Transport In China

The National Broadcasting Company at its affiliated stations present the Pacific story. This is the story of the Pacific. The drama of the millions of people who live around this greatest sea where the United States is now committed to a long-term policy of keeping the peace.

This as another public service of the National Broadcasting Company is the background story of the events in the Pacific and their meaning to us and to the generations to come. Transport in China. You are starving! What can we do? Must we starve with all this food piled up here?

Enough for all your people? Hello, mine! How can we get it to your region? You must! There are no railways to your region, and not enough water in these streams that season to float us up on our roads!

They are no more than ancient paths. The war trucks went over them? We have no trucks. Can nothing be done? Good friend, we will send all the dark hearts and wheelbowls, and coulees can carry.

We will starve. A Coulee, a human beast of burden, can carry 125 pounds about 15 miles a day. For this he earns a few pennies. But transportation by Kool-E in China is many times more expensive than by railway in the United States.

It takes many Kool-E's to carry as much as a railway car. And even millions of Kool-E's cannot meet China's enormous post-war transportation needs. Now compensate for the evils that have resulted from China's lack of transportation.

Because of lack of transportation, we have suffered many famines. So say thinking Chinese. Because of lack of transportation, we have been backward in the development of our natural resources. We have had many internal disorders and national humanity has been a greater problem.
