AROUND THE WORLD

F. Nj. Lee, who is in attendance at

from fve-months tour of the world.
When asked today by a representative
of the Silver State what he saw on his
tour, Mr.. Lee replied:
We found the world fairly pros
porous and at peace, with no wars nor
rumors of war. The most agreeable
countries visited were probably Java
and Ceylon, while India was the most
interesting. This country is making
wonderful progress and is beginning to
introduce modern agricultural meth
DDS. Having been afflicted for many
years with intermittent dry seasons,
which were followed by famine and in
describable suffering, irrigation plants
have been intoduced which will com
pare favorably with any of this coun-
try.
