CHINA YEAR BOOK

1935 EDITION

The 25 Chapter of the 17th issue of the CHINA YEAR BOOK, edited by H. G. W. Woodhead, C.BE, have as usual been revised or rewritten with the assistance of many experts, Chinese and foreign, and every effort has been made to bring information and statistics up to date.

The Chapter on the Kuomintang covers the political his- tory of China in 1934. The Chapter on the Chinese Govern- ment contains the Text of the Provisional Constitution, the Organic Law, and the Draft of the Permanent Constitution.

The Chapter on International Issues gives the text of the Agreement and Exchange of Notes of the sale of the Chinese- Eastern Railway, besides the latest documents relating to Sino-Japanese issues.

China's Communications — Railways, Roads, Post Office, Telegraphs, Wireless, Telephones and Aviation—are very fully dealt with.
