China's Iron For Japan Industries
New Concern Soon To Start Shipping
Tokyo, Apr. 6.
A new Japanese concern will soon be established to ship Central China's Iroa and ore to the hungry Industries of Japan proper, according to a Japanese report
by the vast semi-official Japan Iron The firm will be organised jointly
Mans, but it will be con- Company, and other iron trolled by the projected Central China Development Company.
No effort, it is painted out, will be made to manufacture steel in Central -China.
In saying that the name Czecho- Slovakia has no sense shows that knowledge about history and I am afraid even less about ethnography of the coun- try he wants to lecture about. The Czechs und the Slovaks have been on brotherly terms not less than lea centuries. The difference in their respective languages being so slight they had common literature later a common religion. The Czechs and the Slovaks inhabited the terri- tory (and
great dent more) which ex-div. Is now Czecho-Solvakia jong before the Huns came to Europe. Already In the second century A.D. Ptolo- maus mentions the Slavs among the many peoples living in the area be- tween the Adriatic and Baltic seas Rs being on
the highest level of civilization.
