railways by the study of railway track.
tunnels bridges. signals, cars, locomo-
tives and operating methods, with view
of eventually developing standards OF
design and operation.
The Commission on Railway Technics
was formed early in 1918 to supervise
this work Through the efforts of Vel
Kung-cho, then Westminster of CON-
municatons, a careful study OF the situ-
alton was made after which advisers
from varioSs foreign countries were en-
gagged to assist in carrying out the pro-
gramme which had been formulated,
Since the arrival Of the advisers sew
eral conferences have been held. which
were attended by the members OF the
Commission on Railway Technics, various
officers OF the Ministry and the OFFICERS
Of the various railway lines. with the
result that considerable progress has
been been made.
The civil engineering section to date
has held two conferences, at which
many questions were discussed relating
to clearanoes, the design of road bed,
ballast, sleepers, designs and specifica-
lions for rails and fastenin2s, designs
for. switches and designs and speciflca-
tons for bridges Two conferences nave
also been held by the mechanical engl-
neering section, at which consideration
was given to freight car capacities ana
to the various details of freight ana
passenger car and locomotive designs
and construction. A conference was
also held by the Traffic Section. which
considered questions OF operations
Three conferences of each of the sec
lions will be held before the end of the
year. when II Is expected that satisiac-
tory conclusions will be reached on
many of the points under consideration.
The announced purpose of the Minis
try of Communications Is to endeavor
TO develop designs and methods which
will incorporate the best practices OF
railroading In all countries, and which
will enable the lines of the Chinese
Government Railways to order ma
terials or equipment from any country
able to furnish such materials on
basis that will be advantageous to
China and fair to foreign manufacture
ers.
The Ministry is also DESTROYS OF en-
couraging industries established In
China in order that they may be de-
veloped to the greatest possible extent
and avoid some of the troubles which
are unavoidable in procuring material
and equipment from outside countries

UNION
MAY TAKE IN JAPAN
Promotion of Branch Is Dis
cussed at the Peers Club
i'm Toxic.

TOXIC Sept preliminary inn
which will probably result In the early
promotion OF Japan branch Of the
Pan-Pacific Union and the accession of
Japan to the long list Of Pacific coun-
tries already represented In this union.
1t is confidently expected that Premier
Hara will accept the vice-presidency or
the japanese branch.
Those who were present when the plan
was discussed at a luncheon in the
Peers Club at the invitation or Alex
ander H. Ford, secretary-director of the
Pan Pacific Union. included Prince To-
kugawa. American Charge d'Affaires
Edward Bell, Mexican Charge d Affaires
s. NJ. de Alva, Viscount Tajira, Mayor
of Toxic. several members of the visit
ing American Congressional party and
members Of both houses of the Imperial
Diet, as well as prominent business
men, scientists and officials.
During the discussion Mr.. Ford de-
scribed the present stage reached by
the Pacific Union and some or It's
aims and hopes He said 1t was q union
of the leaders of thought OF the Pacitic
countries and it's base was SCIENTIFIC
and not the least of the services which
he hoped il would render to the Pacific
nations would be a scientific investiga-
ton of their problems
"Immigration he said, for example,
which the Japanese and Americans were
In the habit OF regarding as their own
special problems, was, as matter or
fact. a problem which affected other
Pacific countries. Its source was to be
found in economic conditions not In race
prejudice alone, and therefore there was
every reason to hope that a SCIENTIFIC
study of the conditions OF the Paciic
countries and their capacities for re-
ceiving immigrants, and the extent to
which they needed protection against
Immigration was likely to be OF great
service"

heartily in cooperation and support or

nothing that we want in the Pacific

SHIPPING CONCERNS
AGREE ON TERMS
Increase in Pacific Fleets and
Falling Off in Freight
the Cause.

YOKOHAMA, Sept. 15.-With the in
creasing number of ships operating in
the Pacific competition in the absorp-
ton of cargo has grown keener, and the
recent freight conferences In Kobe and
Yokohama between American and Japa-
nese shipping companies were Intended
to eliminate this competition by estab-
fishing a conventional scale Of freight
rates.
1t is understood that the freight agree
ment will be put into effect early IN
October However. there cannot be any
appreciable Improvement in the freight
situation If the present falling off in
the movements of cargo continues. 1t
Is said that a certain steamship could
get only ninety tons Of cargo in Japan
for her trip to America

Pacific American. ships show the greatest
increase, especially tramp steamships.
According to the Investigations OF the
Japan Shipowners Union three Ameri-
can regular liners totalllng 1874 tons,
and twenty-eight irregular steamships
totalling 174,574 tons, were operating
in the Pacific last June. In the CORE
spending month of last year America
was operating only three regular liners
with 17,456 tons, and three irregular
steamships with 21.14l tons.
In contrast to the great increase in
the American tonnages Japanese ships
operating in the Pacific show a con-
siderable decrease In number, though
their tonnage has increased. Last June

WASHINGTON Oct. 9-Reporting on

United States Trade Commissioner
Batchelder In a report to the Bureau Of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce states
that both the import and export business
of Tientsin is very quiet The stringency
of the money markets, high prices and
the drought OF last spring are contribu-
tory causes.
The fact, however, that the exports Of
Tientsin consist largely of staple raw
materials and food stuffs renders IL
probable that the export demand will
assume normal proportions as soon as
