Its 850 pages: cover the whole field of political, financial and commercial activities in easy reference form, and makes its absence a defnite handicap as much to the small trader as to the diplomat. Very little of the contents of this edition has appeared in previous lases. In the current issue, among other important documents, will be found:
The Hajchman Report -- Draft Permanent Constitution Banking Laws
Manchurian Raliwaya Sino-Japanese Issues
Price $20
Postage China 50 ctu. Hongkong-89 ctu,
Abroad -$2.0
and special articles on currency, communications, cost of living, trade prospects and statistics: the Chinese Government, public Justice, telegraph, telephone and postal Information, and a Who of nearly a thousand prominent Chinese personalities.
The China Year Book is not written by one man, but by number of the principal Foreign and Chinese authorities on the various subjects dealt with. Aming them are:
-Father Cherali The Climate of China
