OB. lj. instrumental with Dr Ting and lr Lagrellius in creating the Kreuger fund. However I do not feel the slightest disheartoned, because I am fully eonvinced that Dr Ting and yourself will find the means to make the areheological publications worthy of the very fine material. If the payments from the Tsai Cheng Pu are not fortheoming at the desired speed, I hope that something can be obtained from the various Boxer Indemnity funds, To dö our part in the spirit of our previous charming cooperation, Mr Legrelius and I have begun to form here in Stockholm a small readjustment fund which will allow us, always to charge the Geological Survey Of Ohina only the rates once agreed upon, In this way you will have the very consider- able advantage of getting with no trouble for your staff about proof reading ete. the good Sweålsh printing product at the same cost as stated for printing in Peking. I will, as the work proceeds, forward to you more elaborate plans about the archeological publications whieh now begin to take shape. I feel sure that Dr Ting and you agree with me that the areheological publicationa shoulå be edited in such a way as to do full justice to the very fine material At last I feel sure that the small but unfortunate Young ineldent, for which I am alone responsible, has been explained to your full satisfaction and I am confident that we will carry the publications through in the same = very fine spirit of friendship and complete confidence, thanks to which we so successfully overcame the far larger dangers of the collecting period. Yours very devotedly

0818, 3: Let us now proceed to discussing the needs for printing the future Swedish contributions to the Paleontologia Sinica, You will first recolleect that I wished from the beginning that savings from my salary should be used only for printing papers based upon material collected by me and my private assistants. However, when Dr Ting wiehed to use part of these savings for other papers on invertebrate fossils, I agreed to such &n arrangement. Later came Dr Tings very good errangement witn the sinking fund | formed partly from my salary savings., I agreed also to this arrangement, only with the statement that I left it entirely in the hands of you and Dr Ting to see to that in the future funds were available for the payment of the papers based upon my collections, I do not suggest in any way that the sinking fund should be touched, but leave it with full confidence to Dr Ting and yourself to see to that the papers will be paid for as soon as they are fortheoming. when I returned to Sweden there was still an amount of 21.000 erowns left of the Kreuger fund and - as well known to you - I suggested that this amount should be divided into three parts, one for Wiman, one for Halle and one for meg My intention with this arrangement was to make elear to these two colleagues the necessity of economy specially in the use of hellotype plate: However, after having reed your last letter, Mr Lagrelius and I have decided that 1t would be better to pay all the printing cost here in Stockholm from the remains of the Kreuger fund as long as it lasts. The papers of Zdansky, Miller and Young now in print as well as professor Halles very large memolr will very likely entirely exhaust the Kreuger fund as far as we can see at present. On this point you will receive detailed information as soon &s the said papers are completed, You will note that with this arrangement of using the Kreuger fund, as long as it lasts, irrespective of the kind of publications, I will face the beginning of areheological publications entirely mmtysk empty-handed., This may seem a little hard to me who originated all this enterprise and was

O8!2, 24 Tnis depborable state of affairs had arisen in the way that Mr Lagrelius, anxious to help the scientific editors, had allowed the printing to go on upon the mere promise that additional funds would be raised. At the end Mr Lagrelius himself had to ralse from private donator: the funds to pay these debts, and I have taken no inconsiderable part in the efforts which led to the final straightening out of the large debts of Dr Hedin and Professor Hordenskjöld. When these two deplorable affalrs were finally settled, I suggested to Mr Lagrelius, that whatever happens, we will never allow any new paper to begin being printed before all previous accounts are settled - a very sound measure to avoid the accowmlation of debts, as was the case in the two mentioned instances. when Mr Lagrellus reported to me that the bills foörwarded to you already in Peking had sö far not been paid and he hesitated to begin the printing of Young”s paper, I adviced him to postpone the printing of this paper when asking you to remit the money to cover tha outstanding bllls. However, when we learnt from Wiman that Nr Young was in Upsala får the purpose of printing his paper, we instantly ordered tie beginning of printing,es we were speecilally anxious to make all possible aceomodation for this charming and able young Chinese collaborator. ; If you have felt för a moment when you wrote to me the 5th of July some irritation about the mentioned passade in är Lagrelius letter which indicated some delay in the beginning of printing Mr Young”s paper, I hope that my very frank and exhaustive explanation as glven above will have removed all possible misgunderstanding. After having cleared up this ineldent I ask you for the future to join me än and Mr Lagrellius in the opinion that no new paper should be begun before the previous papera have been paid for, I feel from very unpleasant experience in the Hedin and Nordenskjöld cases that this is the only way of avoiding the accumulation of unpald bills,

08. Stockholm August 12, 1927. Dr Wong Wen Hao, Director of the Geological Survey of China, Feng Sheng Hutung 3, West City, PEKING. Dear Dr Wong, I now &0 to reply to your letter of July 5, 1927 re the costs of printing the Swedish contributions to the Paleontologia Sinica. First with reference to our agreement that an account of the status of the Kreuger fund should be submitted to you every year I refer to the explanation on this point which has been upon my request forwarded by Mr Lagrelius. I understand from this communication that a statement on the Kreuger-fund wast submitted to you by the end of 1925 but that no correspond- ing statement was sent by the end of last yeer, this apparently because of the absence of both Mr Lagrelius and me, from Sweden, for which negleet I have to apologize to you most respeotfully. With reference to the passage in Mr Lagrellus”letter to you about his intention to postpone the printing of Mr Young! s article it is all my fault and needs & full explanation. When I returned to Sweden AA 1925 I learnt from lr Lagreliu that two large seilentific publications, issued by two of my best friends, had not been fully paid by the two editors with the deplorable effect tnat the two men were deeply in debt to Lagrelius” firm, The one was Dr Sven Hedin who for his Southern Tibet had contracted a debt of sönotködag like 200.000 Swed. (Crowns, the other Professor Nordenskjöld, who for his Antaretic publication was in debt to the amount of 30.000 crowns.
