The Macao Broadcasting Station recently inaugurated. marks step forward 'In the modernisation of the city and rendering of better service, to the Colony.

GREAT STRATEGIĆ «VALUE

Because of its great strategic value the line was built by the Japanese under a veil of secrecy and they,completed it in the record time of 18 months. They employed

40,000 Chinese and Korean coolies under the protec tion of Japanese rifles, at a wage of 6 cents a day. Nearly 50 Парапезе engineers, surveyors and others lost their lives at the hands of Chinese insurgents and bandits while the railroad was being built

The new railway parallels the Chinese Eastern to the south and experts predict that it will event- ually make that strategic line, under joint Soviet Russian and Manchukuo control worthless. whatever the outcome of the cur-

Constructed largely with a view to their militázy and strategic value, the new lines will also give Japan enormous economic, politi- cal and colonization advantages in this vital part of Asia. They are expected by the Japanese to have as profound effect upon the course of history in Asia as the construction of the great Trans- Siberian railroad through Asiatic Russia, the Berlin-Bagdad line through Europe and the Near East, and the great trans-con- tinental lines across the United States.
