2008-11-17 Terre Haute News, Terre Haute, Indiana HISTORICAL TREASURE: Golden age of American cast iron banks lasted from 1869-1910

The book I used as a reference had a couple of illustrations of banks. One was Paddy and his Pig, which might have been the inspiration for the Piggy Bank. Another was a man and his dog. The man was holding a hoop and when a coin was deposited and a lever pulled, the dog jumped through the hoop. We have a cast iron bank in our home. It has a patriotic theme in red, white and blue with the Liberty Bell on top. Drop in a coin, pull a lever, and it rings the Liberty Bell. But its no antique. It was made in Taiwan.

We were told by international affairs "realists" at Cold Wars end that America would not be allowed to continue owning the worlds largest gun, that other great powers would necessarily balance us symmetrically by creating one of their own. This has not happened and isnt close to happening anywhere, not even with "rising China," whose military build-up specifically targets our ability to target their ability to target Taiwans ability to defend itself.

Now, with the Kuomingtangs return to power on the island, were looking at the near-term demise of the Taiwan war scenario between the U. S. and China. Based on the agreements in the works and those envisioned, Taiwan will enter into a Hong Kong-like relationship with the mainland on economic terms while deftly tabling the issue of political sovereignty.

Entrenched operators will also face more competition as soon as 2010, as Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and Japan liberalize gambling laws. And China is starting to limit how many times mainland gamblers are allowed to visit sites like Macau. This last restriction has already reduced Galaxys profit margins and cash flow during the first half of 2008.

Tsang says the companies rapid expansions "continue to dog the sector" and could lead to delays or cancellations of projects. Among those at risk, Tsang says, are large resort projects in Cotai, Macau, by Galaxy and Melco Crown, and another by Genting in Singapore. Crowns planned move to break into the U. S. market might also be delayed.
