RADIO IN CHINA.

NATIONALIST PARTY © INTERESTED.

A FUTURE MEANS OF EDUCATION.

Peping, February (29th (U.P.).—— Radio broadcasting in China, long held up by the opposition of various factional governments. is now being developed rapidly by the Nationalist Party The leaders at Nanking appear fully aware of the fact that broadcasting may be one of the most powerful forces in the education of the Chinese masses.

Reports from several parts of the country state that broadcasting stations are being built, and that the people are being encouraged to buy receiving acts whenever they can afford to do so. At present, not one person in a thousand can afford even the cheapest set, but hundreds gather around the shops which have installed sets to listen to any pro. grammes which are broadcast.

**Deadly Serious" Programm 85. Nanking itself is the centre of the broadcasting campaign. Up to this time, the emphasis has been upen propaganda rather than enter tainment, and the programmes main- tain a deadly seriousnesa which might prove fatal in any other country. It is believed likely that an effort to lighten the programmes will soon be made,

The chief functions at Nanking, including the weekly memorial ser vices for the late Dr. Sun Yat Sen, have been broadcast, and picked up and relayed by subordinate stations in several provinces. Chiang Kai Shek, Chairman of the Central Government, Marshai Feng Yu Hsiang, and other notables speak regularly over the radio to a growing audience.

Until the Nationalists gained control of the country, it was illegal to own receiving sets in the country, and it is only recently that regulations have been promulgated governing their use. These regula tions are similar to those in western countries which require licences to be taken out for receiving sets. Broadcasting Station Being Erbated.

A recent report from Kaifeng, the ultra-conservative capital of Honan province, states that a broadcasting station is being erected there, under the patronage of Marshal Feng Fu Hsiang. Regular programmes are to be sent out, some of them relay ed from Nanking and Shanghai, while the station will also be used to issue official orders to remote sections of the province. A class of radio operators have been studying for several weeks, and the students are expected to be competent by the time the stations are completed. "So little entertainment is provid- ed as yet by the Government broad- casting stations in China that owners of receiving sets are turning more and more to Russia and Japan for amusement. It is quite easy to pick up Harbin, Vladivostock, Habarovsk, Tokyo and Osaka sta- tions in Peping and other Chinese cities, and as these programmes consist largely of music, they can be appreciated by the Chinese.

The prediction that ordinary 're ceiving sets will be enabled to pick up American programmes in a year of two has aroused great interest among foreigners in China who own sets but have been limited to neigh- bouring countries bordering the Pacific. If this prediction is real ed, it is believed every foreigner or foreign educated Chinese in this country will provide himself with a set.

„ACTIVITY AFTER HOLIDAY.

FAIR VOLUME OF COTTON BUSINESS.

The interest exhibited in practi cally all markets at the opening after China New Year justifies the most optimistic expectations. The Yuenlong Piece Goods first auction after the holidays was very satis factory, the total being 305 Packages. Up to this first auction probably about 50 per cent. of the goods, bought before the holidays have been disposed of and profits, therefore, should be available to holders of the balance.

Cotton.

Since the turn of China New Year, larger quantities of Yarn and Cloth have been sold by the Mills for forward delivery. There has also been a very brisk demand between merchants for spot cargo and many Mills are now practical- ly bare of stocks, each day's pro- duction being apportioned out. Chins Cotton keeps steady in spite of very large stocks in Shanghai.
