S. Bombers Port Cities Famed in Tea and Silk Trade Must Be Recaptured By the National Geographic Society The Chinese have a saying, “Ev erything new originates in Canton.” Bearing this out they point to the fact that the earliest Chinese trade with the Western world centered at Canton, and that Sun Yat Sen, who established the modem Chinese state, found his first followers there. This port, so important in the life of China, marks the southern end of a vital 1,000-mile sweep of coast which extends northward to the Jap anese-held Shanghai area. Along this coast, now feeling the blows of American bombs, Japanese control is only nominal except for the ports. One important port, Foo chow (Minhow), remained in Chi nese hands throughout the entire war until a recent sadden attack by Japanese forces. Japanese penetration along sec tions of this long coast is only skin deep, extending no farther inland than the waning power of the Nip ponese navy is felt. A few miles inland from the port garrisons the Chinese remain in control. Some siz able reaches of the coast between major ports are likewise free of the invader. The shoreline from Canton to Shanghai forms a gentle outward curve with countless minor irregu larities but no deep indentations ex cept the Canton estuary, Hangchow bay, and the mouth of the Yangtze. The coast is rugged, rocky and shat tered into thousands of islands. Ty phoons often rage along the entire coast except at Shanghai, making ships scurry to the nearest typhoon shelter. Gentler monsoons blow all year. Fishing is one of the chief occupations of the crowded, land- starved people. A bit of this coast is tropical, and much subtropical. Hong Kong lies on about the same latitude as Ha vana, Cuba, and Shanghai is no farther north than Savannah, Ga. Orange groves, tea shrub^ and rice paddies are seen in profusion as far north as Foochow. Rivers Carry All Traffic. Railroads are not as important in serving Chinese ports as are rivers. Many of the coast cities have no railroads. Each port lies at the mouth of a river. Nearly all traffic is borne to and from the ports on water, making them really trans shipment points between river and canal craft and ocean-going vessels. Canton, about 90 miles from the open sea, is truly a city built on water trade. It is situated at the head of an estuary into which flow several rivers. Estimates place from 100,000 to 200,000 of its 860,000 inhabitants actually living on the water, in junks, on rafts, sampans and barges. In this floating city within a city a man could be bom, grow up, marry, have children, and die, spending most of his life on the water. Canton saw the birth of the for eign trade and merchant marine of the United States. Six months after England recognized the Colonies’ in dependence the ship Empress of China was bound for Canton—and tea. She also brought back china- ware and silk. Thus started the fab ulous China trade, in which Yankee- built clipper ships outraced every thing on the sea. Before the Japa nese invasion brought an interrup tion, one-third of modern Canton’s exports came to the United States, mostly as raw silk. Canton was feverishly improving itself when the Japs came. The Bund, formerly a muddy track ulong the river front, was transformed into a wide, well-paved street backed Aiinut* Mala- Upi By QABRIELLB The new face powders are beauti fully tinted with the softest pink tones.

Roads into the interior were built. On either side of the mouth of Can ton’s estuary lie two foreign colo nies—Portuguese Macau and British Hong Kong. Macau was the - thin edge of the wedge which Europe thrust into China in the 16th century that later opened most of the impor tant ports of the empire to foreign trade. Little more than remem brance of past glory remains to Macau. British Gain Monopoly. Hong Kong, Britain’s great entre pot across the bay, had nearly monopolized the foreign trade of all south China. It ranked as one of the world’s principal ports, with a population of slightly over a million, 20,000 of whom were Caucasians. Northeast of Hong Kong is Bias bay, hangout of pirates. Though usu ally attacking junks or small native ships, these bold corsairs sometimes boarded steamers as passengers, overpowered the crews on the high seas, and took the ships to Bias bay for looting and for holding rich pas sengers for ransom. Swatow, Amoy, Chuanchow and Foochow are four important ports opposite Japanese - held Formosa (Taiwan). Swatow, near the mouth of the Han, was noted for its ex ports of linen embroidery and laces. A city of 178,000, Swatow had no wharves, but unloaded its ships at mid-river pontoons which were bridged to the shore. As in most China ports, lighters also carried the cargo from large ships anchored in the harbor to the shore. Amoy supplied the tea for the Bos ton Tea Party. The British ships whose cargoes were damped into Boston bay in 1773 carried tea from this faraway