This article focuses on the socio-political issues. The announcement in the "New York Times" of the invention of a new baby motor car that will retail for $200 has aroused much interest and some horror. Into the troubled sleep of traffic officers such an invention will bring nightmares reminiscent of the plague of locusts; and city planners who have dreamed of ridding in streets of congestion during this generation will throw up their hands in despair. The treaty port press of the Far East is a phenomenon unique in the history of journalism, and the foreign correspondents in China today occupy a position utterly unlike that of their colleagues in Western Europe. These newspapers and these correspondents are not subject to the ordinary domestic laws of China.
