Nd CHANCES IN CHINA
9NOW FOR AMERICAN FIRMS
YORK, April 25-The present

w YORK, April 25-The present
..Preciation of the American dollar
ii China and India is opening up
great markets for American export,
according to a statement by the Ma
tional Foreign Trade Council. Further
more, the native buying power has
more than doubled in the last four
years.
In China alone it is estimated that
pc hundred and fifty American firms
re established Offices since the war.
81 older established firms, both Eu-
a and American, are not worry
Is owe the possibility of increased
competition. There is plenty of room
for all that may wish to come; but
the general belief is, that the new
corners have not the necessary patti
ence to deal with the Chinese and to
wait two or three years for definite
results.
\ In a recent interview, says the Ma
\ ional Foreign Trade Council, Mr..
Heu En- Yuan, the Chinese President
of the new Sino-American Bank, de-
clared: Both in the Chinese Govern
ment and outside it is felt that small
dependence can be placed on Amer
lean business or financial policy.
About nee in every five years Amer
lean men of business become inter
ested in China, but this interest does
not last long. Something always hap
pens to brighten the bankers away.
First il is a change in political affairs
at home; then international politics
are to blame; then again the business
men and financial representatives sent
to CHA become impatient at the de
lays and intrigues always present in
Chinese affairs, grow tired of the
interminable negotiations, and go
home"

URGES CONSOLIDATION
OF STATISTICS WORK
Alexander Has Plan to Combine
New York Customs Branch With
Commerce DEPARTMENT.

NO1uu01C0 0SHdI kAcAts
Transfer of the control and expense
Of operation Of the bureau Of customs
statistics in New York from the
Treasury to the Commerce Depart
ment, and its consolidation with the
division Of statistics of the bureau of
Washington will be urged in connec-
ton with the 1921 estimates Of the
Department Of Commerce by Secre-
tary Alexander, it was learned today.
An estimate of 100000 for CO.
Of the new bureau will be sent to
Congress.
The estimate of $500. 900 is approx
mately double the present cost Of the
two statistical bureaus in the Com
which handle foreign trade statistics.
The additional amount is asked to
extend the import and export CLASH
f1cationS as provided in the new
schedules; introducing more efficient
and annual reports and providing for
their earlier publication by substitut-
ing mechanical tabulating machinery
for the present method Of compiling
ports by states of origin and by par
eel post and by introducing other i'm
proved methods.
1t had been planned to put revised
import and export classif1cations into
effect on January l, 1921, but the ire
mendous growth of imports and ex-
ports since the close of the war has
increased the current work Of the sta
tistical bureau of the Treasury and
Of the Commerce Department to such
an extent that it is considered to be
impossible to handle the increased
work which would be caused by the
extended classification unless addi-
tional funds are provided by Con-
gress.
The appropriations committees of
Congress will be asked to grant
special hearing on the 100000 esti-
mate in advance of the hearings on
the annual appropriations for the fis-
cal year commencing with July, 1921

BORAH TO PRESS
YANK FARM BILL
Senator Hopes to Encourage
Production and Solve Agri-
cultural. Problem.

Senator Borah of Idaho plans to
press for action on his bill to en-
courage the establishment of farm and
suburban homes by veterans of the
world war. which was favorably re-
ported from the Senate public lands
committee in the closing hours of the
last session of Congress-.
This bill authorizes the United
States to reclaim land which is adapt
ed for settlement and cultivation, and
to Subdivide and sell it to veterans OF
the war in tracts suitable for farm
homes. 1t authorizes the government
to make loans for improvements and
the purchase of live stock and equip
ment, and also for the purchase for
home.
The sum of $500, 0OO. 900 is authorized
to be appropriated for this purpose. to
be expended over a period of ten
years. not more than $50,000,0O0 to be
expended during any fiscal year. The
report of the committee, submitted by
Senator Smoot. said:
To-day. in spite of the highest
wages ever paid by the farmer. the
deficiency in farm labor varies in
different sections in the United States
from 30 to so per cent of normal. This
means not only a tremendous increase
in the cost of producing the food of
the country. but serious curtailment
of production.
obviously, there is but one solu-
ton of this problem. Millions who
during the last few years have been
lured to the cities by higher wages or
better opportunities for the enjoyment
of life must be encouraged to go
back to the land. This bill provides
step. at least. in that direction"
All the expenditures under the bill!
are to be made under the direction of
the Secretary of the, Interior A board,
to consist of three members to be ap-
pointed by the President, is to per-
form such duties as pertain to the
welfare of the veteran, his settlement
upon the lands. and loans thereto. The
bill authorizes the repayment of the
cost of reclamation over a period of
forty years.
The bill provides that short-term
loan. not exceeding $4,000. may be
made to any veteran for the improve
ment of his land and the purchase of
live stock and equipment, or $4,000
for the purchase of suburban home.

ORE BODY WHICH SLIPS
MADE BASIS. OF LAWSUIT
Arizona Apex Law Is in Court for
First Time as Big Companies
Fight for Rights.

KINGMAN. Ariz.. November 10-An
ore body, alleged to be worth 100000
and said to have slipped down from one
mining companys property to that Of
another. is the basis of a suit on trial
in the Mohave county superior court
The suit was brought by the Tom
Reed Gold Mining Company against the
United Eastern Mining Company and
was based on the "apex law Of Ari-
iona, giving the discoveries of the apex
or top Of a ledge the right to the en-
tire ledge even though it should pass
underground beyond the side boundaries
Of the discoveries property into the
property of another.
The Tom Reed Company claimed that
a 100000 ore body on its property
was the apex of the ore body on what
was known as the Big Jim claim. hav-
ing faulted or slid down to within the
Tom Reeds property line. a distance Of
several hundred feet. Witnesses for the
Tom Reed Company were heard.
The United Eastern. which bought the
Big Jim claim from its discoveries, has
not yet disclosed its defense
This is the first apex lawsuit brought
In the courts of Arizona
