VAST SCHEME TO

One Of the Greatest Experiments in
the History Of the World Under
taken BY yellow Men,

Washington, July 1S.-AcCording to
advices received by the bureau of
manufacturers, the Japanese govern
ment has undertaken one of the
greatest experiments in the worlds S
history which indicates a clear pur-
pose to protect, supervise, develop and
nationalize all japanese industries.
II is stated that the provision for the
naturalization of railways Is but a
single step in the great plan of in
dustrial naturalization toward which
the country is fast approaching.
The movement for Manchurian
naturalization has received careful
consideration and it is now proposed
that a company shall he formed by
the government and private capitalists
jointly for the purpose of operating
the railways. forests and mines in
Manchuria. If successful along the
lines Japan is now working, it is stat
ed that the individuals and corpora
tions of America that are striving for
the trade of the Orient will discover
that they are not competing for this
trade against individuals and corpor-
ations of Japan. but that they are in
commercial conflict with the Japanese
nation itself.

that there were almost as many views

therefore, to appoint two committees.

The traffic men are to meet and ar
