War
Years Finances
The soundness of Chlua's finances is stressed by Dr H. H. Kung, Finance Minister, in a review of the past four years Issued yesterday in connection with the fourth anniversary of the outbreak of Sino-Japanese hostilities.
China's economie structure in protracted hostilities, he anid, was more canducive to the conservative policy of military and financial resistance than that of Japan, and the chances of its ultimate victory depended mainly on playing for time and on the co-ordinated development of personal and national productive power.
Dealing with the great part the people had played in the war financlog, Dr Kung'sold that remittances from Oversens Chinese had Increased from the pre-war figure of $300,000,000 to $600,000,000 since hostilities began and had been a helpful - factor in reducing China's adverse balance of international payments.
Regarding China's borrowing programme, Dr Kung said that the Government had nuthorised internal loan issues to n total of $4,750,000,000. During the same period loans issued in Japan amounted to 17,670 million yen.. At the end of 1940, China's national indebtedness outstanding was roughly $9,250 million while that of Japan was 28,260 million yen, nearly three times China's burden.
Dr Kung expressed China's appreciation of the assistance extended to her in the form of credits by third Powers, stating that they had been helpful in stabilising Chinn's war finances. Up to the end of 1940 China had paid out $1,039,000,000 for debt services; $320,000,000 for external obligations and $719.. 000,000 for internal obligations.
Dealing with Customs revenue. Dr Kung sald that revenues forcibly detained by the Japanese had accumulated to more than $750,000,000 by the end of 1910.
Dr Kung denied reports of any currency inilation which had arisen following the increase of note-issue, and stated that "the surprise of the last four year's management was not that China's currency had been subjected to severe tests but that it has withstood so well the enormous strain Imposed on it by hostilities. Little wonder that such a showing has inspired confidence both at home and abroad in China's financial outlook."
