MANCHURIA REAL
FIELD FOR JAPAN
Efforts There More Promising
Than i'm California, Says an
Observing Traveller.

THE potential resources OF Manchuria
are still known to but few people, and
the remark OF a much travelled Jap
anese who has spent some thirty years
In California is well worth consider
ing seriously. says the Word Sdtesnld"'
This traveller says that IL the japanese
would spend the same amount OF money
and effort In Manchuria that they nave
in California they would find return
much more worthy of the effort, and
that all questions arising from raclai
prejudices would be eliminated.
Certainly the Japanese could develop
the wonderful resources Of this neighbor-
ing country as we'll or better than any
other nation. It's nearness to their own
country is another factor that would be
Of Importance in considering the PROPOSE
ton. BY this It must not be inferred
that the Japanese are idle In regard 10
the great country so near. Far from II.
But they have hardly scratched the sur
face yet And TO eliminate the Cali
fornia problem might mean great re-
vulsion OF feeling in favor OF the Jap
anese along the west coast OF the United
States.
That there Is a pressing need of
Japan's more earnest recognition OF the
need to develop her foreign trade In a
much greater degree was most forcibly
brought out in an address recently de-
liyered by Gov. 1nouye OF the Bank OF
Japan before a group Of influential Jap
anese business men at Osaka. He said
that the obstacles in the way OF this de-
velopment could be overcome--such as.
for instance, the difference in prices
here and in other countries. the matter
OF longer credits. the Improvement OF
the service in respect to deliveries and
packing, the question of uniform quality.
&C. He believes that the salaries and
wages generally paid must come down
In order TO bring costs TO a lower level.
In closing his address Gov. lnouye
said: considering the position of
Japan in the world. there IL no other
way but for Japan to encourage foreign
expectation II her prestige Is TO be main
tanned from falling. In order TO pre-
serve for herself the position in 'he
world market which was attained during
the war all the obstacles in her path
should be overcome" Indeed. encour-
agement of foreign trade, said Gov.
Inouye. Is important both as tenn
porary measure as we'll as n permanent
policy OF the country.

NEW CAR FOR SMALL
FREIGHT PUT TO TEST
Success Means Sweeping
Change, Says ". Y. Central.

A "container car" the fruit Of ex-
haustive study by New York Central
Railroad officials for a style of rolling
stock that would eliminate wasteful ham
ding and idle cars in connection with
the shipment of freight and valuable ex-
press packages in less than carload lots,
yesterday finished its first test trip to
Chicago and back. Provided other trips
and similar cars now being built prove
as successful as this first one, the rail-
road officials said the handling of small
lots of valuable freight will be revolu-
tionized.
The experimental car Is Tor express
usage, others being under construction
for freight purposes. The new type pre-
sents the odd appearance of a row of
steel safes held to the floor of the car
by a network of steel uprights. The ex-
press cars have nine OF the safes. each
6 by . feet, and the freight cars will
have three fifteen foot containers. The
safes are lifted out of their network by
small crane and dropped on motor
trucks or directly on the platform of the
receiver. 1t is planned to have ample
supplies of the steel containers available.
so that others may be dropped In right
after the full ones are removed thereby
permitting the car TO be put Immediately
in service.

