Germans Cling to Australia.

MELBOURNE-Most of the promi-
nent Germans who were domiciled in
Australia before the outbreak OF war
are anxious to remain in the common
wealth and are using every means in
their power to prevent the Government
from deporting them to their native
country. The reasons put forward are
many and varied.
Some of the internees are married to
Australian girls. while others are anx-
ious to enter into matrimony with girls
who have remained true to them while
they have been in the concentration
camps The latter claim is likely to
meet with short shrift, as the authorities
are determined to prevent as far as they
can Australians forming alliances with
the Germans. To consider these appll-
cations a special board comprised OF six
magistrates has been formed. -Four OF
the magistrates come from New South
Wales, while Queens Land and Victoria
have one representative each, Each
magistrate will constitute a court and
even then the work is expected to take
several weeks to complete.
About 1000 builders, laborers and
members of allied industries have been
idle in Melbourne. The master builders
at Geelong gave their employees notice
that they would not pay more than 13s
a day and as a result most OF the men
affected ceased work

Frederick C. Harding. agent in New
York OF the Anglo-South American Bank.
Ltd. has announced the opening OF a
new branch Of that institution at Lima,
Peru. This IN IN oonformance with the
policy of the bank to meet fully the
necessity Of business for complete bank

With the opening Of the branch in
Peru the Anglo,South American Bank
will have increased the number Of It's
branches in South America to twenty
two. Heretofore the interests of the
bank in the Peruvian territory have
been cared for through Its afflliation
with the Banco del Peru y Londres
This nav branch. however, materially
augments the Importance Of Anglo-South
American service for direct personal
representation for its customers in that
territory. The old connection. howevef
will be retained.
Norman Stennins, formerly manager
Of the Banco del Peru Londres, who
will be in charge of the branch at Lima

banking and business matters For
many years he was manager of the Men.

One OF the genuinely striking examples
Of good colonial government Is that OF
Japan over Formosa: and the successful
development and management of this
primitive. isolated island, peopfed by
savages. a, resentful kindred race. and
by japanese emigrants who would natu-
rally expect to disregard the rights of
the conquered, is something of an
achievement for a nation only half a
century old in the modern scheme Of So
ciety and government.
Whatever Japan's unfairness or fall
ure may have been in Corea, no sim
liar causes for criticism have arisen in
Formosa.
Formosa is an island of wonderful
beauty, fertility and natural wealth,
with an area of about 1900 square
miles. The estimated population is
$780, 900. made UP of 10000 wild
aborigines; 3,328,ooO Chinese and tanned
aborigines. and $4,000 Japanese. For.
mosa became a Japanese colony in 1895
at the close of the war with China.
Poor old Formosa has certainly been
batted about from pillar to post since
earliest times. The Portuguese discov-
cred 1t in 1857 and gave 1t the name
signifying beautiful island. Naturally
they took 1t. but left 1t where 1t was

It is generally recognized that the
increased development Of our Far East
ern commerce has largely been q result
Of the war now ended. Traffic in col
onlal produce has been monopolized for
many centuries by powerful but rela-
lively small groups Of European mer-
chants, who on the strength Of their
experience gathered through generations
had learned to exploit the Far Eastern
markets in a masterful manner. As
early as the beginning Of the seven
teenth century Portuguese and Dutch
merchants started to trade in India.
When In 1914 the European Govern
ments had to mobilize their entire
strength for war purposes the firm grasp
which centres like London. Marseilles,
Antwerp, Amsterdam and Hamburg had
on the Oriental markets could no longer
be maintained as before. German ac-
tivity practically ceased and glance
at the statistics showing our trade
figures with the Far East during the
years 1913 TO 1913, inclusive, will leave
no doubt as to the opportunity which
was suddenly given our country to take
advantage of this state of affairs
II 1t had not been for the lack Of
experience and tonnage our progress
might have been even greater. A clear
example Is given by the figures relative
| to our trade with the Dutch East Indies,
which increased within four years from
a yearly total of less than $4,000, 900
to over $20,000,OeO for exports. while
our imports from that territory in
creased in four years from 5000, 900
to $50. 100000
Economically speaking we are to-day
| the strongest nation as a result Of the
| war. We have ample capital. unlimited
natural resources and vast energy. Our
experience in foreign markets has been
necessarily limited, but we are quick
to learn. The war has helped US
tremendously in establishing prestige
| and We have started to make valuable
| reputation for ourselves abroad, which
will be maintained most readily by the
expansion OF our foreign commerce.
Our foreign policies are not imperialis-
tic. In fact by our unselhsh support
toward the establishment of new
order of political arrangements we are
entering the Far East under great ad-
vantages as compared to our predeces-
ing more than economic gain in view.
Urges Direct Selling.
To-day the Oriental merchants realize
that we offer them the largest consuming
market in the world. Our tire and rub

ton. Copra, vegetable oils tin, tea, cof.
fee. tobacco. spices, raw silks and other
staple products in the Far East find a
constantly increasing demand in the
United States. There should be no rea.
son why these products would again be
forced to follow indirect trade channels
via European centres to be resold 20 us
by European merchants instead of COM
Ing direct to our ports now that we have

Railroads Established.

From Keeling straight south the jap
anese built a main trunk line termi-
mating at Takao. This gave an adequate
means Of transportation Tor men and
merchandise the entire length OF the
Island; but the wealth of the new terri
tory was not even then available, so
the japanese inaugurated a splendid sys-
tenn OF territorial development. Push
railways. that is. trackage carrying
small platform trucks such as we use
In factories, pushed or pulled by coolies,
were used as feeders extending we'll in

the traffic on these light railways grew
