SHANGHAI, May 16.—Despite many serious interruptions, which since Sep- tember have thwarted efforts to carry cut the five-year reconstruction plan adopted by the cemtral government at Nanking last Summer, officially pub- lished information indicates that, while nothing like the scale of development as originally planned has taken place, a number of important projects have been undertaken and some completed. Gigantic floods during August and September, probably the most disastrous in world history, stopped most normal activity in Central China and for near- ly three months greatly delayed realiza- tion of the government’s reconstruction program. Practically all available funds had to be applied to relief of some ten million flood victims, drainage of the cities and farmlands, rebuilding of homes, factories and government of- fices, sanitation work, repair of canal and river dykes, and so on. Building ceased on all but the most vital new projects. Battles Held Up Work. The turmoil in Manchuria and the threat of Japanese invasion in North China caused diversion of revenues to military operations and defense prep- arations from October onward. In De- cember the collapse of the former | Chiang Kai-shek regime, coupled with menace of renewed civil war as well as a possible declared war with Japan. thoroughly undermined public confi- dence in the new government, made financing of proposed construction work out of the question and caused sus- pension, until now, of vast mining, en- gineering and industrial schemes more ambitious than those prescribed by the Soviet five-year plan. In face of these obstacles, however, certain definite achievements were put through during October, November, De- cember and January. New Mint Opened. For instance, in October: The Shanghai Mint, designed by and built under the supervision of Clifford Hewitt, an American expert, was completed and formally opened. It is the largest and probably the most modern mint in the world, capable of turning out $1,000,000 silver in 24 hours. The Bank of China began construction of a new $800,000 home in Shanghal. Conservancy work, aimed to reclaim important tracts of land, began in the Huai, Yangtze and Grand Canal basins, while in Shanghai the cruiser Chung Hsing, largest yet built in Chinese shipyards, was launch- ed for the use of the maritime customs. In Tsinanfu work was commenced on a $100,000 government hospital and in Kiangsu renewal of construction on a 90-mile strip of roadbed neared comple- tion of the Shanghai-Hangchow-Ning- po Railway. In November three new commercial and military airdromes with hangars were completed in Kiangsu and Anhwei Provinces, & new State chemical works was opened in Honanfu and a 190-mile motor highway was finished between Nanking and Hanchow, thus linking the national capital with the Chekiang provincial capital for the first time in history. A new nitrates plant began operating in Nanking and construction ‘was begun on a $2,000,000 cotton mill at Taiyuanfu—the first factory of this type in that province. New Highways Opened. In December Academia Sinica com- pleted mg':dpened a huge new labora- tory, repol to have cost $3,000,000, in the Jesffield district of Shanghal. Equipped with modern scientific ap- paratus, it is sald to rank as the leading chemical and electrical experimental station in China. ‘Tungchumen airdrome, largest in China, with workshops, repair hangars and training school, was completed and opened at a cost of $300,000 at Nanking, the national capital, while new air services were inaugurated between Nanking, Sian and Sinkiang. China Merchants Steam Navigation Co. added two new passenger steamers to its coastal service and 2,100 1i (700 traffic Hunan , linking Changsha, the capital, with capitals of all bordering provinces. Four new trunk highways leading to important centers in the interior of Kiangsu were opened from Shanghai. In January a motor road linking Nanchang, capital of Kiangsi Province, with Canton, 1,500 miles to the south, was reported as half completed.

The Lung-hai Railway, central China's only east-west line, was extended an- other 40 miles, giving a run of 555 miles Hsuchowfu. With connection at point for Nanking and Shanghai, now possible to journey overland and northwesterly by rail in China for a distance of approximately 1,000 miles to within a day's trip of Sianfu, the ancient Honan capital of the T'ang Dynasty. Thirty-five new locomotives, ordered from Japan, Great Britain and America during the last five months, had arrived and were put into service. New Contracts Made. With the nation absorbed with the Sino-Japanese warfare at Shanghai and the government's efforts bent toward preparations for Nation-wide armed resistance against possible Japanese at- tempts at conquest of China, officially financed or subsidized projects (in which category belong the above mentioned) ceased entirely during February. Early March witnessed little activity, but with the prospect for peace in- creased toward the end of the month, preliminaries to the undertaking of a number of mining, economic and indus- trial enterprises are being made, in ccordance with the provisions of the ve-year plan. A few contracts have been made with foreign engineers and organizers for work on profects to begin at_once But Chinese press comment and public opinion is generally gloomy over the prospect of improved conditions for realization of the vast program. Govern- ment officials at Nanking state that as long as the shadow of war hangs over the nation the development of coal, iron, water power and other natural resources must be postponed.

Plans Real Receivership. “And when I say receivership,” Prof. Simpson explains, “I mean receivership —not quasi-receivership, a voluntary Citizens Committee, an advisory com- mission or a joint conference appointed by the Governor.” He would place such receivership under jurisdiction of State Supreme Courts, with no interference from Gov- ernors, Legislatures or other depart- ments of government. If the term receivership is objection- able for this use, Dr. Simpson suggests | the name “Reconstruction Committee” | be_applied. When ordered by petition from a specified number of creditors or taxpay=- ers, he explains, such a receivership | should be ordered and the city's affairs placed in the hands of the Reconstruc- tion Committee, consisting of not more than five members appointed by the court. “The creation of the receivership,” he says, “should suspend for the time being all creditors’ claims against the municipality and should make. all fiscal World’s Leading Hair & Scalp Specialists—45 Offices Suite 1050-51 Washington Bldg. and 15th St., N.
