Politics vs. Geography
SINKIANG (New Dominion) is twice as big as France. It has something less than 5.000.000 inhabitants. It is the largest province of China and may conceivably be the richest. Sinkiang is one of the areas in the world where politics and geography combine tn make a kind of explosive amalgam full of meaning to those who are curious about what is going to happen to the world. Geography leans Sinkiang toward Russia. The Soviet TurkSib railroad runs a few miles from its frontier. All the consumers’ goods we saw in Tihwa came from Russia: the cars we rode in were Russian: the army we saw drove Russian tanks. But politics leans the province back toward China, I dined with Governor Sheng in Tihwa, and the Soviet consul general dined with us. We toasted each other and the three countries from which we came in Russian vodka and in Chinese rice wine, and there was no hint of anvthing but eordial friendships between Russia and China,

Country Is China's Hope
IN THE SECOND place, every |
Chinese leader I talked to spoke of the northwest and the present struggle to open its riches with transport, co - operatives, and modern science, as China's fundamental hope in the against Japan and in the great task of building a strong. modern nation which will follow the peace. In Lanchow I saw the terminal of the Russian highway, the one land route into modern China, The Chinese end of the road, where there is neither roadbed nor gasoline nor trucks, fits much more appropriately the historical traditions of the highway, Instead of trucks, the Chinese use carts, eamelsz and coolies, Soviet freight, which takes four dave from the frontier to the Kansu border, takes 70 more days to reach Lanchow, And still it has not reached A railhead, but must travel davs and days farther by the most primis tive transport imaginable before it debouches into the populated parts of China where it is so desperately needed. 8 #4 4
Haul Takes 2 Months
OUTSIDE LANCHOW, between the airport and the city, we saw a Chinese caravan being formed for the long haul back toward Russia made up of small, twowheeled mule carts, rubber-tired --strangely, to my rubbers conscious eyes—and piled high with weol and salt and tea. The mules were standing patiently in a row which must have been some miles long, the coolies next to them, waiting for the order to start, They would he plodding westward for more than twp months, I was told, before they could exchahge their cargo for the pasoline airplane parts, engines and ammunition which the Soviet Union ie still shipping to China, largely on eredits which have now reached a staggering total, The road is a shoestring heing used to support an enormous weight. If the shoestring breaks, we shall all be the losers. Except for the Ametican alpe planes which fly in from India over the Himalayas, and smuggling which seeps through the entire front against Japan, it is China's only link with the world
