Metric System For Vehicles

The Chinese Government's new regulation requiring all vehicles to measure their mileage in kilometres and their fuel in litres does not affect used cars, it is reported from Shanghai. The rule only applies to new cars six months from June 11, the date of promulga-

ני

The above information was given by the Ministry of Industry In its reply to the representations made by the Automobile Club of China. While raising no objections to the actual order extending the use of the metric system to the registration of mileage and measure- ment of fuel, the club pointed to the great difficulty involved in the change of all speedometres and fuel ganges in order to conform to the new, rule.

There are in China slightly over 25,000 passenger cars, 8,300 motor buses, 9,500 motor lorries and 2,200 miscellaneous vehicles. According to a very conservative estimate, over half of these are equipped with "miles an hour" speedometres. Should the new ruling apply to these vehicles, not only would the expense involved in the replacement of such equipment be enormous, but the question of supply will be very difficult to solve.

Uncise Tactics

It certainly does not redound to the credit of would-be labour leaders in Shanghai that recent disturbances have been staged in factories where conditions are known to be favourable to the workers and the policy of the employers concerned is direced toward ensuring enlightened terms of service and healthy surroundings for their em- ployees, states the "North China Daily News." The American-Fary Eastern Match Co., which has its factory in Chinese territory across the Soochow Creek, has long distinguished itself by the "efficiency. and modernity of its organization. Those qualities necessarily im- ply consideration for the welfare of the workers, for whom indeed there Company maintains several beneficent institutions. When therefore the Foo-li-wel, or Workers' Welfare Association, endeavours to make the public believe that it cannot get reasonable treatment for such of its members as may be among the employees of that factory, it is barking up the wrong tree. The Chinese Läws definitely prescribe. conditions under which the right of association is secured for workers. How far the Foo-11-wel comes under the category of approved labour its apparent instigation of the disorderly proceedings which have so unions it is perhaps difficult to ascertain. This mach may be sald;

China's Supply Of Electricity

Although the first electric lighting installation In China was Inaugurated in 1879, about the same time that similar services were stated in London, yet by the year 1934, the total consumption in Great Britain was nearly 37,000 million unita, the corresponding figure for China was only 1.894 million units," in spite of the fact that China has a population of 450 million people, states the "North..
