Ancient and Modern
Expensive newly imported modern cars, mingling with the traffic in # Nanking, China’s war-torn capital, formed a surprising feature, said Mr J. E. Ainsworth, formerly chief inspector for the Transport Department, Wellington, who has returned to New Zealand from being on loan as senior traffic adviser for Unrra. The traffic included rickshaws, pedicabs, one-wheel barrows, two-wjreeled rubber-tyred carts drawn by coolie or donkey, horsedrawn charries, three-wheeled motor cycles, motor lorries, jeeps, armytrucks and omnibuses.
