Abstract
Although many arguments have been advanced why China cannot afford to give up Manchuria, there is one very important reason which has not yet been brought up before. People are right in maintaining that the Northeastern Provinces are China’s granary, that they are China’s most valuable mining districts, that they serve as an excellent outlet for our surplus population. The point is however neglected that Manchuria is at the same time the only existing breeding ground of some of the qualitatively better elements in the population of China. This last point is the one that I propose to deal with in this chapter.
