Japanese Coal Resources in North China From the Canadian. Institute of International Affairs Control of one of the world's rich est coal areas fell into Japanese hands as a result,of their invasion of North China, Recent and authoritat- ive figures estimate China's total coal reserves at 232.6 thousand million tons; over 54%n of this amount is in the five northern provinces of Cha- kar, Hopei, Shantung, Henan and Shansi. It is further reported that the coal is generally of excellent 1 puality a.nd that a number of the deposits yield a high-grade coking coal. Annual coal production in North China prior to the invasion averaged some 15 million tans, and of this over half came from three mines. Leading producer of the three, and of all China, was a colliery operated under British control, the Kellen mine in Hopei province. The other two were controlled by Chinese companies known respectively as the Chunshing Co.,, in Shantung, and the Chungfu Joint Mining Administration. Once in control the Japanese lost no time in commencing to exploit their prize, To judge by export fig- ures alone, ,it would appear that they had clone so with great success. Be- tween 1936, the year prior to the in- vasion, and 1939, exports to Japan. rose by no less than 1,567,000 tons to a total of 2,404,000 tons. This was nearly 60% of Japan's total imports of coal in that. year. As a matter of fact, however, the rapid rise in exports to Japan was achieved mainly at the expense of shipments formerly made to Shang- hai and other parts of China, In- creased output of the Kellen mine was also partially responsible, For the Japanese raiNinto serious diffi- culties in their efforts to maintain production in the Mines they had rl'H111 SEAFORTH NEWS seized, liy 1940, instead of the pro - war average production figure for the area of 15 million tons, the total had dropped to 12 million tons, Several factors contributed to their difficul- ties. The retreating Chinese armies had wrecked much. of the equipment of the mines, before' leaving thein; transport facilities broke down and there was a shortage of rolling stock. To these obstacles must be added the constant and effective raids of the famous Chinese guerilla forces, and unceasing sabotage by Chinese STANLEY The Bronson line Rod Cross met on Wednesday of last week at the home of Mrs. Bert Dunn Jr. A good number were present.
