CHINA’S PLIGHT
HARD WINTER AHEAD. (Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Recd. Nov. 13, 1 p.m.) PEKIN, November 12. The anniversary of Sun Yat Sen’s birthday, which recently added to the rapidly growing list of Chinese national holidays, was celebrated with a display of official enthusiasm here to-day, when the city was decked with the Kuomintang colours, and a crowd of about six thousand attended an open-air meeting, at which inspiring speeches were made by Kuomintang leaders. Despite the tremendous efforts of Kuomintang propaganda experts; no great amount of popular fervour was noticeable, for which the prevailing business depression and unusually cold weather, were probably jointly responsible.. Thousands who heretofore lived fairly comfortably have been reduced almost to pauperism as the result of the transfer of the capital to Nanking, and they are now largely pre-occupied with the problem of scraping somehow through What threatens to be an exceedingly hard winter for the bulk of the population.