Chinese city. Amoy’s prewar 234,000 persons had one of<S> China’s most improved ports. Once ' dirty and backward, it built wide | streets, an extensive Bund, and the ! finest park in south China. It lost its rich Formosa trade when Japan took that Chinese island in 1395. The harbor of Chuanchow (Tsin- kiang) admits only vessels of 10-foot draft or less, but Foochow has an anchorage for the largest vessels. A Chinese navy yard and dry docks were located there. In the 1850s, ’60s and ’70s Foochow was the most famous tea port in the world. Brit ish and American clippers loaded up with bohea tea and raced west. In the race of 1866 there was a dif ference of only 12 minutes between the first and second ships to reach the finish line in the English chan nel-after a voyage of 16,000 miles. "GAY GADGETS" Associated Newspapers—WNU Features. Farm Supplies Will Continue to Be Short, But Improvement Is Expected in Some Lines Farmers are in for another tough ^ year on the mechanical side of their production job, according to Fred eric B. Northrup, director of the of fice of materials and facilities of the War Food administration. Instead of hoped for improvement in the materials and equipment situ ation, and fewer transportation prob lems, farmers in 1945 may expect to see a continuation of obstacles against which they have battled throughout the war years. That brings into sharp relief the necessity for using every bit of machinery and other equipment to the best possible advantage, keeping tools and buildings in good repair, sharing available equipment where it is practical, and keeping close check on unnecessary waste of ma terials. Transportation problems, Northrup said, will be affected by the fact that the approved truck production program will provide less than a fourth of the new trucks estimated to be essential. Production of light trucks, of particular interest to farmers, is authorized at about 12 per cent of estimated requirements. The number of surplus army trucks that will be available is unpredict able. Heavy truck tires continue in short supply. Although production of some of the most important labor-saving ma chines has been greatly increased during the war, government sur veys show that the outlook for 1945 could still be improved upon. Farm machinery in general (with the ex ception of tractors) at last report was running 20 to 25 per cent behind schedule. Spring tools and some oth er items requiring heavy use of cast ings were behind schedule, although tractor production was approximate ly on the line. Parts Are Available. Plenty of parts are expected to be available to keep current equipment By NANCY PEPPER SEA SHES There's a new navy rave sweep ing through the Jive and Johnson set. It’s the good old middy blouse, just like the teen agers used to wear when Elsie Dins- more was the Or phan Annie of her day. In some schools the gals wear white mid dies tucked into navy blue skirts and finished off with stone studded- belts. In other schools they’re buy ing navy blue middies that look like genuine G.I. stuff and wearing them over-blouse fashion over pleated navy or plaid skirts. Of course, you’ll need a little white gob hat to top off this seaworthy set-up. Could be you’ll be going in for horn pipes instead of Lindys and chanties instead of jive! MOPSY By GLADYS PARKER up to date, and farmers are being urged to check over and repair ev ery old machine that can be kept in operation. Emphasis in the farm machinery program will continue to be on labor- saving machines for harvesting and haying, Northrup pointed out, but planting, fertilizing and tillage equip ment will receive a bigger share of authorized material than in past pro grams. Reuse of bags and wdoden con tainers is being urged again in 1945, as the fabric and wood shortage is expected to make for further scar city of these items. Lumber continues in critical short age, but the farmers’ situation on repairs calling for this material is somewhat improved. They can now go to their county AAA committees and get certificates for lumber to be used in urgently needed repair and maintenance of farm dwellings, just as they have been getting certifi cates for lumber to be used on other farm buildings. About as much met al roofing and siding as last year appears certain. No shortage is anticipated for nails, staples, bale ties and pipe, and manufacturers of fence wire and net ting are authorized to produce at a greater rate than their prewar level. The number of hand tools in pros pect is about the same as in 1944, with some tools and other miscel laneous supplies continuing to move to farms from stocks of surplus war property. Supplies of binder twine are ex pected to be adequate, with an im provement in quality during 1945. The rope situation is not yet clari fied, although the quality will con tinue to be below prewar days. There will probably be enough milk cans to meet farmers’ requirements.
