AMERICAN CENSUS
China, one of the most industrially backward coun- trios in the world, is now taking the,first halt- ing steps toward a State-controlled indus- trialisation programme designed to lead oven- tually to the manufacture of cars and ma- china-tools.
The country's Communist planners are the first to admit that a great deal of water must yet flow under the bridge before any such state of affairs is achieved.
Nevertheless a starting point for introducing planning in China does exist, according to the official New China News Agency, and "planning prin- ciples are being used for the

ECONOMY
STABLE
The war in Korea has had little or no effect on the economy of Red China, ac- cording to a trusted informant writing from behind the Bam- boo Curtain.
"This,” the Informant adds, “re- presents great difference from the former KMT regime when prices were at the mercy of every whisper or rumour."
According to the Informant, commodity prices on the Chinese mainland have remained stable, and black market rates of gold bars and foreign exchange have came down somewhat now that the initial shock of the Koren in- vasion has past.
The informant points out that desplie the current "anti-Ameri- can week" in Red China, there has as yet been no public demand for direct intervention in the Korean war.

UK CONVERTS DOLLARS

London, July 22. The United Kingdom seems to be converting into gold about half of the dollars it has been acquir- ing on behalf of the Sterling area, according to the money market clitor of the "Financial Times". He based his estimate upon figures published in the U.S. Federal Reserve Bulletin.
Furthermore, he said, the new- ly acquired gold seems to be stay- ing in the United States under eermark for U. K.
"This," he said, "could be ex- plained either by security consi- derations, or It may be that the authorities consider it wise to keep the gold reserve in America to meet seasonal or periodic changes in the Sterling area's dollar fortunes."-United Press.
