Dairen, July 1.
Until recently a desolate shore line fon the other side of the bay and on clear days visible from Dairen, Kansel shi to-day is a flourishing industrial, centre gracing extensive factory buildings of the Manchuria Chemical Industry Ca, a ¥.25,000,000 undertaking, and the Manchuria Petroleum Ca, which is capitalized at ¥.5,000,000. "Soon to be added are factory buildings of the Manchuria Soda Manufacturing Ca, capitalized at ¥.8,000,000. All three are key netional industries for both Japan and Manchoukuo. A vast water reservoir and a powerful generating plant als> have been built.
Then, too, there is there a modern pier, 455 metres long, together with network of railway feeders and minor quays greatly to facilitate the supely of raw materials and. the marketing of finished products. Homes for the thousands that man these industries are appearing like magic, and even nbw represent a community the size of a creditable town.
With good water frontage and excellent railway connections, Kanselshi definitely has the advantage over such inland centres as Mukden, With Manchoukuo-Japan trade steadily mounting, this geographic advantage gives Kanseishi an immeasurably brighter future than many of the mote established industrial cities of Manchoukuo.
The main thing about Kanseisht is that its reclaimed - shorelands are capable of accommodating many other industries variously contemplated both by Japan and Manchoukuo.
