War Is an Old Story.
In Peiping, the most magnifi-
cent city in China. where Marco
Polo once visited Kubla Khan, a
famous Confucian scholar took
this outlook on China's present
problems. The replacement of a
disintegrating regime by con-
ouerors from the north is not a
new phenomenon. In her long
history China has been at war two
out of every three years. so that a
state of war in China is more OF
less a normal state of affairs. Her
conquerors have ruled her for as
long as three centuries at a time,
but eventually she has absorbed
her conquerors. Why shouldn't
this happen again?
Perhaps the most interesting
thing that DR.. Peterson saw in
Peiping from an economists point
of view is its coal hill, an out
standing example of the worlds
stockpiling of materials today for
future emergencies. Some 500
years ago an Emperor of the Ming
dynasty had the coal brought 600
miles from Manchuria and piled

superb stockpiling job done by the
long-ago Ming Emperor. Similar
in nature are the gold and silver
lined water vats in Peiping fol

constructed in the dim past.

tional Economic Board in Korea.
"The population of South Korea
for instance, has increased one
third in the last 10 years" he told
me. This is partly through re-
patriation from the Asiatic area
and the influx of refugees from
Communist dominated N or t h
Korea.
The outlook in Korea is not a
happy one, in DR.. Peterson's opin-
ion. To begin with. he considers
the division of this little country,
which is approximately the size OF
Kansas, as most unfortunate. The
densely populated area of the south
is cut off from the heavy industries
and mineral resources of North
