Industrial Development of

Manchuria.!! Manchurian industrial develop- mack insiemet antiruly in the hands of the Russians-in, the north and b the Japanese in the south. Practi- callyallof the large enterprises in South Manchuria at present KES conducted by the South Manchuria Railway Company as adjurets to the railway. Being unable ad- vantageously to float a lown i Earope in 1914, the OCOM pany's scheme of constantly enlarging its undertakings was curtailed. This indirectly affected the prosperity of the communities within the zone of its sctivities, It is believed that the Japanese, provided the necessary capital in forthcoming, will undertake additional industrial and agricul- tural enterprises, in South Man shuria Important stipulations with regard. to the estälishment of industries in this region were

· ́embodied in the treaties between

Tapan and China signed at Pekingb on May 25, 1915. The exploitation 6. under modern methods of the mini- b. - stal wealth of Manchamiz has been ocnfined almost entirely to scal miming under Japanese supervi- b sion. Apart from these Japanem activities, nothing was done dur. De - ing- last year toward – mineral

development. By the treation | above mentioned the Japanese have several additional valuable b. mining privileges. Manchuria is sufficiently rich in minerals, to nali for development, as gold, silver, copper, Isad, coal and tranb ven known to exist. It is believed that American capital seeking in vestment in mining enterprises in Manchuris would find its pros pects of success enhanced by co- operation with Russians in the north and Japanese in the south: Soya Beans
