Speeding Up Chinese River Transport

through Dutch traders, history records
that japanese stripped the bells from
their temples to recast into cannon to
defend their shores, and that they in
creased coastal defenses otherwise In
this war the Japanese salvaged scrap
from the bombed ruins of their modern
buildings to supply munitions.
The invasion path, until now, has fol-
lowed that which Commodore Perry
mapped out. for he, too, visited Okinawa
first, with single side trip to the Bonins,
before heading for Tokyo. Okinawa then
was known as Great Lew Chew Island, a
dependency of Japan. Its capital was
Napha (now the ruined city of Naha)
Perry had picked it for an auxiliary
base In the event that negotiations for
ports in Japan fell through. He was
attracted by the strange customs of
the Okinawans, particularly their burial
rites and beliefs and wrote extensively
of that part of his trip
Presidential Messages
Commodore Perry carried with him a
personal message from President Mil
lard Fillmore, addressed to the En-
peror of Japan and expressing hopes
for happy associations and mutually
beneficial trade. The japanese lately
heard from President Harry S Truman,
whose warnings to surrender were
dropped in leafet form by the millions,
through the medium of B-29s.
Perry's approach to Tokyo was eau
tious. He had four men-of-war, the
first steamships that the japanese had
seen. When 27 miles from the city
in Yedo (Toky0 Bay. he halted to
take soundings and was surrounded by
Japanese rowboats. Some of the rowers
tried to board him. He recalled that
pixies, cutlasses and pistols checked
them and they eventually desisted." He
did not mention whether there might
have been few sore heads and smashed
fingers when the Japs swarmed up the
anchor chains only to be repelled.
Once when party in a small boat
was out taking soundings, it approached
shore and observed excited Japanese

The preinvasion feet movement is
only one of many'parallels to be drawn
from the span of association with Japan,
which dates from the memorable time in
1883 that Commodore Matthew Calbraith
Perry broke two-century tradition to
establish trade relations with a nation
which had excluded commerce and con-
sequently progress, in an isolalated ex-
istence. There also was the matter
of stopping the Imprisonment of Ameri-
can seamen, who were shipwrecked on
the isles.

were astonished TO see them break for

Perry kept his decks cleared for
action, his guns loaded and men at
battle stations, provided with small

war and arms that won him an audience
with two Japanese princes and led to
the eventual conclusion of trade pact

BILE the efficiency of the sampan opera
tions. 1t is not an uncommon sight to
see whole feet of sampans pulled along
by one powered craft at speed and ease
that set the old rivermen to wagging
their heads in wonder.
A typical operation is that supervised
by Capt. Chang L. Hum of Dover, Tenn,
who gathers rice from a hundred mile
area and ships it by sampan to a river
station, where SOS trucks pick it up and
carry it to Chinese troops at the front.
Upstream Hauls
Sampans lacking motor power make
about 20 miles daily downstream, and it
is principally on the upstream hauls that
power is needed to relieve the sweating
effort of the coolies on the towpaths.
Payloads are carried both ways rice bags
going one direction and cement, anti
mony and other vital cargoes the other.
The kiang-jen, who have been issued
sos license plates" to help with the
bookkeeping, get $4,000 (Chinese) per
ton for the more difficult upstream haul
and $4,000 (Chinese) for downstream
cargoes. At the subsidized official rate it
takes only 40 Chinese dollars to equal
one American dollar, but black market
rates have topped 1000 to in several
citi,s of Free China

Georgetown Pioneer
Robert Peter, who was substantially
Georgetown's pioneer businessman, was
born in Scotland in l726 and came to
Georgetown shortly after he had at
tained his majority, and in 1852 en-
barked upon what proved to be a sue
cessful business career begun in Robert
Peters Rock Creek store One au-
thority gives the names of his sons as
Thomas, Robert, David, George, Sandy
and James, for whom the senior MI
Peter erected six three-story brick
houses on K street in groups of two
each prior to 1900.
One group, which stood at the corner
of Twenty-fourth street, was destroyed
by fire while it was still incompleted.
A second group was midway the block
between Twenty fifth and Twenty-sixth

two which stood between Twenty-sixth

2 months old the'young rabbits are ready
for the pan. At this age New Zealand

The bones are small and there is more
meat on a rabbit than on a chicken of
the same weight.
Dealers Buy Fur
Domestic rabbits are clean, healthy
animals and with reasonable care have
very few illnesses. Tularemia, the
scourge of wild rabbits and other game
is unknown among them Colds can
be avoided by constructing the hutches
SO that chilling drafts can be prevented
in cold weather and by providing
warm cover for the doe when she has
robbed herself of fur to make the
babies blanket. With enough good
food and clean hutches your rabbits
will seldom need doctor.
Two by-products of the backyard
rabbitry appreciably reduce the cost of
the meat table. The droppings are
similar in composition to sheep manure
and ideal for your garden. The skins
can be sold to dealers or made into
beautiful garments. We now have
nearly enough skins to send to the
tanner. When they come back soft and
pliable furrier will make them into a
lovely cape.

When the 100 was asked whether he

young rabbits may be broiled or fried.
Older rabbits require longer, slower
methods Of cooking, but they are excel
lent fricassed, stewed, en- casserole or
when cooked by any other method used
for the less tender cuts Of meat.
They can be prepared in 50 many
different ways that q delightful variety

A large industrial construction program may be expected in this area, is the view recently expressed by Percy E. Benjamin, the New Haven railroads industrial develop ment manager, because of the un- precedented number of requests for factory space being received now, as against five years ago when an inquirer couold be given from five to ten different choices of To- cations.
 A number of different manufac- turers are looking for land to build on, which is also a new departure The railroad executive also believes that all manufacturing space used here for war production will be taken over for civilian uses. That means that New England can look forward with confidence to the fu- ture, and whenever we get around to settling our domestic troubles and reconvert, New England may well pass the largest civilian pro- duction and employment on record.

IS THE ARMY BOARDING
 PHYSICIANS?
(NeW York Sun)


 Though the War Department re- ported in a recent letter to Senator Reed of Kansas that it plans to re- lease 13,0O0 physicians, 25,000 nurses and $500 dentists from the Army by July 1, 1946, it's recent record does not seem to guarantee performance. In the same letter, in answer to a request for information, it was said that on January l, 1945, there were 45,511 physicians in the Army and on September 1 last there were 46,- or The number of dentists declin- ed slightly from Is, ,103 at the start of the year to 14,583 on September l. During the period covered by Senator Reeds inquiry many com munities felt the lack of qualified physicians even more severely than earlier, for some of the older phy- sicians who had continued in har- ness died and others were compelled to quit practicing because of fail- ing health. At the same time many physicians in Army uniform have complained of little or no opportun- ity to use or improve their profess sional skill.
 The figures given to Senator Reed are already six weeks old and it may be that the War Department in the interval has improved on its previous performance. Though this may be considered only part of the general demobilization problem, the release of skilled physicians not needed by the Army has more than individual significance. Hundreds of American cities and towns could testify that this is a community problem.
