CHINA IS WELL OFF IN NATURAL WEALTH Celestial Students Say Native Country Suffered Through Bad Manchu Rule. NEW YORK, Jan. 13. —China is yet destined to play a large part in the worlds affairs, despite the present gloomy outlook, according to the now publication of the New York Chinese Students’ club. In the view of the members of this club, which has its home at No. 225 East Thtrty-flrst-st., China has fallen behind in the keen contest of nations not because she is lacking in wealth or resources, but because of a weak government given the country by the Manchus. “In spite of China’s weakness. ' says the students' publication, The Annual, “her loyal and thoughttul sons aVe consoled in their grief by the un- doubted fact that she possesses all the possibilities of becoming one of the greatest powers on earth. It is doubtless true that there are some of us who have entirely lost sight of this fact and have plunged ourselves Into undue misery by believing China to be a total wreck, with nothing at all worthy of due estimation.” While China is In the throes of a devastating civil war, with no one able to say whether It will remain under the dominion of the Manchus or become a republic, constructed by Dr. Sun and Wu Ting-Fang on the lines of the United States, the edi- tors of The Annual point with pride to the resources of their great coun- try. They declare that It needs only reasonably good government to make It one of the great powers of modern times. "As to her natural resources.” de- clare they, “China has no equal. Her mineral supplies seem to be practic- ally inexhaustible. Coal and Iron, twin pillars of modern industry, ex- ist in quantities unsurpassed by any country. The coal-bearing areas alone nave been estimated at 419,000 square miles. This statement may seem to be exaggerated, hut, nevertheless. If one will investigate, one will find it to be a solid fact. Harou Richtofen. ft Herman, after a laborious investiga- tion. submitted to the Herman gov- ernment a report of the coal and Iron resources of China, showing that they aro the finest in the world, in the province of Shansi alone, he rej>orfed, enough coal to auply the whole hu- man race several thousand years. Be- sides these coal and Iron supplies, there are mines of precious atones, gold, silver, nickel, and copper, to be found everywhere in the empire .“Owing to her rich soil and salubri ous climate. China’s agricultural pro- ductions are as plentiful and excel- lent in quality as her mineral re- sources. No wonder the great pow- ert of Europe have been so long straining their nerves to the utmost to obtain a foothold within the Chi- nese empire Fortunately, we are pro soundly aware of his fact. With this knowledge we will strive to develop our country hv -h veloplng all that makes for her strength and great- ness.” A very’ high order of Intelligence is claimed for the Chinese people as a class, and the standing taken by Chi- nese students in tlna country a great universities, is made U> bear witness of that fact.
