Hankow, To-day. The newly appointed Chinese Minister of Eco- nomics, Mr. Oong Wen-hao, yesterday gave Trans- Ocean a resume of measures contemplated by the Central Government to bring Chinese economic equipment into alignment with the demands of na- tional defence under prevailing conditions.

Mr. Oong declared that the Economics Minis- try united all the functions performed hitherto by the Ministry for Industry, the National Economic Council, and the War Economic Committee of the Supreme Military Council.

It thus effects centralisation of the administra- tive departments concerned, and in this way as- sures better collaboration of all authorities af- fected.

First constructive measure .con- templated is transfer of all indivi- dual industries from the war zone to the interior, where they will be able to develop independently of external influence and at the same time contribute to economic stim- ulation of the interior provinces.

GIGANTIC DIFFICULTIES- As inducement to owners to transfer of factory plant to the in- terior without delay, the costs in- volved will be met by the Govern- ment as a loan.

The Minister did not attempt to conceal that the plan will be con- fronted with gigantie difficulties, notably in connection with traffic routes.

In spite of Japanese capture of many industrial districts, especial. ly of coal mines, Chinese industry would go to work at high pressure.

MINE DEVELOPMENTALS Coal mines in the neighbourhood of Hankow would be developed first, while particular attention would be paid to electrification în the interior provinces.
