KURAL ECONOMY

AS 1 remedial measure. Mr. Wang suggested that whilst China should exert ner utmost efforts to

retain her economic resources along the coast and the Yangtze River, she, should lose no time in developing 'rural economy. Human and material power should be im- mediately marshalled, to develop agriculture, handicraft, commerce and industries in the interior parts

With regard to the protection of communications Mr. Wang re- marked that the network of high- ways constructed throughout the country during recent years can contribute much to self-defence if they are well protected and utilis- ed, but may also facilitate the ad- vance of the enemy. if they should be seized by them. in order to protect these highways every vil- lage and town should be taught to defend itself so that wherever the Japanese go, they will meet with resistance.

Shanghal, Nov. 19. The Japanese Consular and military authorities are working out special measures to prevent Jooting in

houses by Japanese troops quartered in the western suburbs and doing their utmost to safeguard foreign pro- perty. The

trouble is that the freebooters, who are an inevitable concommitant in all armies in war time, disregarded the notices placed on the houses. Reuter

dynasty, the Manchus ruled over the 400,000,000 Chinese by making the Chinese harness the Chinese themselves. The sante tactics, Mr. Wang pointed out, are being used by the Japanese. In areas they occupy, they establish puppet governments, which they use as a tool to rule over the Chinese..

To defeat such tactics on the part of the Japanese the Chinese masses, Mr. Wang opined, must be awakened to the gravity of the present national crisis and they must be properly organised and trained to defend themselves.
