SUGGEST PURCHASE
of PHILIPPINES BY
JAPAN GOVERNMENT
Writer Contends Japan
Must Expand Territory as
She is Growing in
Population

| Toxic, August s.-(Correspondenc of
the Associated Press.)-The suggestion
that Japan purchase the Philippine
Island from the United States and the
Dutch East Indies from Holland as a
means or solving the problem of Japans
ever-growinc population is made Ly a
writer in thu TIelald of Asia, a conserv-
alive Japanese weekly journal. The
writer contens Japan is bound to expand
| territorially as she is expanding in pop
ulation. Pointing out that the popula-
ton has more than doubled in the last so
years, being now over 100000. he esti-
mates that at the rate of increase the
population will in another so years have
reached 100000.
1t is not too much to hope, he argues,
that some day justice and destiny will
decide that all the islands on this side
| of the Pacific, north of the equator, will
come under the jurisdiction of Japan"
He asks the question, whether America
] intends to keep out Japanese emigrants
| and still hold the Philippines perma-
nently If not, why should she not some
| day sell them to Japan? He adds: HAY
| ing closed her own doors to the Jap
anese, this would be gracious act on
her part and one that would be but nat
urally expected from country boast
! ing of so much philanthropy and Chris
/ tian altruism."
| ticle contends the inhabitants are more
akin to the Japanese than to Holland,
and that Japan could administer the
islands with greater benefit on the whole
to the people and to herself than could
Holland, which, moreover. is small
country untroubled with surplus popula-
\ ton.
| 1t is pointed out also that the Dutch
East Indies form the southern line of
Japan's defenses and that more than
once the independence of these islands
has made them a menace to her safety.
| After remarking that the Japanese do
not like to settle in cold climates like
Hokkaido or Siberia, the writer con-
cludes: Certainly It would be better to
! let Japan have them than to let them
| pass into other hands, contingency that
Japan could not contemplate. There
was a surprise when America purchased
the Danish West Indies. There should
be no surprise If Japan should pur-
chase the Dutch East Indies. Were
Japan once in command of the Sunda
straits she could slacken her naval
programme and feel at ease both as to
defenses and population for all time
to come"

AUTHORITIES IN
ITALY UNABLE TO
MAINTAIN OREDR
Government Agencies Fail
to Function When Strik-
ers Force Demands
Upon Commercial Class

Rome August Correspondence of
the Associated Press. )-Intermittent and
sporadic strikes, which have produced
throughout Italy conditions in some in
stances aproximating bolshetism, in 9TH
ers kind of socialism and in still others
localized anarchy, have given Italian
political economists and statesmen new
spurs to study and remedial action.
There has been rule without rule" ac-
cording to foreign observers. The gov
eminent agencies long established for
the administration of public affairs ex-
listed but failed to function. Municipal
authorities, communal officials and rep
resentatives of the state admitted they
were helpless to deal with the unusual
situations which rendered inactive the
prerogatives of those in power Strik-
ing workmen forced demands upon a
helpless commercial class, il is pointed
out, while the authorities merely looked
on Sin obedience to the will of the dis
turbers."
The organizations throughout Italy that
planned the newest departure in govern
mental and economic administration
were styled Camera del Lavoro lit
eral translation would define them as
chambers of labor, but their functions
went much beyond the province of labor
as one ordinarily conceives that province,
and extended so far that prices were ar
bitrarily fixed and the sale of commod-
tiles ordered.
The merchant seems to have been the
one who has suffered most by the lad
venture" His stocks were comman-
deered by the camara del lavoro if he
did not show the disposition to sell at the
prices fixed by that organization in
most cases the arbitrary reduction of
80 per cent was exacted on all oommodi-
ties regardless of the cost of the goods,
the condition of the market or the rate
of foreign exchange or any of the fac
tors which determine selling prices
There were examples of forced reductions
as low as 10 per cent. but these were few
The camera del lavoro would set the
day on which thc new scale of prices
would take effect. Some of the mer-
chanes refused to open their stores, but
there were worse things in readiness for
them. Those stores opened were crowded
with people anxious to benefit by the
change. There never was such business
in any of the merchant establishments
throughout Italy. Every storekeeper
needed between 10 and 90 soldiers or po-
licemen to keep the crowds in order
There was such rush for bargains that
in many places, the situation quickly
changed 10 violent disorder in which
many innocent women and children were
either trampled upon or received pain

In the case of food, there was little
to be done but to hanl the ready Gus

asked Canned meats could be handed

is no luxury in Italy, was sold at

But when it came to the distribution
of clothing and shoes, the real trouble
began Where the clothing establish

as the shoe establishments, they were
crowded enough, and the scramble for
proper sizes and fittings was veritabie

statesmen and saleswomen of the shops
to serve patrons was failure, and they
contented themselves merely with re-

Physicians say that more than 70 non-organic
diseases be traced directly to Acid Stomach
hyperacidity as they call it. Besides this, there
numerous ailments which can hardly be classified
true diseases but which, nevertheless untold
suffering, and these too found to have their origin
in ACID-STOMACH.
Now there must be good and sufficient reasons
why so much human misery suffering and i'll health
that affect practically every part of the body all get
their start in souri, gassy belching, AcidStonach.
There ARE such reasons-and here is one OF them:
Because of acdity acdstomach cannot prop
ery digest food Unless food is fully dgested it's
shng elements cannot be properly assmilated. Hence
the blood becomes thin and impoverished. Even the
strongest body cannot maintain it's strength very long
if proper nourishment is denied And that is the very
reason why so many people weak sallow-skinned,
emaciated and anemic-always ailingl
Here is another reason: Excess acid causes food to
and ferment in the stomach. This gives rise to
indigestion, belching souri, gassy stomach disgusting
food repeating heartburn, dyspepsia etc. Moreover,
this souri, fer1nented partially digested food when
passes the intestines sets up irritation all along the
intestinal tract-irritaton frequently to
result in ulcers catarrh and even cancer.
