A large portion of the expenditure was
paid with the wheat from the American
loan, while a small portion for the
dyke repairing along Yangtse and Han
Rivers in Hupeh, since December 1932,
was from the Hupeh dyke fund
The works here mentioned were carried
out from December 1931 to December
1933. Those which were left incomplete
by the National Flood Relief Commis¬
sion when it ceased to exist in August
1932 were taken over and completed by

Under consideration
Engineers are being sent out to make
thorough investigations
Various projects, charts and maps have
been collected and brought to Europe
by Mr. F. J. M. Bourdrez, the National
Economic Council’s adviser of hydraulic
engineering, for consultation with
M. Omodeo, a prominent hydraulic
engineering expert, as to the feasibility
of the projects
