Survey Report« China in as
Good Shape as Japan
To Continue War.
SAN FRANCISCO. — Hugs pur
chases of China's silver reserves by
the U. S. treasury have been one
of the prime factors in enabling Chi
na to maintain its resistance to the
Japanese invasion, according to a
survey of the Institute of Pacific Re
lations.
As a result the institute finds that
China is in just as good shape finan
cially for continuing the war as Ja
pan, and possibly even better.
Neither shows an indication of be
ing near the point of financial ex
haustion, although the institute be
lieves China in the end will be forced
to resort to inflation.
“No statements have ever been is
sued,” the survey states, “to show
how much silver has actually been
taken over, but the silver deals be
tween the U. S. treasury and Chi
nese authorities have been so com.
prehensive that little Chinese silver
has been sold on the open market
since transactions between the two
gover.iments were first initiated.
The p ice paid the Chinese appar
ently has been higher than that pre
vailing in the open market.”
Silver Sold to Treasury.
The institute finds that since No
vember, 1935, when China was
forced off the silver standard owing
to the United States’ action in ar
bitrarily boosting the price of sil
ver to 45 cents an ounce, the Chi
nese fiscal authorities have handled
roughly 1,200,000,000 Chinese dol
lars.
At the United States price of 45
cents per ounce this makes a total
of 430,000,000 U. S. dollars. Most of
this, the institute says, has been
sold to the U. S. treasury. Nearly
all of this has presumably been
shipped out of China, much of it
coming directly to the United States,
and the remainder being held either
at Hongkong or London awaiting
shipment to its eventual American
destination when the moment is fa
vorable.
Opium Brings Revenue.
The second source of unofficial
revenue that is enabling Chiang Kai-
shek to keep up his resistance is
that of the opium growing provinces
of China, the institute says.
Before the Japanese invasion, it
was known these provinces were
yielding annually $75,000,00(1 to Chi
ang’s war chest, but with the pres
ent heavy increase in the price of
opium, the institute estim ates that
Chiang now has $100,000,000 annual
ly from this source.
New Orleans Battle Site
May Be National Park
NEW ORLEANS.—Chalmette Bat
tlefield, where Gen. Andrew Jack-
son, his Kentucky Rifles and Pi
rate Lafitte’s smugglers routed the
British from behind cotton bales,
may become a national park.
Movements have been under way
for years to purchase the old field.
The Louisiana legislature has
passed a bill appropriating $300,000
out of the public school fund to
purchase the land.
When signed by the governor, the
bill probably will mean that the
government will contribute $1,000,000
to beautify the memorial, accord
ing to Col. E. S. Brea of the Nation
al Defense committee and the Asso
ciation of Commerce.
The national park service already
has shown great interest in the proj
ect. A committee recently surveyed
the site.
The state, however, will not pur
chase the battlefield unless the gov
ernment agrees to reproduce Brit
ish and American lines as indicated
by old maps.

WASHINGTON.—Now it is known
what’s been keeping ’em down on
the farm in recent years. Census
Director William L. Austin dis
closed that a “sample survey” of
3,000 farms in 40 states showed that
the level of living on the nat:on's
farms has risen materially since
1930. It revealed that seven out of
every ten farms had automobiles;
six had radios: and four were light
ed by electricity.
On th re e fa rm s out of ev e ry nine,

and on two of th ese into a b ath

V a lle y o f th e N ile Is
a 7 0 0 -M ile -L o n g Oasis
The valley of the Nile is nothing
more or less than a 700-mile-long
oasis, with the great wastes of the
Libyan desert bounding it on the
west and the Arabian desert on the
east.
At times, writes a correspondent
in the Detroit News, the two great
deserts try hard to meet, compress
ing the Nile valley into a mere
thread consisting of little more than
the river. For the greater part,
however, the valley ranges in width
from three or four to fifteen miles.
Except in those places where the
deserts encroach or the fantastic
multi-colored sandstone hills crowd
in, the floor of the Nile valley re
sembles nothing so much as a great
rambling checker board, its squares
blocked out by an intricate system
of irrigation ditches, which suck
their life-giving water from the
river.
Once every year the 180 sluices of
the great dam at Assouan are opened
and the Nile rises more than a
m an’s height, the unleashed waters
overflow its banks and, from the
Sudan to the approaches of Cairo,
spread far and wide over the floor
of the valley. For three months
these mechanically-controlled flood
waters cover the land, seeping deep
into the rich earth and irrigating
it for the next year's crops.
With the coming of the flood wa
ters the fellaheen, or peasants, who
have been careless of the sites on
which they have erected their mud
huts must watch their miserable
homes melt away before their eyes.
Then, loading their all, which is
usually next to nothing, on a camel,
they move back to higher and drier
land and start building anew.
After the water has subsided it is
drawn from the river during the
next nine months by water wheels
and dumped into the deep transver
sal ditches from which it flows,
in turn, into smaller channels run
ning parallel to the river.
