CHINA YEAR BOOK

1934

The China Year Book should be immediately accessible to the staff of every office in China. Its 850 pages cover the whole field of political, financial and commercial activities in easy reference form, and makes its absence a definite handicap as much to the small trader as to the diplomat. Very little of the contents of this edition has appeared in previous lasues. In the current issus, among other important documents, will be found:-

The Rajchman Report

Draft Permanent Constitution Banking Lawa

Manchurian Railways

Sino-Japanese Issues

Price $20

Postage China 50 cts. Hongkong 60 cts. Abroad $2.00

and special articles on currency, communications, cost of Hving, trade prospects and statisties, the Chinese Government, public Justice, telegraph, telephone and postal information, and a Who's Who of nearly a thousand prominent Chinese personalities.

The China Year Book is not written by one man, but by a number of the principal Foreign and Chinese authorities on various subjects dealt with. Among them are:

Father E Gherst: The Climate of China Mr. E. Kann: Currency and Banking Father P. M.' D'Elia: R. C. Missions Dr. Ta Chen: Labour Problems

Dr. H. T. Z. Tyau: Greater Shanghai

Mr. Owen Lattimore: Chinese Turkestan and Mongolia Rev. C. L. Boynton: Protestant Missions

Dr. J. B. Grant: Public Health
