Taiwan, better known to the outside world as Formosa, is an island-province of Free China situated between Japan and the Philippines about 150 miles off the southeastern coast of the Mainland of China. It is located in the sub-tropics. The Tropic of Cancer crosses the middle part of the Island. Taiwan proper is shaped like a tobacco leaf, measuring about 240 miles north to south and about· 90 miles at its widest part. Its total area of approximately 14,000 square miles is less than one-half the size of the State of South Carolina (USA) but its present population (about 10,500,000) is almost five times that of South Carolina.
