophecy, or
forecast the course of history for the

it is likely that the machinery OF
civilization. railroads, roads, tele-
craphs, factories, etc, will be increas-

the people will practically develop
the forces Of organization that will
ultimately blossom into a stable ma
