In this con- nexion Chioz, if she be well-advised, will benefit by the experience of others. In Great Britala ailways are not State-owned.'

it is more than probable that China's ex- perience in railway development will follow- that of other countries In England the cost of working per trala-mile is to-day about all what it was sixty or kivenly years ago Chins starts with "this, important advantage. On the other hand receipts per trafo-mile lo England have diminished to one third of the earlier amount, and this downward movo ment will fad its counterpart in Chies In the gradual enhancement of prices that will follow the opening up of the country, lo ed or, more confervative sitem of finan England, as a writer on the subject has point-
