A CANAL SYSTEM

His first programme is the con- struction of a Great Northern Port on the Gulf of Pechili linked by a system of railways to the North- western boundaries of China with a simultaneous colorisation of Mon- golia and Sinkiang.

of the iron and coal fields in Shansi including the establishment of Iron and Steel Works.

The first dificulty encountered is. the lack of suitable sites for the Great Northern Port. There are available the estuaries of the Naiho and Chibo rivera, the Ta-Ching-Ho, river and the porta of Chinwangtao and Hulutao.

and exports of general erago have increased from 75,000 tons in 1919. 1920 to 262,000 tons in 1928-1929 yet this is only due to the develop ment of the locality.
