Shanghal. September 29. The thirteenth annual meeting of the China Economic Society was held in the Chinese Y. M. C. A., Shanghai, and 1 distinguished gathering of "over 500 members were present, Dr. H. H. Kang, the Minister of Finance at Nanking, gave an address on The Econotaic Rise of China and the Mission of the Economtr Society," the epitome of which is as follows:-

China an economically back- ward country. When she led the life' of isolation, she was relf- sufficient: but as soon ùs she had her doors thrówn open to interna- Honal trade,' her exports have al- ways been cheap rew materials and food-stuffs, while her im- páros." manufactured goods and' machinery which are high-priced, with the result that the only visible phenomenon of economio China is poverty in al its forms. Since the National Government came into being at. Nanking, it has always been the aim of the Government to pursue, though steadily, a policy of economic re- vival But the world-wide de- pression came along, and not only
