THE GREAT WALLS OF CHINA
ECONOMIC WALL A BARRIER TO TRADE
Interesting Talk At
The Rotary Club
"An Englishman Looks At The Great Walls Of China" was the subject of an interesting,talk delivered by Professor G. AS Middleton Smith, MSc, M. I. Mech. E, yesterday at the Weekly Tiffin of the Rotary Club which was held at the Roof Garden of the Hong Kong Hotel.
Professor Middleton Smith treated the subject very exhaus- tively. In his opening remarks hë said "There is the huge, in- tangible, almost impenetrable, wall of books that in the past centuries was built up by the greatest intellects in China, a bar- rier of abstract ideas that isolated their thoughts and their na- tion from the rest of mankind. And lastly there by the more recently erected and in this era the more 'sinister, anti-sacfä), tariff wall."
...
"The walls of earthwork and of books are crumbling, but the economic wall that prevents the free exchange of goods Is rising higher and bigher.to the detriment and despair of all but the few who profit from it,”
