Chinoso Government.
Out of a total budgut of nearly £3,000,000 for
foreign countries the Council spend over £145,000
directly on China (i.c. not including China's share of
overheads). This sum can be broken down as follows:
Salaries, runt and maintenance
76,000
Followships, studentships
42,500
Visitors to United Kingdom
7,500
Books and periodicals
7,800
Subsidised posts at universitics
otc.
4,500
Sino British Societics
2,500
Lectures
2,200
Total
143,000
The very large amount of money spent on students (which does not include the cost of passages) is a special feature of the Council's China budget, justifiod by the oxceptional importance of the
intellectual class in China and the financial chaos
that makes it unprofitable to spend sterling in China. Future developments depends very much on how sɔɔn the expenditure on personnel and maintenance can be roduced to more reasonable proportions. It is hopod to increase the number of subsidised posts and, in a
year or so, to reopen an office in West China (probably
An office in South China may follow
at Chongtu).
