China is, and must clearly re- main, essentially an agricultural country. No substantial progress of any kind can be made unless the peasants' margin of livelihood can be increased. The Cheklang Provincial Department of Recon- struction has therefore, planned a large scale engineering work for labour relief. For the promotion of convervancy work in the pro- vince alone, a sum of $1,000,000 from. the $20,000,000 Provincial Reconstruction" Loan has been assigned.
A full measure. of utilising the refugee abour in the undertaking has been considered. The Provincial Government has decided to remit $150,000 for the dredging and reconditioning of the
ponds, rivers · and other water- ways, for which, as estimated some 6,500 refugees will be em- ployed.
