water ocean port, free from ice, originated with the late Dr. Sun Yat! Sen, whose plans for the modern development of China as a republic included three great ocean ports for North China, East China, and South China.

Government or-

The Nationalist ganised the National Construction Cominission to carry out important; public works along the lines of Dr. Sun Yat Sen's plans, and in 1929 this commission appointed a board to investigate the Great Northern Port scheme. In 1931, representa-! tives of the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Communications were added to the Board, which was then reorganised as the Commission for the Development of the Great Northern Port. The first report has now been presented by Dr. Shu-tien Li, chairman and chief engineer of Extensive Bur-

water than any of the other pro- posed or existing ports on the Gulf 147 af Pohai. Its distances are nautical miles from Dairen, 126 miles from Hulutao, 96 miles from Tientsin, and

from miles Chefoo.

While Tientsin is an important] commercial centre of North China, it is situated some distance up the river. has only shallow-draft accom- | modation, owing to the amount of silt which accumulates in spite of dredging, and is frozen up in the winter months. The Taku Bar at the mouth of the river, and about 6 miles off shore, is also a serious obstacle to ocean steamer commerce. The navigation channel inside the bar permits only a draft of 14ft., and sometimes only 10ft., so that large vessels have to anchor outside the bar.

The total

cost is

estimated at] $15,000,000 and the work will re- quire 15 years to complete.
