"China Unconquerable"

(Continued from Page 1.)

Equally dominant is Mrs. Chiang- Kal-shek, who, unlike her sister. makes copious use of ecametics, but disdains personal publicity. Ameri- can-educated, business-like, beauti̟- ful Mrs. Chiang is a determining. factor in Chinese' politics.

When last year's-end Chiang was kidr.apped by rebellious Marshal Chang Haeuh-lang. his wife took complete direction of affairs, flew north to the kidnapper's lair at Sian and handled the whole affair

No Claim To One-Third Of Husband's Income

Shipping Administrative Commit- tee decided recently that vessels which were able to give down to October 31 cancelling by proceeding in ballast might now be chartered from Argentina or Uru- guay with a canceling date not later than October 31 next... This announcement carries on the series of grants of liberty to proceed in ballast to the Bouth American countries named. nouncement was made on July 28 and extended the cancelling date from August 31 to Sept. 30....As. roughly, the voyage of a cargo ves- sel from Europe to the River Plate thay be estimated to require about a month, there is ample time for ships to be chartered and to be ready to load in the Plate by the end of October.

Hitherto the extension of the freedom has led to no weakening at all of the homeward grain rates for the reason that shipping gen- erally is so well employed and such varied opportunities for charters are available that there is no keen tor competition among homeward freights in the trade.

owners

During recent weeks the buying of considerable quantities of maize by Germany and the consequent chat tering of tonnage have assisted in the maintenance of the homeward grain rates on a very firm basts, and during the last few days fur- ther transactions of the kind have taken place. REMAINING FORM OF CONTROL

Since the minimum rates of freight which were agreed by the Tramp Shipping Administrative Committee have long been much exceeded by the actual rates paid in the market the regulation of ballasting voyages remains as the only form of control which it has been desirable to exercise lately. and this regulation has been exer- cised lightly and skilfully and with full regard to the needs of the grain trade.

INSURANCE

SITUATION

An extraordinary situation has arisen in the Insurance of goods for China against war risks. Owing to the diversion of shipping. from Shanghai and the obscurity

of the whole situation at Northern China ports there has been little insurance on oder on merchandise bound to the disturbed area, says the "Manchester Guardian."

The fixed scale of rates for covering war risks on cargo bound to China and Japan remains unn)- tered, but only the risk whilst the goods are on the ocean is covered, the rates varying from £3 per cent. for Shanghai and Yangtze ports to 2s. 6d. per cent. for Hong Kong. Cargo bound for Japanese ports is rated at 2s. 6d. per cent., with an additional 5s, per eent. for the risk before shipment or for 15 days after

discharge. All these rates are sup- plementary to those fixed under the gerieral war risk schedule.

While new business is almost at a standstill, there some anxiety about recent insurances. Up to August 20 underwriters were cover: ing cargo at Shanghal and other Chinese ports for the period before loading and for 15 days after dis- charge, and the rates for these zisks were as high as £10 per cent.

for Shanghai. The reports Di widespread damage by war perlls raise fears that much cargo still at risk under those insurances may have been destroyed or seriously damaged. Not until all policies covering cargo on shore have ex- pired can underwriters rely upon the more recent provision restrict- ing the cover of war-risk policies

to the voyage, so that it will be September 5 before they are entire. ly free from liability on goods on shore..
