Two difficulties besot this plans (1) the vandalism of the departing '~.'

materials. 14a wood pulp la available at present. The principal source of pulp
Is waste cotton Pram Chi-nun?a weaving industry supplemented by rage and waste

is also cn obstacle tc optlvnm eapaasicn.
The large eluffiaum plant established at 1Caa.-tang by the Japaaeao is 'being
partially operated ae s cement plant at preaeat, producing 300 tone a da,7.
According 1;a Japanese surveys, bauxite reaorres of 60-percent elumimzm content

The Hain-hue Company is an crgsnization be~sn with very small capital by
a group of determined. men during the early Says of 1lberatic~~.. It r.~aw has four
ehoga employing 1,300 persona and retail stores in Chi-asn, Yen-t?ai, and other
places. The company has its own bottle and c ton faatary. It manufactures s
variety of medicines, largely Chinese type. They have developed a member of
new aombinntionrr of organih medicines, and produce 28,000 unite of one-cubic-
millimeter in,~ectioa medicines, 15,000 tablets, 100 eats of surgical appliances
sad 300,000 first-aid kite a mon+.h. The employees are all war veterans with
maw years of industrial ezperience.
The Ministry of Iadnetry sad Mining has under its control in the ~raviace
68 production ualta, nit Sncluding those la Ch'ing-too. Half of these are
coaneated with the mllit~ry. At present 62,000 workers ere employed in these
industries.
the Lu-fang Ceramics Company presents poaeibilitiea for a good future.
Their m~sin prodhate now are fireb,~'ek and electric inaulatore. There are
abundant ddmestia supplies of raw materials for this induetrg, each as quartz,
granite, slay, soapetoae, etc., as well se iron, steel, and coking coal. The
company still Oacks plait facilities to perform at optimium capacity. The
Ministry of Industry sad Mining hao indicated its i~erest in providing aeeiet-
naoe to this plant.
The General Chemiral Plant was originally a military plant with a monthly
production goal of 15 tons of gun cotton and 45 tone of nitrog]ycerine. This
pIrnnt has now assumed two further responsibilities, that of coke manufacture
:rd tho dcvolopmert of phosphorous and sulfur deposits at Hof-thou.
Thb General Chomical Fsatary should produce 3 tons a day of conosatrated
95 percent nitric sold. Thee requires dai?~ production of 6 tons of 50-Hanna
sul.thric void as raw material. There is little difficpl$y involved here eiroe
an abundance of iron auli`ide !e available is the Tz'u-ch'uan--Po-ehea area.
Liquid nitrogen is available irons Shang-hai sad probably can be bought mare
economloelly from that area that it can be produced locally.

The iPortheast Railway Ar?m1nietratina has annaunned that after trial in the
Vehicle Snepertioa Section, use of the forge would be eatenfled to all railroad
faatoriae on t~beir lime and to every section..
It has a19o been decided to award tho 1IICeIItOr9 with 50,000 yaxan and a oi-
tetion. The Chief of the 16ortheaet Railroad Administration, Yu %I~ang-~heng (Ueda:
253, 5~?, 2461), has persanalJy written theme a latter eaia?escing hie app?'eaiatioa?
The results of a feet, conducted on the electric forges manufactured by
featcaiee in IIa-are-gin, were found to b? very favorable. The following features
were noted:
9.'neee fo2?gee era portable anfl can be put into operation at onne wherever elec-
tric current is available. They save the espenee and bather of aharnoal, require
ao taahnioal eupea?vielon, and can be operated by one work+ar. They can heat rivets
measuring one belt to one inch in diameter and one to 2 inches is length, in from
Itl eeao~ads to a minute. Since the eleotrin current used is only 1.5?2.5 volts, the
worbere are not endangered.
Sleatric nurreat 1e used only for the time that the rivets are being heated
ea that the e3.eatric power nonsumptioa is not great. The forges do not emit smoke
or anal duet; therefore, the health oP the workex?e Se eefeguarded. The forge
is agnippod with four sd,uetmente to regulate the heat.
