no relief has been afforded her. He
does not believe Japan will interfere
with the Philippines when they are
made independent. 1t will not be
worth while. Peaceful penetration
will give them a control that will
be effective when war comes, said he.
'The Filipinos know this" said he.
"They want their independence, but
they want us to protect them. They
would eat their cake and have it too. "
He is not trying to alarm his peo-
pie in the talks he has had in New
York and Washington. He has only
been trying to arouse American
politicians and business men to an
understanding OF the situation, to the
end that they may try to understand
the Chinese point of view.
There is no time" said he, when
a perfect understanding is so vitality
needed as now"

may be 20 years before the yellow
peoples will be thoroughly ready to

mills and mines and their furnaces
will be able to supply their every

Wang, the most influential member
of>the Chinese establishment in Paris
during the peace talk, had preferred
to 90 home by way Of the Suez Canal.
He had originally MANNED to return
through the United States. Wang is
one of the very able men of the
world, said he. He had always been

For the first time in modern his

'tMost Of the talk one has heard has
been nonsense. Japan has never be

can be no war. Now she has plenty.
She il prosperous. German officers
are training Japanese and Chinese
troops. 1t is true that Japan and
China are hostile and that a Chinese
boycott of Japanese products has
been most successful and irritating.
But thanks to the Shantung agree
ment China may include that the in
terests of the yellow peoples are
identical.

1T is simple" said he. Japan is

said businessman who has lived all
his life in China.
Trouble is coming, said he. There

will be an anti-foreign feeling which
can only be compared to the feeling
which preceded the Boxer Rebellion.
What comes home to US is the fact
that Uncle Sam has lost face with the

think Of the people Of America as cut

Last year when the west was get
ting such an array Of criticism. When
the writers in the daily papers in the
east were telling Of the awful condi-
tions Of the west. When they we're
picturing the people Of the west as
in destitute circumstances, unable TO
stay and unable to go. When they
were writing column after column
about the devastated condition of he
west and predicted that its doom vas
forever sealed. That there would
never be day that people would
ever think of coming back here to
live. we thought they were doing us
grave injustice. but in place Of that
il was probably the very best thing
that could have happened TO bring
this great rich productive country in
to the eyes Of the people Every
prediction that this country would
never come back has fallen flat, and
proves that the writer's thereof knew
nothing about the great west.
The drouth was broken last fall
and with one crop season the South
Plains has redeemed itself, and
shows that no country in the world
can come back and recover from a
severe drouth as rapidly as the great
South Plains-the Lubbock country.
Hundreds of prospectors are COM
ing here every week, and many have
bought, others are buying and many
will return when they have marketed
their crops on rented farms and will
buy a home of their own in the Lub-
book country. Others are buying res
idental property in Lubbock and some
are coming here to engage in busi-
ness. Il goes to show that this coun-
try has got their attention and they
are coming to the great west for
homes and investments.
The crops in this country this year
are greatest in many seasons and the
prices are going to be the highest
which is bound to net the farmers a
good profit, and these immense crops
are attracting the attention of those
who have heard Of them and have
come out here to see for themselves.
