because rs per cent of our people
are farmers. The average farm is
only 312 acres. Compare that with
the average American farm of 15C
acres, and you see why the Chinese
farmer can supply his family moth
ing beyond subsistence. China uses
140,000,000 people to till 100000, 00C
acres. The United States uses only
100000 to do the same job.
We hope first to reduce our farm
population to SO per cent. That will
increase the size of the farm and
give the farmer a better living. The
other 25 per cent we hope to move
into jobs in transportation, printing
communications, factory work-all
the shifts your Nation went through
100 years ago.
Provide Farm Credit.
We are already distributing better
seed and fertilizer to make each acre
produce more. We have set up
farm credit unions which have re-
duced the rate of interest from 100
per cent, in extreme cases, to 10 per
cent. We hope to set up farm ma
chinery centers from which farmers,
over large areas, may borrow trac-
tors, plows, harvesters-thereby aid
ing fewer men to turn out the food
the nation needs.
And, as the fewer acres do a bet
ter job turning out the food we
need, we will be able to devote more

Be Ready for Opportunity.

Be Ready for Opportunity.
The fourth edition of the 16-page
booklist, BE ready for Your Next
Opportunity" is now ready.
This edition is prepared for dis
placed war workers and for the
many men who will return to civilian
life with wider horizons before them
as they seek to put to use newly
acquired Skills and abilities devel-
oped during their military service
The list recommends recent books
on 35 subjects, from aeronautical
and marine engineering through the
mechanical trades, machine shop
and building trades, plastics, print
ing and lithography.
Five thousand copies were first
issued in March, 1882, when unem-
ployment was rife and men walked
the streets in search of Job. A
policeman who had been stopped
many times by the query, Buddy
can you tell fellow where to get a
lob?" decided to see if the public
library could help. He was supplied
with copies Of the list He returned
again and again for more copies
which he used with tangible results
The list was revised in 1898 and
again in 1898.
Copies Of the list are available at
the Central Library. Eighth and x
streets NV, or at any Of the branch
libraries.

report that Ill, 900 Nazi troops were
killed or captured in the Crimea.
A final warning to the satellite
nations to withdraw from the war
now or pay the full consequences of
defeat was issued and this warning
may bear some fruit in the days
close ahead.
Setback in China.
A really serious setback to the
Allied cause has occurred in China,
where japanese troops have been
successful in cutting the rail line
to Loyang and now threaten to cap
ture or eliminate a large force of
Chinese seeking to guard the vital
wheatfields in Honan Province,
which are about ready to be har-
vested.
Equipped with many tanks and
armored trucks and cars, the Japs
smashed across the yellow River
about 40 miles west of Loyang while
other columns moving up from the
southeast threaten to encircle the
city, which as this was written, still
had not been forced to surrender.
The enemy crossing of the river
west of Loyang also opened path
for a drive on Chungking four
passes toward which open through
the Hopa Mountains.
Planes of Maj Gen. Chennault' s
American Air Force have struck
sharply at the enemy and have
been effective in destroying num-
Der of tanks and slowing the ad-
vance. The situation, however, is
approaching the critical.
Elsewhere the war goes we'll
against the Japanese who are grow
ing apprehensive that the present
lull in naval activity may be the
pause before a campaign to gain
positions in the Kuriles. The Tokyo
radio points out the number of
large airbases which the Japs believe
have been constructed in the Aleu-
tians and the concentration of heavy
naval forces and numerous divisions
of troops and paratroopers for the
campaign which Secretary Knox
stated shortly before his death will
start at the proper time.
Islands Regularly Raided.
The constant air raids on Truk
Ponape, Oraluk and Wake Islands
which are occurring with a regu-
larity which would do credit to rail-
road schedules, the success of the
New Guinea campaign, and the
stepped-up tempo of the air attacks
on Timor and Amboina all are COM
bining to put a serious strain or
the japanese Navy and air force
which have been materially reduced
in the various actions since the
Midway battle.
In India the tide of war has def
nitely turned against the Japa-
nese, and the question now is only
whether the Allies will be able to
clear India and North Burma before
the monSoonS set in.
1t. Gen. StilWells mixed force OF
American and Chinese troops is in
a fair way to eliminating the jap
anese base at Myitkyna, which is
now caught between a force moving
from the north and the paratroop-
ers who block all contact from the
south.
In the Kohima area in India the
Allies are we'll on their way toward
the elimination of the Japs who in
vaded in an ambitious but futile eff
: fort to cut the new supply lines into
J China.

equal treaties, on which Chang
blames the growth of trouble over
opium, vice, and a general let-doWn
OF Chinese power and traditions. His
words are calm, retrospective, yet
convey forcefully the picture of
those years which produced the Chi
nese reference to foreign devils"
The book also deals at length with
the aims of Chiang's Kuomintang
government, much of which was re-
leased at the time of publication.
The general picture is of a people
progressing through military gov
eminent by means of a period of
tutelage. The ultimate government
would be based on Sunyat Sens
Three Peoples Principles" Ma
tionalism, Democracy and People
and Livelihood. He describes the
kuomintang as embracing every
one-Statists, Liberals, Communists
Anarchists.
After attainment of the three
principles of people, says Chang
land he lists nationalism first)
there must follow reconstruction in
flVe phases of humanity: Psyche
logical. ethical, sociological, political
and economic
These are Chiang's methods, some
of which sound strange to America,
but, without mentioning it by name
so far as the translation goes. he
disavoWs what is commonly known
as FaScism.
Then, to those who know Chiang's
feeling toward the British because
Of their failure to settle the Indian
question, he introduces another
prod:
THE stability of Asia is a guaran-
tee OF world peace; emancipation OF
the peoples Of Asia viii mean
freedom Of the world"

Pesacadores, the four northeastern
provinces, Inner and Outer Mon
golia, Sinkiang and Tibet are every

At another point Chang is
quoted as saying:
The territory of China up tC
100 years ago, comprising more
than 10 million square kilometers
included no area that was not es-
sential to China's existence as a
nation, no area that was not deeply
influenced by Chinese civilization

alton and save ourselves from de-

cost. They must be mutually ad-
vantageous.
Henceforth. foreign loans in
China must be above the suspicion
of political motive; they must be
subject to the same Chinese laws
and jurisdiction which govern Chi
nese money.
The Central Executive Commit
tee of Kuomintang, in September
adopted a resolution which aims at
attracting foreign investment to
China.
Formerly the law provided that
foreign capital should not be more
than 40 per cent of any joint Chi
nese-foreign enterprise. Hereafter
no fixed restriction will be placed
on the ratio of foreign capital in
vestment in any joint enterprise.
The only tariff walls China will
need will be in the light indus
tries" such as textiles, -four,
matches. etc, precisely the fields in
which Japan offered competition.
Hence, China's tariff will not con-
flict with the Western irtdustrialized
Nation whose machinery China will
certainly long need.
For export trade, before the war
China was 80 per cent dependent
on foreign firms. Postwar, the
needs for speedy establishment
Of foreign markets will be so great
that the Chinese government will
no doubt take the lead, since China
is not only debtor nation, but
hopes, for the sake of development,
to become more so, directly at the
wars end. She must therefore
stimulate her sales abroad as soon
as possible to pay off her debts.
These ideas I have discussed be-
fore American audiences often
enough to know the fears which
arise in some over the thought of
a great manufacturing power aris-
ing on the western shores of the
