Americans Offered
iongkew District

With this as a precedent, Chi
nese authorities voluntarily Of
fered Americans the Hongkew
district as their concession.
But, while the local Ameri-
cans. particularly the mission
boards. favored the project, it
was impossible to obtain the APP
prevail of Congress.
Hence the Americans had no
course except to live and con-
duct their businesses in the Brit
ish concession, VIII / c h shortly
was expanded to clude the
Hogkew area.
Later. merchants of other ma
tionalities arrived. established
their offices and demanded equal
rights with the Americans.
Since the British were unable
or unwilling to enforce compli-
ance with their demands on the
other foreigners, they followed
the well-known British custom
Of compromise.
In consequence. the govern
ment OF the area, although DOM
mated by the British, took on an
international character.
This was indicated by the
presence on the municipal
council of representatives of the
other nationalities such as the
American, German, Russian and,
later, japanese.

wars between China and Eng
land of that period.
Shanghai was then a primitive,
mud-walled town, so congested
that the foreigners had diff
Guilty in finding a place to- live
and set up their business houses.
The international settlement
was intended originally as a
purely British treaty port con-
cession, but il wasn't long before
the American: clipper ships
began sailing up the Whangpoo
River TO conduct trade in the
British area.
One of the early American
merchants, who carried letters
of greeting to the Chinese au-
thorities from the president of
the United States, was author
lied TO serve as consul.
His first action after estab-
fishing an office and home, was
to unfurl the American flag and
demand equal rights with the
British.
The French followed a, differ
ent course.
They demanded and obtained
the right TO establish their own
concession. which is still in ex.
istence, although ii is now dom.
mated by the Japanese.

Shanghai Becomes
investment Center

As these moves tended 10
strengthen the prestige Of the
new national government at
Marking, Shanghai became the
center for investment by both
foreigners and Chinese.
American firms invested in
utilities. shipping, factories and
real estate.
The Chinese showed their con-
fidence in the future of Shang-
hal by making heavy invest
ments in manufacturing enter
prises. apartment buildings and
department stores.
Fortunes were accumulated in
a comparatively brief period.
There were no taxes 10 pay
aside from IN municipal rates,
which were not high.
No one. outside of inner Toxic
circles, knows what Japan plans
for the future of Shanghai.
Several years ago n Japanese
othCtut NdN uiNdiOStu whereby
the Shanghai harbor was TO be
permitted TO silt up so that
large cargo vessels could not
enter.
In this way the Japanese
hoped to stifie the city's growth.
which they felt was detrimental
to the future Of Osaka, the large
Japanese port and manufacture
ing center.
Although millions of japanese
capital was invested in Shang-
hal cotton mills. the japanese
never were enthusiastic about
the industrial growth of the
city.
They realized that there was
nothing manufactured in Japan
which could not be manufac-
tured in Shanghai at much
lower rate, owing TO the vast

selves at the expense Of home
manufacturers due to its stra-
tegic location.
Shanghai's foreign settlement
literally was the bottleneck
through which passed more than
half of the foreign trade of
China.
The Japanese used 10 demand
equal rights with the British
owing 10 their heavy invest
ments in Shanghai cotton mills.
Now they control everything
and no interest, regardless of
how small (even the little one
room Chinese shop, escapes
their attention.
All foreign enterprises have
been taken over.
There had always been a large
body Of opinion In Japan that
opposed the industrial develop
ment of China.
This view, particularly strong
In army circles, was that China
should not be permitted 10 de-
velop industrially but should be
kept weak-but not too weak

British Maintain
Majority Control

The British always maintained
majority control, not only in the
council but also in the various
departments of municipal gov
eminent.
Originally Il was intended that
only foreigners could live in the
settlement, but this was opposed
by both the British and Ameri-
cans, who saw possibilities for
real estate development.
China, at this time. was going
through a revolutionary turmoil
known as the TAPPING Rebellion.
Fractional fighting cause
thousands of Chinese 10 seek
admission 10 the International
Settlement for protection.
The real estate men saw their
opportunity.
They built thousands OF cheap
tenement-Style dwellings which
they rented at exorbitant rates
to the refugees. ~
II was not until 1926 that the
Chinese were permitted TO have
representation on the municipal
council.
This had the effect Of break
ing down Chinese political oppo-
sition 10 the foreign-cdhtrolled
settlement.
The Chinese thought II was
onlya matter of time until they
would get complete possession
Of the area.

Hoover Developed
City's Fuel Supply

Shanghai's fuel supply came
from the coal mines of the
ChineSe-British Kailan mining
administration. which was de-
veloped by a famous American,
Herbert Hoover, when he was
young man just out of college.
That the japanese may intend
10 stifle Shanghai's future In
dustrial growth was indicated
by their action In cutting of
supplies of Kailan coke. which
came from the district between
Tfentsin and Shanahikuan and
was near the coast.
T his happened Immediately
after the beginning of the
Chinese-Japanese war in North
China in 1887,
Practically all the coal pro-
duced by the Kailan administra-
ton was diverted TO the war
industries of Japan.
When the Chinese laborers

This action had serious eff
feet in Shanghai. The price of
coal went 10 unbelievable
heights.
Large foreign and Chinese
concerns had to obtain coal
from places as far away as Indo-
China. India and even the
United States East Coast.
Vast fortunes accumulated by
