LAS MURALLAS CHINAS

Habfa de ser, sin embargo, la
tarea de otro progresista gober-
mantle ell completar la obra tai
como ahora Sc encuentra. FL en-
perador K'ang Hsi, de la dinas-
tia Ching pidi6 a un grande Y
buen jesufta, Ell padre Verbiest
que sirvieee como aStr6nomo de
la corte. Fl padre Verbiest, re-
nombrado hombre de ciencia,
insisti6 en- rue debfan instalar-
sc nuevos Instruments astre-
n6micos, construidos con ARE
Clio a los dltimos adelantos, pa
ra Ell antique observatory. e
Hos Sc yerguen hoy para delei-
tar los ojos de los amantes de la
belleza. En- una eiudad rep'eta
de tesoros de arte, los instru-
mentos de Verbiest Sc destacan
por su dignidad y su sentido ar
tistico. Decoradas con dragones
exquisitamente disehadas Y per
fectamente moldeadas, esas o.
bras de arte han resistido tres
siglos de tormentas de arena del
desierto de Cobb, ademas de las
.heladas del invierno y los calo-
res del verano.
Las murallas de Marking,
por otra parte, no tienen domi-
nantes baluartes nj inaprecia-
bles obras de arte. Sin embargo,
tienen una rGstica belleza Y una
imprecionante solidaridad que
lie es propia. Son 1nicas en- aque
10 de que son las mas largas mi
rallas de una ciudad en- China.
En- ell siglo catorce, uno de los
emperadores Ming ensanch6 las
murallas para incluir una vasta
area hacia ell norte y hacia el
oeste. Esta ciudad china es, por
consiguiente, mas alberta y aso-
leada que la mayorfa de las ciu-
dades amuralladas.
FL poderoso Yangtze CORE

Has, el rio tiene una milla de an
chO en- csc lugar. Fuera de las
murallas eStuvo en- un tempo la
pagOda entire las pagodas, ente-
ramente fabricada de brillante
porcelana. No fue construida EN-
honor de I'm dios nj de un heroe,
sino como una muestra de apre-
clio a la espOsa del constructor.
Fue despiadadamente destruida
durante la rebellion Tai Ping, pc

fragmentos de porcelana del lu-
gar. La pagoda de porcelana te-
MIA una eScalera de noventa es-
calones por la cual sc ascendfa
a su altura de 260 pies. Estaba
completamente construida con
brillantes tejas blancas, amari-
Has, rojas Y verdes. De las cur

gaban ciento cincuenta campa-
mas de suaves woes para delei-
tar el dido mientras los ojos MI
raban maravillados hRcia esa
inds5criptibbmente bella crea-
ci6n del hombre.
En- direction opuesta al sitio
donde estuvo la pagoda Sc eleva
Ia enveiecida montana de pdr-
.pura, centinela silencioso de los
siglos. Que horrores podria con-

La mayor de tcdas las mufa-
las es, per supuesto, la gran mu
ralla de China. Es la mas asom-
broSa de las siete maravillas del
mundo. Esa estupenda construc
ci6n es la 1nica cosa hecha por
ell hombre que podria ser distin-
puida derde Ia luna por ell ojo
humane. Es ell mas immense
proyecto de obras pGblicas in
tentado alguna vez por un go
bernante. Su construction obi
90 a TRAFALGAR a 100000 de
hcmbres hace veinte siglos. E
sa. la mayor de todas las tareas
de construction, fue completada
en- ell termino de una decade,
que fue ell tempo prefijado.
Su constructor, ell emperador
Chin Shih Hwang, no permiti6
huelgas sentadas nj abandono
del trabajo. f. contrato colec-
two de trabajo y los gremios o.
obreros eran palabras que no
existieron en- ell vocabulario del
viejo tirano. Alquellos que sugi-
rieron la convenience de mas
cortas horas de trabajo y ma
yor paga fueron sin mas cere-
monia arrojados bajo los cimien
tos de la maciza construction.
Decenas de miles pe%recieron de
csc mode. AGn en- la actualidad,
la gran muralla es mirada como
un simbolo de OPPRESSION mas
bien que como una barrera pro-
tectora.
A menos que los actuales IN
vasores de China las hayan des.
piadadamente destruido, hay in
~numerables otras murallas en- a.
quel sufrido pals, que no inspi-
ran tan amargos p~ensamientos
como la gran murala. Son las
atractivas y menos conocidas
murallas de las ciudades que ro-
dean a innumerables caserios
grandes Y pequehos. Especial
mente i~nOlvidables para todos
aquellos que han vividO bajo su
sombra protectora son las mu-
rallas de Peiping y Marking.
Las murallas de Peiping sor
Gnicas por su maciza c~onstruc'
ci6n y pOr la altura de sus ba-
luartes. Algunos de estos Sc le'
vantan a Glen pies pOr encima
del suelo. Las murallas exterio-
res de la vieja capital rodean a
cuatro ~separadas ciudades anu.
ralladas. La mas famOSa de es,
tas ciudades dentro de una mu-
ralla es la ciudad prOhibi1a con
sus tesoros de arte Y su arqui-
tectura lena de distinction.
BESIDE tan temprana epoca CO
mo Ell siglo trece, Marco Polo

devices have been made. They
are operating better than they
were when the issue was being
fought here.
Also, there has been more time
in which to study the revenue
benefits from use of parking
meters in other states. Many re-
ports have been issued. some OF
them sponsored by manufacturers
and colored TO a certain extent as
result.
There have been some I'M
biased Studies and reports.
City organizations have made
their own studies. and In most
Instances have reported favor
ably on parking meters"
II such bill is sponsored by the
association. Swsyze said. ii will
have the effect of clearing the
decks for legislative action to
permit municipalities to install
meters IL they wish.
The Seattle councilman contends
that the delay is costing cities
heavy sums in badly needed
revenues.

Always backward in those
things which make for national
unity and understanding - the
press. radio. telegraph, tele-
phone. good roads. etc the PEG
plies under German control now
lack access TO exchange Of IN
formation and comforting mes
sages. Their newspapers are
filled with Hitlers propaganda.
Telephones and kilograms are
rigidly censored and restricted.
The radio blares out only what
the invaders want them TO hear.
There are hardly any automo-
biles. trucks or wagons for civil
ian use. They cannot move from
one town TO another without
permission. Food Is scarce, but
the lack OF n distribution system
makes this problem even more
severe.
Families cannot ascertain
whether missing members are
dead or alive, or communicate
with them. The French. Belgians.
Dutch and Czechs can obtain no
authentic news Of the outside
world only a series Of reports
OF Hitler victories from the Bal
tic TO the Adriatic. Naturally.
they are beginning to feel that
they are orphans OF the human
family. Such a sentiment -espe-
oially when they have been strip
ped Of weapons provides poor
soil for winter revolts freely

mats warn.
The problem OF American agri-
culture as aggravated by the
war has become far more acute
than officials at Washington
