Farewell 1932

We'd spread our greeting 'cross the

other in recent years, writes the cor-
respondent of The Christian Science
Monitor. Kwangtung has clung to the
old custom of "farming taxes. The
right to collect various types of taxes
is sold to the highest bidder, who pays
the Government a lump sum for the
privilege, and takes as a personal prof-
it whatever additional amount he can
extract from the people. This system
opens the way for serious abuses. Gen-
eral Chen and his associates have de-
cided that as soon as monopolies ex-
pire, the Government will no longer
sell tax rights, but will collect directly
from the people. It is curious that
Kwangtung, which takes pride in its
progressiveness, should be one of the
last provinces in China to reform this
practice. .
Banditry Lessened
The example of Kwangtung's neigh-
boring province, Kwangsi, has induced
the local Government to reorganize
the local militia. Three years ago,
Kwangsi suffered from widespread
banditry. Two progressive generals,
Pai Chung-hsi and Li Tsung-jen, then
took over the province and instituted
an elaborate militia system. Provin-
cial armies were reduced to a mini-
mum and the protection of local dis-
tricts was left to the militia. The sys-
tem has been a success, and banditry
has been largely eliminated. General
Chen and his associates have been so
much impressed that they have begun
to organize a similar militia system in
Kwangtung. Gen. Chafing Kai-shek is
using the same system in reorganizing
districts recovered from Communists
in his campaign in Hupeh and Honan
'provinces.
Slavery Stopped
--The-Kwangtung Government has fol-
lowed
ollowed the lead of Nanking in forbid-
ding the traffic in slave girls. For cen-
turies the "mu tsai" system has had a
strong hold on this province. Poor
families sold their . daughters as do-
mestic slaves to more well-to-do fami-
lies, and such transactions were ap-
proved by law. The girls were bound
to serve their masters until they be-
came of age, Magistrates of local dis-
tricts have been instructed to make
complete lists of slave girls in their
areas, and report them to the provin-
cial government. Future sales are
strictly forbidden, and those already
in bondage will be freedas rapidly as
means is found for their support.

Large Plant to be Erected,
Reviving Manufacture of
Basic Bessemer Steel
London. -A. new phase in Pritish
steel history has been opened by a
scheme to develop the great ori beds
of Northamptonshire, Plans - have
been completed by Stewarts & 1 lords
to start at once on the erection of a
large-scale plant in the Village o; Cor-
by for the production of basic Besse-
mer steel.
It will mean the restarting in Eng-
land of the manufacture of this type
of steel, for which there has been no
domestic source of supply. Require-
ments now are being met by imports
of foreign materials, chiefly from Bel-
gium.
elgium.
In the Northamptonshire field, wbich
ranks as one of the great ore beds of
the world, the company controls re-
serves to the extent of some 500,000,-
000- tons. Fullseale experiments and
exhaustive trials have determined that
the composition of the ore is partici'
laxly suited for the production of steel
of basic Bessemer quality.
The scheme entails the expenditure
of £3,300,000, or about $10,500,000 at
current exchange, a sum which will be
provided by a. financial .group under
rangements made by the Bankers' In-
dustrial Development Company, This
organization was formed some time
ago by the Bank of England to help
finance sound economic developments
in the basic industries of the country,
The ore scheme marks the first work-
ing of this machinery.
It is expected that two years will be
required to complete the works, which
will include not only an iron and steel
plant but a plant for tube manufacture.
The designed output is 300,000 tons of
steel a year,
Stewarts & Lloyds controls twenty-
two iron and steel and tube manufac-
turing works in England and Scotland,
and produces 80 per cent. of the steel
tubes made in this country.
For Corby, a village of 12,000, the
waving of this industrial wand will
mean a complete transformation. Now
a place where many houses still have
thatched roofs and oil lighting, it is
looking forward to an influx of labor,
to a building boom, and to a change
to an industrial community, -
Immediate effect upon unemploy-
ment in the near -by area is seen in
the need for 2,000 men to begin work.

The canton municipal government
has approved the plans of the City
planning Commission for the building
of highway and drainage systems. The
plan provides for construction of tram-
way lines, airdromes, railway stations
and parks. Canton is divided into
commercial, residential, agricultural
and amusement areas, and owners of
vacant lots have been notified that
they must erect buildings of the ap-
proved type in each area within a year,
after which a special tax amounting to
10 per cent. of the land's market value
will be imposed. This ruling is expect-
ed to relieve the housing congestion.
Canton, one of the largest cities in
China, has no tramway. Construction
of an extensive system was started
ten years ago, but was stopped after
a dispute between the company and
the municipal government over the
franchise. The company has now
been revived, and a satisfactory ar-
rangement made with the municipality
for its completion.
S'aldiers Who Serve
"An educated military" is the slogan
of the Kwangtung Education Bureau
in its campaign to institute military
training in all middle schools and uni-
versities. "Some military force Is
necessary under present conditions,"
the bureau argues, "but there is a vast
difference between good and bad sol-
diers. If educated men jean armies In
larger numbers, we can make the mill -
try servants, not masters, of the peo-
ple."
