The efforts made by the Minister of Railways, Sun Fo, and his assistants, foreign and Chinese, are bearing fruit.
The railways in the north are operating more smoothly now than at any time since 1995. There is less military interference with the lines, and more regular passenger traffic.

It will be seen that less than 5915301 0878 6670 1708 6714 per cent. of the tonnage of the 6970 Verchant Marine now depends en tirely on coal, while in 1914 the percentage was nearly 88. Oil is not always used in steamers fitted for barning oil fuel, as such in- stallations can readily be replaced by coal-burning fittings should it happen that oil is unobtainable or Fita price renders it unprofitable.
