CHINAMAN STUDYING RAILWAYS WINNIPEG. Man.. Feb. 10. "China anticipates tremendous development after the war and the yardstick: Insofar as this development is concerned will be railway transportation. We have only about 9,000 miles of railway in China at the present time and in Winnipeg making a complete in-srectlon of the Winnipeg terminal of the Canadian National i Railways and its communications I system. China will expand a ve.ry great deal as soon as conditions allow but we fully realize that the main cog in the machinery of our sound expansion will b? railway transportation. We have remendous natural resources of minerals that we ourselves will need and also other world countries 'will need. We must get them to seaboard. We have plenty of manpower but our t. asportation facilities have been very limlttd so far and we realize that one of our first great problems will be more railroads. "I have been on this continent for more than two years on this particular trip and have spent most of this time studying ths railway operating condition In raiuoads. I am am concentratine concentrating on on three phases operating, engineering and radio communica-1 Hons. The latter phase will be j most Important to us after the war and we plan much expansion along these lines.. 'China will send many of our best technical experts to this country after the war In an effort to become familiar with all the latest trends and developments In railway transportation. I have learned much on this trip. Our railway system In China is government owned and, as we have similar weather conditions to yours In both summer and winter. I find the operation of the Canadian National Railways a most Interesting study," stated Mr. Chao. Mr. Chao speaks excellent English although he rfcived his entire education lh China. He also speaks several other languages Including French. He leaves for Ottawa on the first leg of his return Journey to China this evening. ,- BRITISH GENERALS VISIT CANADIANS IN ITALY -General Sir Allan Brooke, chief of the Imperial general staff, is shown here (centre) with General Sir Bernard Montgomery during his visit to Canadian units of the Eighth Army In Italy.
