GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Government operation and govern

miliar American arguments against
the system are the arguments that
are used against it in Great Britain.
In the annual report of the Lothian
Coal Company, read at its late annual
meeting at Edinburgh. is the follow
ing paragraph:
Naturalization of collieries. the
coal owners believe, would be a ma
tional calamity, but on this suo)ect

terested parties. and. therefore, not
fair judges. Many coal owners. we pc
lieve. would prefer NATURALIZATION
from the purely selfish point of view,
but in condemning il they believe
they are taking a patriotic view OF
the situation. If naturalization were
carried out, there would undoubtedly
be a heavy increase in the cost OF
production, and consequently an IN
crease in the cost of production, and
consequently an increase in the sell
ing price, and we believe that present
troubles with the miners. which are
already great. would not in any way
be allayed but. on the contrary,
would be increased We have al
ready some evidence as to where
things are leading in the demand for

AMERICANS TAKE ACTIVE

A hint Of the way Americans are
entering the rubbergrowing indus
try may be seen in the address of
Arthur A. Baumann. chairman of di-
rectors of the Kapar Para Rubber Es-
tates Company, at the recent annual
meeting of shareholders in London.
In the course Of his address. outlined
in the London Times, he said:
There was only one other slightly
adverse factor from their point of
view. and that was that during the
last five years the Americans. who
are going to be our keenest COM
petitors In future. had been planting
the largest rubber estates in Suma-
ira. He was told that they had some-
thing like $4,000 acres of planted
rubber in Sumatra. and that was

TINY FEET PROVE AN OBSTACLE

airy might persuade a non Christian
friend to stop business and walk a
block to service, it is well nigh i'm
possible to persuade him to stop bust
ness and walk two miles to church.
Nor are the churches all that they
convert. Writing of Nanchang. Rev.
T. L. Sinclair, a missionary of the
Episcopal Church, gives this descrip-
ton:
Our church is a large room in a
rented building. On one side of the

The floor is brick laid in dirt; of some
parts we might truthfully say that
1t Is laid under dirt. The benches
have no backs: they are simply pieces

procured. Well, the benches are in

saves to put new benches in q new
church. II some Kind soul will give
will give church to put them in
the missionary will attend to the
rest. To make matters worse, our
church is situated on one side Of the
city. far from a number of our Chris
tians."
That's where the little feet Of
Chinese women come in-or. rather.
don't come in-but when. through the
nationwide campaign, a new church
is made possible for Nanchang the
little feet will be able to walk there.
Another Difficulty Cited.
Another diniculty in the conversion
of women In China is that. bowling to
Chinese custom. it is necessary to
have women to teach their women.
AS there is a scarcity Of workers
this is dificult. Often the Chinese
household consists of Christian hus-
band and a heather wife. OF course.

Some .of them do; some don't; some
can't.

For centuries Chinese women have
bound their feet. 1t was only a few
years ago that. through the influence
of Christian missionaries in the celes-

hibiting the practice of binding.
Future generations Of China's women
