FOR THE OPEN DOOR
A SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCE BY
COUNT oKUMA OF JAPAN.

Count Okuma, one Of Japan's eminent
statesmen, has contributed an Interesting
article on Manchuria and Korea to the Sun
Trade Journal Of Tokyo for June, which
has special significance at this time. The
needs of Japan for the open door In Man
churta and Korea are plainly set forth.
Within little more than generation
Japan's population has increased from
thirty to fifty millions, which is mainly due
to it's adoption of methods of western civili-
zation. This large increase in population
leads Count Okuma to point out Japans
limited resources for feeding its people he
says:
Agriculture failing to feed the people,
the subsistence Of our nation. AS fields for
commercial activity for Japan no countries
can be more suitable than Manchuria and
Korea, where our influence is being rapidly
established
The combined area Of Manchuria and
Korea is three times that of Japan, while
the population of Japan is twice as large
as that of the two cuntries first named.
Manchuria and Korea produce more food
stun than they can consume, and therefore
Japan can safely depend on them for this
class OF necessary supplies Modern meth
DDS and machinery, the Introduction OF
which may reasonably be expected to fol-
Russia and Japan. will largely increase the
productive power of Manehuria and Korea
count Okuma recognizes this, and states
that "a prosperous commerce will be estab-
hshed in the far east by Japan importing
raw material from. and exporting manu-
factured goods to, the continent Of Asia"
Continuing he says:
Manchurian wheat Is said to be superior
in quality to Canadian wheat, but the most
promising enterprise in Manchuria will be
the plantation of beets for the manufac-
fure OF sugar. The Manchurian climate is
similar to the German, so the raising Of
beets Is quite as feasible there as in Ger
many. Already Japan consumes about 25O-
OOO tons of sugar year We may be abe
not only to discontinue sugar imports from
Germany but to export refined sugar to
Manchuria.
The object OF the war Is the open door
and not territorial occupation. The suzer-
ainty of Manchuria must be returned to
until order has been restored and it's future
safety guaranteed. Then we may expect
great industrial prosperity there. The
economic loss sustained by us on account
OF the war Will be more than balanced by
the profit we shall derive from the economic
exploitation of Manchuria. This will form
basis for the solution of the population
problem of Japan.
1t Is mistaken opinion that japanese
occupation of Manchuria and Korea is of
primary importance In order to push for
Japan. by this war, has obtained a pre-
dominant position in Manchurian and
Korean economics and the present is the
moment when the question of exploiting
those countries ought to be economically
solved

Economy

Replying to the charge that certain
popular proprietary medicines contain
narcotic drugs, an authority says:
Some years ago one of the leading
pharmacists Of America, in connection
with some official work, undertook to
ascertain, by an elaborate inquiry in
representative cities Of the country,
what percentage Of physicians pre-
scriptions contained a narcotic drug
of some kind. Out OF 100000 repre-
sentative prescriptions, dispensed in
drug stores in all parts Of the United
States, it was found that 20 per cent
contained opium or some one of its
preparations.
proprietary medicines are almost
invariably accompanied by the most
detailed and specific directions for use,
while, the directions accompanying
physicians prescriptions are generally
very brief and sometimes illegble. 1t
is also true that but moderate pro-
portion of proprietary medicines con-
tain any poison or narcotic, and, when
they do, it is generally in such small
quantities or so protected by accom-
panying antidotes, as to carry with it
no danger whatever"
