China's attempts to stamp out the growing trade in the one product Chinese were eager to buy brought her into armed conflict with the British in 1839. The Anglo-Chinese War, or “Opium War,” quickly revealed the superiority of Western arms and the astonishing impotence of the Manchu government. y the Treaty of Nanking in 1842, four more rts besides Canton were opened; extraterritoriality—the jurisdiction of foreign powers over their own nationals—was recognized; and the “most-favored-nation” clause required that any concession granted to one nation was auto matically granted toall. China attempted to ignore the treaty and, in 1856, Britain and France seized pretexts. to launch another war. A series of treaties in 1858 opened more ports, levied more indemnities, gave Europeans their long-sought diplomatic recognition, the right to travel freely in China and protection for missionaries. Still China was not reconciled to reality. In 1860, after the Europeans sacked Peking and burned the Summer Palace, China agreed to a new convention widening the provisions of all the others she had been brought by the scruff of the neck to sign. In 1858, Russia had wrested 185,000 square miles of Manchuria from the beleaguered Man- square miles, including the port of Viadivostok In the mid-19th century, not only the Eu ropeans but chronic floods and famines and a phenomenon called the Taiping Rebellion rav- aged China. Launched in 1850 by Hung Hsinchuan, who saw visions andcalled himself the Younger Brother of Christ, it spread rapidly in southern China, Hung hoped todrive out the Manchus and establish a communistic society (T’ai-p'ing T’ien-kuo, or “Heavenly Kingdom of Great Peace”) based on his version of Chris- tianity. Not until 1864, after claiming 20 million lives, was the “Great Peace” pacified with the help of a European-trained army Thus the West propped up the sagging Manchu dynasty with one hand while rending it asunder with the other, chus.

Merchants expect much of the $3 billion annual loss to shoplifters and thieving employes to happen in this holiday season. But Roger Leyden of Chicagobelieves this loss could be trimmed by using oneof his anti-shoplifting devices, like the Kord-Kontrol.It’s a long, ropelike cord which ties items of merchandise together loosely enough so they can be handled and examined by customers— and shoplifters, The wire core of the cord is Hollywood, A City of powered alarm that goes off when the cord is pulled, tampered with or severed.

We'd be inviting trouble.

He learned that shoplifters often work in pairs. “One guy distracts the salesman, the other steals,” he explained.

Gentile, Jew, Moslem,atheist all work and fight together with seldom a thought to religious faiths, or lack of them. Christmas and the Hebrew celebration of Chanukkah fall roughly into the same few weeks. The blue lights of Chanukkah and the Star of David illuminate the night beside the red and green decorations of Christmas. On almost any set you may find a Catholic star, a Protestant director, a Jewish producer—vr the other way around, or any combination. The men and women who provide the bulk of the nation’s entertainment are even beyond the jocular state of conscious awareness of religious difference.
