CHINA YEAR BOOK

1934

The China Year Book should be immediately accessible to the staff of every office in China. Its 800 pages cover the whole field of political, financial and commercial activities in easy referenca 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 issues. In the current issue, among other important documents, will be found:--

The Rajchman Report

Draft Permanent Constitution

Banking LawA

Manchurian Railways

Sino-Japanese Issues

Price $20 Postage

China 30 etx Hongkong 60 cts. Abroad $2.00

and special articles on currency, communications, cost of living, trade prospects and statistics, the Chinese Government, pabic 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 various subjects dealt with. Among them are:

on

the

Father E. Gherzi: The Climate of China

Mr. E. Kann: Currency and Banking

Father P. M. D'Elia: R. G. Missions

Dr. Ta Chen: Labour Problems

Dr. M. T. Z. Tyan: Greater Shanghai

Mr. Owen Lattimore: Chinese Turkestan and Mongolia

Rev. C. L. Boynton: Protestant Missions

Dr. J. B. Grant: Public Health

The Editor, who is himself a leading authority on Chinese affairs, is the author of several works on China, Editor of "Oriental Affairs" and has lived for over thirty years in the country.
