Improved Situation
In China Is Shown
By Nelson S Report
By ]. A Fox

Donald M. Nelson, former head
OF the War Production Board,
who has been working for sew
eral months on a program to-
step up China's war production,
told President Roosevelt the sit
uation in China is improving
both from military and economic
standpoints, in a report released
at the White House today.
"China's government is now
throwing its weight into the job of
winning the war;" Mr. Nelson said
in recounting developments in con-
nection with his mission for the
President in November, when he
took a group of technical experts
into China and established a war
production board there modelled
after the agency in this country.
The 1945 schedule of the Chi
nese WPB for production of key
items is double the program pre-
viouslyy prepared by China's ord
nance department, and increased
production rates will be felt within
the next few weeks on the fighting
fronts of China" he said. He added
that by spring, war production
should be doubling the November
rate.
Mr.. Nelson's November trip was
the second he made to China within
80 days, and the report indicated
he would continue to keep his finger
on affairs there.
Conditions improved within that
60-day period, he said, explaining
further that the appointment of
Maj. Gen. Albert c. Wedemeyer as
chief of staff to Chang Kai-shek
and of Maj. Gen. Patrick j. Hurley,
as Ambassador, together with the
assignment OF the production mis-
sion had paved the way for a num-
Der of Significant measures"
In addition to the establishment
OF the War Production Board, Mr..
Nelson said, "active steps were taken
to check the Japanese advance" He
also listed these accomplishments
An American technical mission
has begun work;
War production requirements have
been financed by Chinese banks;
Additional transportation facili-
ties have been allocated to China;
Shifts were made in the Chinese
cabinet with view to strengthening
the war effort;
Moves have been made to bolster
Chinese civilian morale.
Increased and co-ordinated pro-
auction, plus improved transporta-
ton, will make itself felt in an ac-
cession of strength to the entire
Chinese economy, Mr.. Nelson said,
adding that this trend will do more
than any amount of propaganda to
raise the morale of the Chinese peo-
pie and hearten them for sus-
tanned and intensified war effort"
In his discussions with Chinese
leaders, Mr.. Nelson explained, post
war questions were put aside by
mutual agreement" He, however,
expressed the conviction that "the
success of China's venture in
planned war production, if properly
followed up through American Gov
ernment and business channels, will
make for closer postwar economic
relations between China and the
United States"
China" he continued, has the
capacity and desire to develop her
self industrially with American aid.
If that aid is realistically planned,
and if financial arrangements are
put on a sound basis, China should
soon after the war begin to replace
Japan as the leading industrial ma
ton of the ORIENT

Uncle Roy's Corner

The first railway locomotive which
exploded during service was known
as 1.-The Best Friend of Charleston "
The tracks on which that locomotive
ran were laid in 1880, and pioneer
passenger" were carried through
South Carolina for several months
before the explosion.
On June day in 1881, a Negro
fireman was bothered by the sound
of steam escaping from the safety
valve. To stop the sound, he sat
on a lever which held down the
valve. Soon there came an explo-
sion which caused injury to the
engineer, the fireman and two other
persons.
That great pioneer railroad went
on with its work after the accident
Special safety measures were adopt
ed for the future, including a speed
limit of Is miles an hour.
| Larger and stronger locomotive:
were built. BY 1850, it was COM
mon for them to pull trains at 9
speed from Is to 80 miles an hour
Some made hourly speeds of IS OF
40 miles.
With those speeds, there were
many accidents. Sometimes train
jumped the tracks at a curve ano
plunged over a steep cliff, with the
loss of scores of lives. In one case,
two trains in the State of New York
were passing over a bridge at the
same time. They did not collide
but their weight was enough to
make the bridge collapse.
There was public outcry against
the loss of life in railway accidents
