Jap-Held Coast of North China
Now in Range of U. 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

by eight and nine-story hotels, de
partment stores and a modern cus
tomshouse. Thousands of ramshackle
buildings were razed to make way
for 60 miles of paved streets. 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.

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

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

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.
