EVIL DAYS FALL ON OLD PEIPING Removal of Governments Leaves Old Chinese Cap- ital Full of Gloom Shanghai, China, March 28. Pekin, the old Imperial Capital, now called Peiping, lies restive un- der the gloom of depression. Ac customed to the old glories, the ancient city has fallen upon hard times since the removal of the National Government capital to Nanking. Even the Provincial Government of Hopei has trans- ferred its activities from Peiping to Tslentsin, Many people in the south of China have failed to realize the financial losses sufferod by the in- habitants of the North since the Capital of Nationallst China was moved to Nanking, three vears ago. Shangai on the other hand owes much of its recent prosperity to its proximity to Nanking. In Pelping industry and trade have failed to prosper; various commercial undertakings have ex- perienced serious depression which, it not remedied soon, will the whole the. problem of restoring the for- mer prosperity of Peiping is a se- rious one, Historic City Pelping is one of the great his- toric cities of the Orient, with, such attractions as the Imperial Palace of the Chinese Empire, and one of the proposals on foot would make it a great centre for teur- ists. Tt is also suggested Pelping could be made an educational und cultural centre; the centre of handicraft industries; and the aeroplane base of China. Pelping, under various names, has been an Imperial Capital for nine centuries, with short except- fons. Its ancient avalls are in per- tect order. - Those of the oldest part of the city are 60 feet high; those of the larger Chinasa city dating from the 16th century, measure 30 feet in height. Pei- ping suffered severaly during tho Boxer rebellion and the seize of the legations in 1900. Most of the foreign buildings and a large number of {important Chinese buildings in the foreign quarter; were destroyed. deeply affect the social welfare of | north of China, So | Enclosed within the Tatar city is the "Imperial" City, which in turn encloses the old "Forbidden City," holding the Emperors' Pal- ace, The palace's halls, in their magnificent proportions and bar- baric splendor, are probably not to bo surpassed anywhere. The cause of the economic decline of the city is not difficult to ascertain, The fact that Peiping has been the cap- ital of China has made most of the people living there to be officials and retainers of the old govern- ment. The removal of the Capital, therefore deprived a great number of persons of their livellhood, be- cause most of the officials went to the South, and many who had ser- ved under them had to suffer ac- cordingly. Economic conditions in the city are bad at present; living expenses are low and many houses can he rented cheaply. Unemploy- ment is indeed a seriaus problem among various professions. The National government has been trying in some way to help develop trade and commerce in thq Northern Metropolis, remarks Huang Ching Shu in the CHINESH NATION. Recently, a special come mission, of which Chang Chi is the chairman, has been appointed Peiping. A Cultural Supervising Commission has also been 'organ« ized by the government to make Peiping the cultural and educa« tional centre ot the country.
