China's Awakening Rapid.


The point Is that as fast as China
becomes modernized American ex-
porters can sell more and more goods
there, for the United States has been
the favored nation in China ever since
the Boxer Indemnity was returned. and
American mercha-di enjoys a high
reputation. Unfortunately for the
Chinese, they have been handicapped by
two acteristics-ancestor worship
and superstition. While they have
looked backward the world has gone
on and left them hundreds OF years be-
hind. Those centuries cannot be elirnl-
mated in a few years. but China's recent
progress IS astonishing. and II seems
| reasonable TO believe that what Japan
has accomplished in the past fifty
years China can accomplish In the next
few decades.
A firm in Hongkong tried TO introduce
gas motors among the owners OF fish
| ing boats or junks in tho tributary
waters. Some fishermen were favorably
| impressed with the idea and went sc
] far as to order a few, but backed out
at the last moment, claiming that the
| installation Of this modern equipment
would result In bad joss" since theiI
fathers had never used motor power on
their fishing junks. This superstition
| can be overcome by the use OF proper
ethods, for the Chinese are primarily
| utilitarians, and It is simply a case OF
demonstrating to their satisfaction thai
efficiency will overbalance any possible
| hoodoo.
