COLORFUL SHANGHAI Emil Hurja, former Alaska newspaper man and now assistant to James A. Farley, | Chairman of the Democratic National Com- | miittee, was one of those making the recent | interesting trip to the Philippines for the | inaugural ceremonies of the new Philip- pine Commonwealth. On the journey, Mr. Hurja, an able writer, prepared exclusively for The Empire a series of articles covering the voyage, the ceremonies and the inter- esting places enroutc. They give an insight to the whole history-making event which was not available in the daily news dis- patches. The fourth of the interesting arti- cles is presented herewith: By EMIL HURJA SHANGHAI, China—Here we are, ready to set sail from this Paris of the Far East, to continue on down the China coast to Hong Kong, enroute to Manila to attend the inaugural of the new com- monwealth government of the Philippines on the fifteenth. Shanghai, the most populous city of China, with the best and worst, they say, of 42 nations, where eighty per cent of the people can neither read nor write and the balance can speak from one to fourteen languages. Not a melting pot, to be sure, for the population is as well depart- mentalized as a modern New York department store’s stock -of S Shanghai is an international city, with its inter- national settlement, its French concession and its native section, a city where the forelgner is king, feet in sedan chairs by wiry, tough-legged coolies, and witnessed the ceremony of two hundred Budd- of gongs and drums. In Chinese, the name of the monastery signifies “The Spirit's Retreat,” and aptly named it is. If Only Rooseveltian action saved it and them one wanted a secluded spot in which to medltflte,‘ the topmost point of the group of hills harboring the Ling Yin monastery would be ample for all needs. Ancient Chinese legend says that Ling Yin sider that it filled the spiritual needs of the people. There are, in the spacious temples, hundreds of gigantic Buddhas, carved figures of their saints, all emblematic of heroes of the dim and distant past. Another temple we visited was that dedicated to the fishermen, Yu Chuan, or the Gem Spring of | the Dancing Fish. Within the walls of this temple is a long pond, filled with large fresh water carp, considered a sacred fish, which visitors are given an opportunity to feed. Time would not permit us to visit the many interesting spots in this beautiful town, so after a brief visit to one of the famous fan shops, we were homeward bound to Shanghai. Shanghai's importance in commerce is evident from the multitude of smokestacks that can be seen as the steamer approaches the city. Forty-five per cent of all the customs duties collected in China are irung up on the cash registers here in Shanghai. Principal imports are cotton cloth, iron and steel and mineral oil. The exports are largely silk, tea, skins and wood oil. Our official welcoming celebration started with a luncheon, or tiffin, as the English have it out here, given at the magnificent civic center by General Wu Teh-Chen, Mayor of Greater Shanghai on Sat- urday, November 2. Toasts were drunk, General Wu offering one to the President of the United States; and Vice-President Garner responding with one to the Persident of the Republic of China. At 4:30| ', we were guests at tea of the Minister of Finance, | Dr. H. H. Kung, and in the evening at 8:30 o'clock, |} | we were guests of the American Ambassador, Nelson | Johnson, at a marvelous dinner at the Park Hotel. | This about wound up our official ceremonies for | Shanghai, and we were free to see the shops and | stores with counters and cases richly laden in silks ivory and all the rare lacquered and carved chests and tables that go to make the art of the Chinese so entrancingly inter- and fineries, jade and esting.
