forth of all possible efforts to re- vive the export trade, which has fallen off to a serious extent. As a means of this end they advocate lower cost of production and better workmanship; but to what extent do they assist in the attainment of this desirable result? Their policy has generally been directed to the main- tenance of prices at a level which will save from loss those gamblers and profiteers who were not able to dispose of their holdings when the crash came in 1920.
 TARIFF CONSIDERED
 Calls for upward revisions of the customs tariff have been sympa- thetically considered, and combina- tions of manufacturers, with the ob- iect of restricting output and main
 taining prices, have received official! support in many instances. When we find the government so actively interested in preventing any decline in probability of an early recovery of prices it is eXcusable to lose faith in those foreign markets into which Japanese goods penetrated during the

 Manufacturers appear to find it impossible to realize that the excep- tional advantages which they en- joyed during the war exist no long CT and to grasp the fundamental idea that only by readjustment of their business methods can they hope to retain any of the ground gained dur ing the boom period.

CHINESE ARMY GENERAL NOW
 IS CHRISTIAN

PAOTINGFU, July 10.-Interested in Christianity because of the cour- age displayed by the American mis- sionaries martyred at Paotingfu dur ing the Boxer war, converted during meetings held by Dr. John Feng Yu Hsiang, famous throughout the Far East as "the Christian General per haps is the most spectacular figure in the civil war which is sweeping China,
 General Feng Yu Hsiang is the pow erful military governor (tuchun) of Shensi Province In response to call for General Wu Pei-fu, General Feng left his duties in Shensi and, with thir- ty-five thousand picked men, made an eight-day forced march to reinforce Wu's armies.
 The arrival of "the Christian Gen. eral' at the front strengthened great 1y the morale of Wus soldiers, as the Chinese regard General Feng as Ca miracle man."
 While Wu Pei-fu's soldiers chant fiercely and as if in frenzy the stirring marching songs written by General Wu, Feng's men shortened the long march through the hills by singing "Onward, Christian Soldiers!" and around camp the familiar old hymns mingle with the shrill, cracked blasts of the Chinese bugle calls.
 INSTRUCTED FROM BIBLE
 For all of Generela Feng's soldiers receive daily Bible instruction, and many thousands of his men are bap- tized Christians.
 In 1900, when General Feng was a student at the Paotingfu Military uni versity, the Boxer war was at it's height Joining the frenzied mobs of Boxers who were determined to kill the foreign" missionaries and Chinese Christians in the city, Feng watched with great surprise the tremendous courage displayed by the mis- sionaries.
 q remember hearing the men and women of the American Board Mis- sion (Congregational the Presbyterian Mission and the China Inland Mission pleading with the mobs for their lives, for their little children and for the Chinese Christians" said General Feng.
 "When they found their pleas were in vain they united in prayer and went to their deaths-some were beheaded, others cruelty burned and other others strangled with silken cords with a fortitude which I have remem- bered all my life"
 Because of the influence of Chris tianity, General Feng has transformed the lives of his soldiers. One of the greatest dangers in a community in China is when unpaid, angry soldiers desert, become bandits and prey upon the villages for livelihood. General Feng is teaching his men trades, so that if they leave the army they are equipped to earn an honest living.
 Soldiers work in his factories, where socks for army use are made on the knitting machines, where there are looms galore for weaving cloth where soap is manufactured, where rattan chair making is an important industry.
 He has established the first chapel in an army camp in China and opened the first little church in Chinesa prison. His soldiers are educated All gambling dens in the vicinity of his barracks in Shensi and theaters are closed, and the buildings turne1 into schools, workshops and preaching halls. The opium and morphia dens are closed and a refuge established for drug fiends. He is a nationwide leader in the fight against opium in China.
