MR. J. 1. MANTELL'S REPORT ON THE PEPING-
"MUKDEN RAILWAY,
CRITICISM OF K.M.A. COAL CONTRACT.
In a memorandum submitted to Mr. Sun Fo, Minister of Railways, by Mr. John J. Mantell, Adviser to the Ministry, regarding the. lat fer's inspection of the Peping-Muk den Railway, Mr. Mantell states that "since 1920 this line has had only two years that would ap- proach normal years on account of constant interruption by civil war and political and military inter- ruption, which broke up the line and resulted in division of its re- venues,"
The foreign indebtedness of this railway runs up to an estimated total of 89,997,010;45, This is a very small amount," Mr. Men tell declares," as compared with the earnings, which amounted to
·834,720,466 in 1927. In a very few years the foreign obligations and rehabilitation cost could be paid
off.
"Of the 251 engines belonging to the railway, 93 engines have an age of 20 to 41 years. It is recom. mended that "these 93 engines bo scrapped. The perpetuation of these engines is a waste of fuel, repair-costs, and man-power,
We should look ahead 20 years in our recommendations for de- velopment, but unfortunately this policy does not exist, and money is epent needlesly in developing facilities that absolutely limit the capacity of the railway. I cannot condemn too strongly the lack of vision in the purchase of ma chinery, in the installation of in- ter-locking signals, and in the or ganization in general.
should be issued on a zone basis, and the railroad not tied by any contracts like the one with the Kailan Mining Administration, which does not expire until June 30, 1931.”
Port of Hulutao.
It is the opinion of the Ameri can railway expert that steps should be taken immediately for the development of the Port of Halutao.
The existing economic strangle- hold which is so apparent in Man- churis," he states, in connection. with existing Chinese lines. under foreign domination by reason of foreign loans, as well as the South Manchuria Railway, demands that, if Manchuria is to be developed for the benefit of the people of the Three Eastern Provinces, and if the economic benefits are to be derived by the people of the Three Eastern Provinces and the Chinese Govern- ment as a whole, it will be neces sary to create a port of this kind to lessen the economic strangle- hold and excessive profits that are being taken out of the country by foreign interests.
