His view, however, is that this problem will be solved once normal conditions rule within China Then. these men will be absorbed in the various lines of commercial, industrial and pro- fessional progress.

To bring this about, however, what is necessary is the establishment has already commented upon in his of a port authority-a matter which he speeches. The building programme of Shanghai, in his view, may have been a little too optimistic for the moment, but with political conditions settled, the pre- sent condition will be more than rectified He emphasizes in this connection that there is not the slightest doubt that from its geographical position Shanghai is bound to be one of the greatest cities in the world.
