Excerpt from Manchuria: Land of Opportunities This handbook of the resources of Manchuria has been prepared for American readers in response to many requests for accurate and concise information concerning the opportunities for overseas trade and the facilities for travel in this ancient land of the Manchus. Perhaps nowhere else in the world today is there presented so amazing a transition from primitive agricultural life to twentieth century industry and scientific organization. Manchuria, since the close of the Russo-Japanese War, when the policy of the Open Door was inaugurated, has gone forward with great strides, absorbing Western ideas and developing her rich material resources. The record of this fifteen-year achievement in colonial enterprise is here set forth in facts and figures, with a careful avoidance of debatable questions of international politics. In the preparation of this book, the South Manchuria Railway has made use of all available official and authoritative sources of information, and has drawn freely from the "Economic History of Manchuria," published in 1921 by the Bank of Chosen.
