‘GHINESE PROBLEMS ' 'BEING WORKED 0UT Notionelist Govt. Autboriie Trying [mprovements s e | Hankow, July 15. (UP)—Nation- | alist Government. authorities are | working -on plams designed to bring | about far-reaching extensions and improvements. in China’'s systems of | communicaticns, Sun Fo, son of the | late Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Minister ! of Communications in the National- | ist Government, told the United Press in an interview here. These plans. Sun frankly, admit- ted, are necessarily things of the fu- | ture, rather than of the present. Wars are in progress, revenue is relatively .scanty and now largely | diverted to military affairs, and| while ;the Wuhan Nationalist Gov- | ernment tights for .ts existence | there can be no widespread com- munjcations improvements. | “Unitication of the country must cpme first,” explained Sun. “Once | tHat is accomplished, we purpose to | 'puit through a comprehensive séheme of administrative changes | l%king for an efficiency which will | greatly increase . government rev- epues witheut burdening the people. | }“National révenues can be made | tBree times the present amount | thin“a year of the time we under- | 4ke this, we believe. This will be due solely to more efficient admin-{ ssration. We have already shown tHat it can be done. In Kwantung| pfovince the yearly revenues used to | bé thipty-five million Mexican dol- lars; we increased this to around $100,000,000 by the ~efficient and hpnest goverhmental methods and without increasing the Burdens on ! the people.” i iThe land tax is at present based on the old Manchu figures compiled | 700 years ago Sun’continued. Now this tax is wholly out of date, for | #, took into account land yields and arket prices of these yields which afe today meaningless. Some fea- tures are laughable, he declared. Families are taxed for land they s0ld perhaps fifty years ago, simply because tHelr names still appear on the tax.books 28 Owners; new own- ers escape Without fax because they are not listed as ‘owners. B Sun explained something of the new policy ‘on’ land distribution in amplification of the tax statement. In Hunan province, ten million peasants have been organized into peasants’ unicns as a first step to- ward improving both their condi- | tion and that of the government. | First the landless peasants, a vir- tual serf class, came into the unions; next came those who were barely selt-sufficient and finally the so- called “rich peasants” who are able to make a small yearly profit. TLand taxes have in the past been collected from a landlord class who were united against alterations in rate or practice. The landlords in turn collected as high as eighty per centy of the yearly yield as rental, making it necessary for their tepants to chop wood and engage in similar ‘enterprises to subsist. Now | the maximum rent has been set by | law at forty per cent of the yieid, ! and plans are on foot to eliminate: the large landholders altogether, | obtaining the land for the govern- ment 'and parceling it out to the peasants who would then pay taxes direct to the government. ‘Apparently the plan for taking over the land is not thoroughly rre- pared. There'may be expropriation on a scheme of gradual payment to the landlord-from the proceeds of fature taxes; Figures so far compiled indicate that by.direct collection of taxes from. the' land workers, apound- Mex. $50,000,000 (about U. S.. $25,000,000) can be obtained in Hunan instead of the present $300,- 040, and that the government sNould net Mex. $30,000,000 after aying the share of the landlords. "iWidespread work must be done in a numoer of directions, Sun con- tipued. Village Government must be reorganized. or rather organized for the first time to replace the present condition- of virtual anarchy. Lut with all this work well under way, m"a complete national revenues should - total more than a billlon Mex. dollars a year in place of the present $400,000,000, and com- mhnicattons systems will be among the first beneficiaries. ! ork_contemplated included ac- | cqrding to Sum, railway building, port development, highways, city bpilding and . renovation of old als:and construction of new ones a}well_as dike building-and other rij er conservancy work. One of the biggest jobs which will receive priority is completion ot the Hankow-Canton railway, Sun sald.
