Chinese Mining Concessions, The Ministry of Industry and Commerce in Peking about two months non. pablished the draft of a new body of Mining Laws./
to encourage the development of the mining re- sources of the country as well og to Escure some central control over the industry. To the inter est of China's welfare few things. are more necessary than this, especially in view of the reports which have been current in recent months regarding the apparent readiness of certain Provincial Governments to batter away thees assets on terms which are highly injurious. to the best interests of the country.
