a. The Tungchin-Hulutao Line

This is the first line that radiates from this projected Manchurian railway center, and is the shorter of the two direct lines that lead to the ice-free ports on the Liaotung-Chihli Gulf. It runs almost parallel to the South Manchurian Railway, the distance between the two lines being about 80 miles at the northern end, con- verging to 40 miles at Sinmin, and diverging again after that point. According to the original agreement with the former Russian Government, no parallel line within 100 miles was allowed to be built. But such restriction must be abolished under this new Interna- tional Development Scheme for the benefit of all con- cerned. This line starts from Tungchin, and proceeds southward across the vast Manchurian plain by Chang- ling, Shuangshan, Liaoyuan, and Kangping, to Sinmin
