Recreation Centres.

Manufacturing Centre.

Canton Is on the eve of becoming A manufacturing centre of the South. Two things will force her to it: the high import tariff and cheap coal fuel. The high prices of imported articles are beyond the purchasing power of the masses. and during the last six months many small factories have pro- duced articles, which, though in- ferlor to the European makes, find fer rendy sales on account of their chunpaess, and with the lower classes quailty does not count. But factories are severely th handicapped on account of the high price of coal, selling in Canton at nearly $30 aston-and-so-not_much advance or expansion can be ex- pected of them until they can obtain cheaper fuel. This they will get as soon as the Lokchong-Shiukwan section of the Yuet-lian Railway is completed, say, within two years from now. This section will tap the rich cual fields of Pinshek, the quality of which cont compares The favourably with Welsh cont coal can be sold in Canton for 36 One of the pet dreams of the ton, and in Hongkong $7 a tou, Kuomintang Leader, the late Dr. providing there is no export tax.

The Deciding Factor, Now, all that I have said of the future of Canton will depend upon one all-important factor--the mill- tarlets. If they should. #xrce among themselves that peace, and not war, shall again prevail in China, then the destiny of Can- ton is assured, and Shanghai will have to watch her step, as the say- ing is, if she is to retain her com- mercial supremacy in China; but on the other hand, if they do not see eye to eye with the people, that the most urgent, pressing, and vital need of China to-day is peace, then all I can say in that things in Can- ton will still follow "the even tenor which of their way." But events have happened recently and beyond the control of China, will bring politicians have talked about and struggled for, what the armies of China have fought and sacrificed their manhood for, and what the Chinese people have longed and suffered for in silenco and patience of the unification -peace and China. The dove of peace is at present futtering in the Colony, and I think this time she will not be able to elude capture." Gentle" men, I thank you for your very kind attention.

A Correct Prediction..

In expressing the thanks of Rotarians to Mr. Lee Fong. Mr. Chau Yue-teng said, with regard to Canton's past. that the city had few greatly changed in the last years. With regard to the future, he thought Mr. Lee's prediction was right, that Canton would became one of the biggest centres in South China.
