China Progress
In Reconstruction
Shanghai, To-day. Asserting that "China has become practically in- dependent of foreign imports and can continue economically and militarily to carry on resist- ance for an indefinite period," the Chinese newspaper "Shun Pao” says that the new strength which China has gained is derived chiefly from the economic reconstruction move- ment of which Marshal Chiang Kai-shek is the chief sponsor.
Despite the Japanese invasion, China has made an unprecedented progress in the last 25 months in economic reconstruction,

BANKNOTES FOR CHINA
London, To-day. The Central Bank of China has given contracts to two British banknotes print- ers for over 1,000,000,000 notes.
Neither the exact total nor the value of the notes can be divulged.
Four hundred extra hands have been engaged to cope with one of the contracts, which will take a further
year to complete. The other contract has already been completed.
The original plates will be kept in Britain and the notes sent to China by vari- ous routes. Reuter.
PRECAUTIONS IN GIBRALTAR
Whereas previously coastal cities were the chief economic centres, they have now been removed to interior districts which were for- merly largely agricultural but have now become industrialised.
Influenced by the reconstruction movement, considerable progress has been made in the devolpment of communications in the south- western and north-western pro- vinces.
Two new .international highways have been completed, linking China with the outside world.
In Szechuan, Kweichow and Yun- nan, 472 new factories have been established and satisfactory results have been achieved in improving cotton cultivation in Szechuan and wheat cultivation in Shensi.
The Government is also active in the exploitation of mineral re- sources including gold, petroleum, coal in the provinces of Hsikang, Szechuan, and Shensi Trans- Ocean.

HOT ISN'T IT!
But you will not notice the heat so much if your digestive and ellminative organs are clean and free from any accumulation of waste matter. Pin- kettes will help you to ensure this. Any tendency to constipation should be corrected at once with a laxative dose of this ideal aperient. When there is congestion in the intestines not only do you feel the heat but you are more liable to fall prey to summer sickness. For liverishness, biliousness,
