     Japan took advantage of Chinese defeats in Inner Mongolia. The southeastern portion of Chahar was converted into the autonomous state of South Chahar (Ch’a-nan), with headquarters at Kalgan. The autonomous state of North Shansi (Chin-pei) was carved out, with its capital at Tatung. The largest, the United Leagues of Mongolia, including all Suiyuan and most of Chahar, was administered from Kweisui. A fourth unit, the Federal Council of the Mongolian Borderland (Meng Chiang), was planned by the Japanese. The governments of these marionette states were held by the bayonets of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

     Between Paotow and Kweisui in the northeastern corner of the Ordos Desert, hundreds of miles of irrigation canals were dug during the 1920’s with the hope of irrigating several hundred thousand acres. Large amounts of government and famine relief money were invested, and modern engineering works were constructed. The project proved largely a failure and is now almost abandoned.

     A second important minority in Suiyuan Province is the Muslim group. Varying estimates are made of its numerical strength, but it appears that there are now probably about 20,000 Muslims in the province, concentrated mainly in the cities of Paotow and Kweisui. They are intermingled with the Han Chinese majority, however, and even Chinese newcomers to the province often have difficulty identifying Suiyuan Muslims unless they are wearing distinctive skull caps.
