8 IL is quite a mistake TO suppose
that the so.eailed Chino Japanese crisis
had anything to do with the suspension
OF forwarling munitions of war to Rus,
sia, " says srinivas R. wagel, financial
EDITOR of the North China Daily News,
who is in the city, a passenger for San
francisco on the s. s. Korea. "The de-
lay occurred, all right, and for some
weeks no ammunition left Japan for
Nladivostok for transportation to the
Russian front, but IL was not because
Japan was accommodating a supply for
" war with China. II was because the
money for the supplies already sent to
Russia from Japan had not been paid
and the Japanese manufacturers were
not going to continue shipping without
seeing some returns in the way of
Manufacturers Hard Put ia. .'...
"The Japanese manufacturers were
hard put for some little time. owing to
the Russiap delay in forwarding drafts.
The Japanese simply could not see the
way 10 meet their paytolls and the
raw material bills any longer with moth

Attitude Of India
Speaking Of the present attitude of
India toward the war and the part the
Indian army is taking in the fighting,
Mr.. Wagel states that this Is not so
much an evidence of loyalty to the Brit
ith rulers of India as it is a dislike of
what the Indians know of the Ger
mans.

war. do not like to predict. The re.
cent rejection by the house of lords of

if the British were disposed to show
very much gratitude. So far, all we
have been able to get from the British
we have forced from them. They have
offered us nothing of their own free

"Iudia will keep on progressing, y
was the reply, "but ! do not care to
venture a guess as to the method"
There Il one thing that Mr.. Wagel is
very positive over, however, and that
is that Kiphng is Numerically wrong
when he saws THAT there is such thing
as "the white mans burden.
