Australia Will Study
Effect of Prohibition

SYDNEY, New South Wales, Sept.
26-(By the Associated Press)-The
question of prohibition and restrict
ions upon the Intoxicating liquor
traffic has aroused great interest and
comment throughout the common
wealth and a band of Sydney bust
nessmen, including several members
of parliament, has been formed and
subscribed fourteen hundred pounds
to be expended in the United States
n Canada in an effort to determine
what effect prohibition has upon
business efficiency.
The businessmen plan to spend a
year in obtaining and considering
opinions from the United States and
Canada and their conclusions are to
be published here.
A great amount of speculation also
has arisen here over whether the
Appeals court will decide whether 6
p. M, or IL p. m, is the legal closing
hour for hotel bars in Sydney. The
6 p. M, closing was a wartime
measure and it was to cease being
effective within a certain period af-
ter the war. A subsequent act, how
ever, provided that a referendum
should be held on the continuance
of the early closing hour. The pres
ent labor government, announced
that because of the expense involved,
it had declined to take the question
before the people.

B~Olshevism's Spread
Among East Indian
Coolies Is Feared

SYDNEY, New South Wales, Sept.
26-(By the Associated Press)-
Fears that ~Bolshevism may take a
hold upon the 10000 East Indian
coolies in the Fiji Islands, who have
been imported over a period of years
to work the sugar plantations, have
been expressed by the Fiji Planters
association, according to advices
reaching here today.
The Indians have Just carried out
a siX-months strike which paralyzed
the sugar industry and caused heavy
losses to the planters. They had pre-
scented demands that the planters
as "eXtravagant," and refused to
grant. These demands. the planters
characterized as 'e~Xtravagant," and
refused to grant. These demands,
the planters declared, were the re-
suit of the efforts of agitators who
are preaching that the Indian should
not "salaam" a white person, and
similar pronOunCement of race equal
ity.
Under pressure from imperial au-
thorities. suffrage has been granted
the Indians, and the Fiji Planters
association fear that, with the over
whelming preponderance of Indian
population, the Fiji islands will be-
come more of an Asiatic colony than
European.
The Fiji Planters association has
expressed itself as favoring the intro
duction of Chinese coolies instean. of
further Indian immigrants.

Chinese Students in
Japan Express Views
Upon the Conference

PEKING, China, Sept. 26-(Associ-
ated Press Mail)-The association of
Chineses students in Japan has adj
dressed a letter to DR.. Sun Vat Sen
and to Hsu Shih-chang, the president,
expressing their views concerning the
selection of delegates to the forth
coming far eastern affairs confer
ences at Washington, according to
the Picking Chen Pao, the Progress
i've party organ.
The letter dwells upon the effect
of a divided house upon China's fore
ign relations and expresses surprise
at the report that the North and
South will each send a separate dele
cation. This means, in the opinion
of the students, sure disaster for the
country.
The letter points out the import
ance attached by both Japan and
England to the appointment of their
delegations and says that if the au-
thorities of the North and South are
not to sacrifice national interests
they should sink their old differences
and discard all lines of fractional and
party strife by selecting a delega-
ton representative of the wohle coun-
try.
The qualifications of the delegates
also are discussed. Among these are
cited an excellent knowledge of dip
lomatic affairs and an international
and national reputation for honesty
and ability. The students believe
that DR.. WI Ting Fang and DR.. Wei
lington Koo, former minister to the
United States, are the two men hav-
ing these qualifications. The students
request that these two men be ap-
pointed to represent China at the
Washington gathering.

Inclusion of China's
T~wenty-one Demands
Is Insisted Upon

CANTON, China, Sept. 26-(Asso-
ciated Press Mail)-Dr. WI Ting
Fang, foreign minister of the Consti-
nationalist government in Canton has
issued a statement representing the
stand of the Constitutionist govern
ment on the forthcoming conferences
in Washington on limitations of
armament and far eastern questions.
OR. w. w. 7. Fang's attention has
been called to a recent statement
made by DR.. w. w. Yen in which he
declared that China would seek at
the Washington conference to have
worked out general principles which
can be applied in solving individual
problems wherever they may arsie
in future developments on the Paci
fic,'" DR.. Wu's statement said.
Or. WI further observes that fur
Their definition of general principles
regarding China would hardly add to
the definiteness and clarity of the
principles of the independence and
integrity of China and the doctrine of
the Open Door, which have been af-
firmed and reaflirmed in the series Of
conventions entered into by Japan
with Great Britain, France, Russia
and the United States. The difficulty
hitherto has lain in the application
of these well defined general princi-
pies to individual problems like
Shantung and the allied and greater
question of the twenty-one demands;
and if DR.. Yen means that these two
concrete and urgent issues are to be
excluded from the orbit of the Wash
ington conference, which is the view
now being pressed by Japan, DR.. WI
Ting Fang is prepared to hazard the
opinion that, whatever else the con
ference may achieve, China will stand
precisely where she stands today.
"If DR.. Yen wants more general
principles applicable to China and
the Pacific region, DR.. WI Ting Fang
believes that the covenant of the
League of Nations contains a goodly
assortment and he Graves to refer
DR.. Yen thereto"
