LoEHR SPEAKS oN HANDIcAPs

Lack of communications is one of the main reasons for the political division and strife in China," said Allen c. Loehr, who spent many years in the oriental empire, part of the time in the diplomatic service "China is a great big country with very few telephones, tele- graph lines and good roads.
 "Jaqan has been quick to pick up western civilization because she is g smaller country and one that can be quickly traversed from the coast. The Chinese are also handicapped by different dialects but Mobile man has de- vised a language that is doing much to over come this handicap. China is going through something of the same experience that America did after she became republic in 1776. It took us several years to become balanced nation.
