CHINA TO-DAY
PRIMITIVE GOMHUNIftATIOHS STATEMENT BY MINISTER. ]?rc*s A'flfxualiou —By Telegraph—Copyright. SHANGHAI. July 20. According to a statement issued by Dr Wang Pao-chen, the Nationalist Minister of Communications, China’s communication systems, with the exception of the postal service, are still primitive, and, though they have been organised for scores of years, they are on the verge of bankruptcy. The Government possesses only half the rolling stock it held in 1915, and there are huge quantities of nntransported goods. Very serious corruption exists. Loans issued in connection with communications exceed 700,000,000d0l. —Australian Press Association.
