Korea'S Advance

Korea possesses customs service that is
excellcd nowhere in the world: At it's
head are Englishmen, Frenchmcn Italians
and representatives of other western lands
who, while not interested in politics, ex-
ert powerful influence for good upon the
whole management of the country Tho
tive open ports of Korea may expect to be-
come model settlements, as three of them
indeed already arc. The growing import
and export trade is slowly lcavening tho
whole interior of Korea and enlightcn-
ment cannot but result. Tho growing
coastwisc trade, by rendering local famincs
next to impossible, will make less probn-
BILE such popular uprisings as tIAt of the
Tong -haks and the righteous AMY for
these originated, as all uprisings in Korea
DO, in lack Of food This in turn should
render less necessary the maintaining of
standing army. Only such force would be
necessary us the thorough policing of the
country would demand.--Homer 3. HUI
