For the past operation year, the
government has received from the con-
.cessions a net income of IL million
rubles 90 millions of this total was
derived from mixed trading compan-
ies). About 10000 workmen are en-
ployed in the concession enterprises.
The mixed trading companies, as
we'll as the industrial and transporta-
ton concessions, which are yielding
the largest profits, have apparently
proved to be the more advantageous
for the foreign capitalists.
Steady Flow Of Capital.
There is a steady flow of private
capital noticeable into the commercial
business, the last reports concerning

ing role of private capital in trade.

from this statement we are supposed
to believe the workers in that happy

high wages and are happy indeed.
Then we turn to the wage scale as
shown in page seven of the same docu-

for their happiness:
Carpenters, 40 cents per hour.

Apropos of hitting Winthrop hill
either consciously or sub-consciously,
some of our older citizens will re-
