Washington.—The creation of the
world's newest proposed state has just
been proclaimed from what heretofore
has been known as “Manchuria,” The
announced sponsor for the projected
government is the northeastern admin-
istrative committee. So far, four
names have been bestowed on the new
state, in rapid succession: Ankuo,
Daldo (meaning “Great Union"), Man-
choukuo (“Land of Manchuria”), and
Tatung (“Great Unity”). Until a
name is finally settled upon, the new
territorial unit might well be called,
descriptively, “Manchuria plus Jehol,”
says a bulletin from the National
Geographic society.
“Although the name of the proposed
state scems to shift over night,” con-
tinues the bulletin, “its territorial
make-up is reasonably definite. In it
are included the three provinces that
heretofore have made up Manchuria:
Liaoning (also known as Fengtien and
a8 Mukden province), Kirin, and Hel
lung (also known as Amur province).
To these have been added Jehol, hith-
erto the adjacent province of Inner
Mongolia, to the west. The proposed
state thus starts with approximately
443,000 square miles, an area almost
as great as that of the Union of South
Africa.
“The fledgling state of Manchuria
and Jehol lies far in the north and
has a severe winter climate,
“In Asia's new territorial unit is a
population of approximately 33,500,000,
yet large regions are sparsely peo-
pled. The greatest density of popula

tion 1s In Liaoning, the southernmost
and smallest province; and the least
density is In Hellung, the northern-
most and largest. Among the cultivat-
ed sections are some of the most fer-
tile lands to be found in the world.
Large areas of tlilable land are still
undeveloped.
“The new state Is the world's lead-
ing grower of soy beans, producing
annually nearly a quarter of a billion
bushels. Approximately one-half the
production is exported. In the months
following harvest, long freight trains
loaded with beans, roll ceaselessly
down to the ports where ships of ev-
ery nation walt to transport them to
all continents. This bean traflic is
one of the chief sources of income for
the Manchurian railways.
“In addition to beans, there is a
heavy production of wheat, millet,
maize, and grain sorghum on the rich
acres of Manchuria and Jehol. The
live stock Industry reaches large pro-
portions in some regions. In the north
are extensive forests, and farther
south are vast coal flelds and sizable
deposits of iron ore
“In choosing a capital for the new
state, the committee passed over Muk-
den, long the capital of Manchuria,
and Harbin, the metropolis, and desig-
nated Changchun (also called Kuan
chengtzu), the third city In size. This
may have been dictated by a
desire to place the administrative ac-
tivities in a central location; for with
the addition of Jehol, Changchun be-
comes much nearer the geographic
center of the new state than Mukden,
and much nearer the population cen
ter than Harbin.
“like many other clties of Man-
churia, Changchun has an Old, Town

sprung up since 19000 and centers
around the Imposing station of the
Japanese railway. It has plazas and
parks, Its streets are broad, and its
bulldings modern. A mile and a third
away lles the Old Town, Inclosed by
a wall, save on the side bounded by a
tributary of the Sungari river. The
main street is surprisingly wide, but
there Is marked congestion In other

“Changchun has been called ‘the
meiting pot of Manchuria’ On its
streets, constantly astir with bustle
and excitement, one brushes shoulders
with Manchus, Mongols and Chinese,
Japanese, Russians, Europeans and
Americans. Primitive carts loaded
with sacked beans pass In long strings,
competing with oceasional motor
trucks. Passengers ride in Russian
droskles, jinrikishas, and American
motor ears.
“Added evidence that Changchun is
a melting pot comes when one views
its varied houses of worship. There
are Christian churches, Lamaist, and
Shinto temples, Mohammedan mosques,
and numerous shrines. Among the lat-
ter is one that might be called a Mam-
mon shrine. It Is for the veneration
of an oriental god of wealth”
