Chinchow-Aigun railway scheme, which
fell through on account of foreign op-
position and a lack of enthusiasm in
domestic support But there are plenty
of opportunities for investment left in

1t is in this latter connection that the

speculation. What will be the effect on
American chances? Will these two

into three parts, a Europe controlled by
France and England, an Asia controlled

1t is certainly to be hoped that these
powers do not contemplate the restric-
ton of American commerce in the
orient. We need it too badly. The
world in actual practice will not divide
neatly into three parts. England and
Germany will continue to do an i'm

the war. and we cannot afford to limit
our foreign trade to the South Ameri-

Okuma. recently assured an American
correspondent that Japan would main

that she would welcome American capi-
tai in the problem of Chinese develop

ready to welcome American capital in
this task; what American merchants in
China have desired is that the economic
law that trade follows the loan"

Japan would heartily welcome Ameri-
