The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1938-10-31


| WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Sev-
en- years of bitter, intermittent
warfare have put Japan in a po-
fsition to take a half nelson on
struggling China. But don't jump
at conclusions-yet.
| Here is a. thumbnail survey of
what it all means, dating back to
the 1881 push into Manchuria:
1.-The japanese army and
navy has established tenuous
control of a 1500-mile reach along
! the rich coastal plan of eastern
Asia. from Hong Kong on the
south almost to VladivoStok on
! the north.
! 2.-On a map, the territory
now under the nominal influ-
ence of the Japanese looks like
two huge bites taken by some
giant, the northern chunk ex-
tending from Shantung to Siberia,
! and the southern from Canton to
! Shantung.
3.--That territory includes less
than one-quarter of China's A.
100000 square miles Gncluding
Manchukuo) but--and that is
vastly important-it covers most
of the developed wealth of China
and two-thirds of her population
of 466,000,0O0 people.
4.---Left TO China are: Tie rice
hasket. wheat basin, and tea fields
of the interior: caravan routes to
Interior Asia: one railroad link
with the outer world at Yunnan-
fu in the deep southwest; and
vast undeveloped mineral re-
sources including coal, copper and
oil.
A Three-Point Loss
Thus have Chang Kai-Shek and
his generals lost the great reserve
of power on which they
have been drawing for the arm
les they sent against the Japan
csc. Only one thickly populated
province. Szechwan, and it's So
100000 people remains outside
the Japanese sphere.
Likewise the great tranSporta-
ton arteries-the railroads and
the rixers--srs. lost IN Chang. as
well as the bulk of the nations
manufacturing resources.
Also now in the power Of the
Japanese are the customs rev
enues and most of the salt tax
money. That amounts to about
50.000, geo American dollars q
year II has been paying off sol
diers and foreign loans,
All Of this is a dreary picture
indeed. from the Chinese point of
view. but the experts tell you not
20 Jump az too many conclusions
in the next few weeks. Watch for
japanese pressure and Chinese
tricks.

CODE IS ADOPTED
Action Taken to Protect
Public Against Poor
Designs. -

For the first time in the history of
the fast-groWing conditioning in
dustry the buying public will be Of
fered definite protection against the
installation o. equipment Improperly
designed to do the Job expected OF it
or represented to perform all of the
functions of air conditioning. when in
reality only partial service will re-
suit
A code of minimum requirements
for comfort air conditioning" just
adopted by the American Society of
Heating and Ventilating Engineers
and developed jointly with the Amer
loan Society of Refrigerating Engi-
neers, has set up a uniform procedure
for establishing the fundamental basis
for th&design of comfort conditioning
installations.
Seek Standard Design.
In the making for the last two
years, its sponsors aim at establish
ing minimum design standards by
which purchasers can judge the per-
formance of equipment. While vol
untary in nature, it is hoped the code
will discourage sale of spurious ap-
paratus under the guise that it is air
conditioning.
For winter air conditioning, 70 de-
ereeS indoor temperature with 35 per
cent relative humidity, when outdoor
temperature is 80 degrees, is set as a
minimum design standard. For sum-
mer air conditioning an indoor de-
sign schedule of effective tempera-
lures (Which are index of comfort
based on combination of tempera-
ture, relative humidity and air mo-
tom is established ranging from II
degrees effective temperature" when
1t is 80 degrees outside, to 755 de-
grees effective temperature" when it
is los degrees outdoors.
The code specifies the introduction
OF outside air for ventilating purposes
at rate Of not less than 10 cubic feet
per hour per occupant, or not less
than IS cubic feet in premises where
smoking is permitted, with removal
Of 95 per cent of ordinary dust par
ticles to provide requisite air purity
Air Velocities Limited.
Air velocities which account for
drafts and are frequent cause of com.
plant in air-conditioning systems
are limited to not more than sc
linear feet per minute, according tc
the new code. Control of air tenn
peratures within degrees at the FIVE
foot level or the breathing zone" are
also specified in the code
The code is the work of a joint
committee, consisting of L. A. Harding
