CHINA AGAINST ISOLATION
MR. T. V. SOONG'S SPEECH
AT WORLD ECONOMIC CONFERENCE
`{Spontal, Air-Mail Service)
Loudon, June, "Dr. T. V., Soong addressing the Conference mid-In other coun-
tries we see over-production, sur plus, glut; in China, scarcity, under development, and the paucity of means to purchase. Contrast our development, for example, with that of the United States, which in area, climate, and resources offers a close parallel to China. We have to-day 7,000 miles of railways as against 275,000 in the United States of America; 20,000 miles of motor roads as against 3,000,000 miles.
Other forms of industrial and commercial development are just ቢ disproportionate, The foreign trade in China has been in- creasing, but it is still trifling in relation tu our population. In 1932 it
problem, is also helping us in other. economic prohlenis
You in the Western world are experiencing the difficulty of m aged currencies, which fluctuate in relative value from day to day and thereby dislocate foreign trade. We have similar difficulties in China, because, although the Chinese cur rency is metallic and not managed, there have been violent fluctuations of the price of silver in relation to gold and to non-gold currencies. Silver is now at a very low price, modities rise in relation to guld, and I hope that, while other com silver will do so also. More im portant than an increase in the value of silver, however, is that in should have a reasonably stable value, hope, therefore, that while.

China's Standard of Living.
If the standard of living in China. is raised, as we mean to raise it, her consuming powers will not only absorb our own industrial produc- tion, but also provide the greatest of all markets for the warldo great hs to be a decisive factor in a new era of prosperity. China offers the greatest possible opportu. nity for the productive employment of capital-Western capital and Chinese capital together. Surely it should not be beyond the statesman- ship of the world to find a form and method which will satisfy the ideal of Sun Yat Sen of securing on the one hand the political and economic independence of China, and, on the other hand, affording Western capital, industry, and commerce a profitable field for development.

"Asia for the Asiatic."
A few people in my country and larger number in other countries in Asia believe that Asia has little. to learn and nothing to fear fron the West. They urge us to combine Western technique with the low standards of living in the East, and they say that by so doing we shall capture the markets of the world, and exclude Western co-operation in the name of *Asia for the Asiatics," and a so-called "Monroe doctrine for Asia." Such doctrines aro alien to our conceptions of in- ternational intercourse, and we do not propose to follow them. We reject national or regional isolation. It is the settled aim of my Gov. ernment to develop the consuming power of China. We mean so 18 reorganize our country that we can raise the standard of living of our people.
