Shanghai, Oct. '. - (NEA = China's economic system is deac today. It was killed when Russia destroyed ready-made and goint industrial empire in Manchuria and now the economic transfusion! being pumped into China in tn, form of international credits by tn, US. and other nations are lik, water in a sieve.
 Possession of Manchurian install. lations in the heart of some of tn, most fertile lana In Asia would have made China prime industria power in the Far East, would have given her the industrial tools to re. pair the ravageS of war, and woulc have furnished food for her starv. ing millions.
 Russia's well-publicized stripping of Manchuria wiped out all these possibilities. But the Soviet actior was not done, as many people think because Russia wanted the mach. inery of Manchuria's thousands o1 factories for herself as war booty Russia coldly brutally and efficient ly destroyed the -billion-d dollars worth of industrial and military in- stallations to prevent them iron falling intact into Chinese hands.
 Ch1na's top business experts = both foreign and native - see thi! as the blow that collapsed an al. ready tottering economic struc ture. The few remnants of hop, that remained when the Russian got through were inferred witt the rest of the ruins when tn, Nationalist and Communist fac tions of China insisted on pursu ing their own designs. In the civi war that resulted, railways ant communications were destroyed and internal trade became impos sible.
 The hundreds of millions of dol lars in international credits UN.R.RA. supplies and surplu! military equipment that America and other nations poured into China in an effort to bring hel economy back to life did nothing more than enable the Nationa government to maintain it's huge armies engaged in fratricidal civi war ana feed enormous black market rings.
 The notifications are spread over the length and breadth of China and reach into every level of hel civil and official life. To maintain the fiction that an economic system really exists, China's printing presse! crank out paper money as fast a! they can turn. But no one in China believes it is money. Businessmen and private citizens alike regard il as "hot paper" to be converted int< gold or American dollars as fast a. lit accumulates.
 A fine example of this occurred when the Chinese dollar was agair officially devalued on Aug. 19. Int new rate -$3 ,350 Chinese to $1 U. s was 40 percent depreciation o1 the Chinese dollar; it brought its inevitable reaction in the form of g 50 percent rise in commodity prices
 Both foreign and Chinese busi- ness concerns are unable to cope with the cratic and worthless Chinese dollar and the hundreds o1 bewildering, squeeze inspired reg ulations attendant on doing busi- ness in China. Most of them are either closing out entirely or mov- ing their headquarters to Hong Kong, leaving only branch offices ir China.

 love the story about what hap pened to Dane Clark-a recent Hollywood night club incident. Seems that while Clark was hav- ing dinner at the club, his waiter slipped, lost his balance, and spilled a cup of soup on the actors coat. Dane removed the coat and the apologetic waiter took it to the kitchen for repairs. Now up to that point, the victim of the accident, although inwardly irked, still man. aged to keep a smile on his face. But the smile faded when the head waiter, spying him in his short sleeves, strode to his table and said I'm sorry, sir, but must ask you to leave. We can't permit you to dine here without a coat!"
