protection it would be afforded them.
 Now it is authoritatively stated that the Japanese government is about to nationalize the commerce and indus tries of Manchuria by forming a cor poration with Japanese merchants, miners, manufacturers and railway builders. This will mean the practical exclusion of foreign trade.
 It is an experiment never before at tempted by any nation on so large a scale. IL is doubtful if such a move ment could succeed if attempted by any other nation. but it would be a wonder if it should fail in the hands of Japan.
 The resources of Manchuria are so extensive and varied that once this great enterprise is under way, there will be no room for the goods of other countries Manchuria will be convert ed into a world of trade and manufac- turing within itself Our dreams of oriental commercial conquest will gradually become much less vivid than they were when Russia lost it's grasp on Manchuria.
