TIENTSIN TRADE ALMOST RUINED BY GUNS’ ROAR Many Firms Close Rug Business Sadly Crippled. Editor'! Note—Tklt is tu of ■ icrici af articles fcy Miles W. Yaarhn. United Press far east raanarer, whs recentlv romolctcd a twe naatbs' trip throucb northern China. by milesTwTvaughn United Press Staff ( or respondent TIENTSIN China, July 30. Trade in Tientsin, principal port lor a great area m north China, has been all but obliterated by the i war between thu coalitiro of northern militarists headed By Marshals Yen Shi-She.n and reng Yu-hsiang,' and the national government in Nanking. Many business firms already ha ve j closed their doors. The China industry, for which Tientsin and j ■ Peiping arc famous, has been crippled. The export trade from Mongolia, I the bulk of which ordinarily passes j through Tientsin, has all but l stopped because of the Mongol embargo on shipments into cr through Chinese territory, said to be inst it gated by Soviet Russia. ' Used to Hard Times Tientsin has been through hard times before, however, and possesses that capacity for rapid -recuperation noticeable in every Chi-! nese trade mart. % The Chinese have a flair for trade unexcelled by any people, and will continue to do business with guns roaring at the very doors of their shops. The Mongol embargo, combined with the irresponsible taxation set up by subordinates of Marshal Yen, has been the hardest blow to Tientsin's trade. In some cases a representative of the United States department of commerce here said, merchants are finding it advisable to transport cargo from the Mongolian borderline nearly all the way to Tientsin by camel train, rather than by rail. Tax Stations Set Up Commerce literally has gone back | to the days of Kublia Khan. The reason is simple. Tax stations are set up by each military commander at railway stations' in the areas he controls and the taxes are levied as cargo passes through. Military occupation, however, largely is confined to the railway rones and shippers, by employing camel trains, keep their goods Inland, away from railways, until they come to the head of navigation on the river system, which converges at Tientsin. Once a shipment reaches a river it can be loaded on junks in charge of Chinese agents who are expert at bargaining in event the junks encounter tax stations along the river. Bargains for Cut An agent often will hold his junk a week or more at a tax station wjiile he bargains for a reduction in the tax. If lucky he may run past the tax stations without detection at night. American trade has suffered greatly from this situation, for the United States is a big buyer of north j China and Mongolian products, wool, hides, skins and furs, sausage casings, bristles and manufactured goods. The Chinese producers have suffered more, of course. Many of them literally have been taxed out of existence. It would be a mistake, however, to picture north China as a starving land. Millions have died, it is rue, in some areas—notably Shensi Aid Kansu provinces—but the very | tragedy has relieved the situation by leaving fewer mouths to feed.

FROM MRS. RALPH RAHM, 54 North Belle Vieu place; WHEN life loses color and the appetite is blunted from feeding on dainties, it is time to take a vacation with Mother Nature. It is time to turn to her and the simple satisfying things of blithe and hearty living. ‘•Cliff and trail, oar and sail, clouds above a height: Brans and bacon, blisters achin', campfires gleaming bright.” These, and not the appurtenances of civilization, are the things I most enjoy for absolute rest of mind and body. tt tt tt FROM MRS. WILEY C. DOR- | SETT, Danville, Ind.: ALONG ride brings you to the Michigan boundary line. You | see caution signs reading, “Deer on roadway at night.” You start back to the northern I peninsula of Michigan. The going gets rough; you leave the car. Your guide takes you in a “woods” Ford. Underbrush is heavy. You leave the car carrying your packs and reach camp. It is cold enough for heavy coats- Presently you see a deer and, perhaps, a cub bear. There are miles and miles of lakes around you and fish everywhere. At night you swap stories around a glowing campfire. The day ends. This is my ideal vacation.
