China's Traffic Problem,

It is, we think, worthy of con- sidoration whether a system of good main roads, fit for use by wheeled traffic, both fast and heavy, would not be of us much economic benefit to the land as these exponsivo railways. The great economic value of railways as a means of speedy communion- tion is largely nullified in China, whero time is so much at a discount. Trunk roads havə provod a roal.

It needs only to see a consignment of goods being laboriously carried into the interior by coolics—often, five or six ton single case or bale to roslizo whist a revolution in traffic would be orcated by roads capable.alaistaining moderncurle and carriagee, to be followed Boon, no doubt, by the ubiquitous modern car. There is this to be considered also, that even when these long ronching railways are constructed they will only be main lines, and will need feeders. Many more years must elapse before they could roach all the centres of production, and so, even when the railways exist, it would still be necessary to have modern roads to bring the commerce to the railways.