PEACE NOT RESTORED
BY CHINESE PACT
Split in Canton Government
Covered Up and Reorgani-
Zation Is Effected.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 5.-while formal an
nouncements were issued early in the
fall from militarlsts in southern China
and from Pekin that the long standing
differences of the North and South were
being adjusted and that restoration OF
internal peace was at hand. action taken
soon afterward by the group that organ
lied the original southern government
moro than three years ago seems to set
at nought the Pekin peace pronounce
ment.
This southern group is headed by DR..
Sun Vat Sen. former President: Tang
Shao-yi. former Premier, and DR.. WI
Ting-fang, and the move they made was
to shift from Shanghai back to Canton
and announce that the Canton Govern
ment, or the Constitutionalist Govern
ment, would be reorganized.
DR.. Sun Vat Sen and Tang Shao-yi
have been residing in Shanghai for some
time. Wu Ting-fang with big follow
ing of members of the former Southern
Parliament came north to Shanghai
and joined them several months ago
when the Canton Government split and
dissolved.
1t was with the faction that was left
behind in Canton that Pekin concluded
peace arrangements. That faction. how
ever, has suffered defeat and rout at the
hands of leaders in the south who had
remained loyal to the Constitutionalists.
This defeat left the way back to Canton
open to the southern group in Shanghai
and 1t answered Pekins announcement
by the move 1t made.
When Pekin declared to the world
that Identification in China was to be
effected by means of reconstruction
conference" the southern leaders Who
were then in Shanghai dissented. They
charged that the North was not sincere
In It's desire for peace and contended
that reopening OF the peace conference
at Shanghai, the peace conference that
ended abruptly about two years ago,
when Pekin rejected terms the south
erners demanded. would be the only
means by which strife within the coun-
try could be brought to an end. When
Pekin showed no disposition to follow
this course the move to Canton was
made.
1t has since been reported in Shanghai
that the provinces of Chekiang. Fukien
and Shensi would be turned to the cause
of the newly formed Canton Govern
ment. This and other adhesions, it was
said, would give to the new Canton Gov
ernment the support of at least six OF
Chinas wealthiest provinces, or more
than enough to make 1t formidable
belligerent against Pekin.
The southern group that went from
Shanghai to Canton wasted no time In
carrying out their purpose, for 1t was
within few days OF their arrival that
the formation OF Cabinet was an
nounced. 1t Is composed OF the follow
ing: Chief of General Staff. Hsu Shao-
chang; Army, Hsu Chung-chi Navy
Tang Ting-kwang: Foreign Affairs, DR..
Wu Ting-fang: Finance. Tang Shao-yi;
Justice. Hsu Chen; Home Affairs (act-
ine). Yeh Hsia-cheng (vice chieD, and
Chief Secretary. Hu Han-ming.

JAPANESE LEADING
WORLD IN DIVORCES
Far Ahead of German Rate,
Highest in Europe.

TOXIC. Jan. 5.--The assertion Is made
here that Japan leads the world in pro-
portion of divorces to marriages. Un-
official reports state that the number OF
divorces In 1918 was 5e.7ii, as against
5oa. GAG marriages. ratio Of 1928 di-
yorces TO each 1000 marriages.
This is compared TO the German rate
of 21.s per thousand. which is said TO
be the highest divorce rate In Europe.
Unofficial figures indicate that Japan's $
rate of increase In population was Gu.
about one-half in 1919 by influenza and
high cost Of living. The estimated year
ly increase Of Japan's population has
generally been assumed to be about
500 900. In 1918 the customary esti-
mated census showed an Increase OF
about 500. 900. while in 1919 the increase
was only 30S,794.

Thc r~e-election of Mayor Hylan in N

The reelection of Mayor Hylan in New York
is. Of course, the outstanding feature Of the elections
which were held IN many sections OF the United
States on Tuesday. The majority won by the pres
ent incumbent exceeds even the most optimistic
prediction estimates of his supporters. His vote.
is just about double that Of his principal opponent,
Mr.. Curran. ~
AS in all elections, many influences were at
work. and it is impossible for those not familiar
with the local. conditions to explain the result. One
of the features which entered into the situation and
which undoubtedly accounts for no small part of
the Hylan ma jority, is the insistence placed by the
Hylan people on the scent street railway fare. The
issue OF low transportation charges is always an
attractive one, and where promises Of this kind are
made and insisted on, they are pretty sure to result
in votes. s
While local conditions Of various, kinds entered
In every contest throughout the country, it is to be
observed that the successes noted were won. chiefly
by Democrats. The legislatures of MARYLAND and
Kentucky arc to'bc transferred from the Republic.
an to the Democratic column, and while it may be
an accident that in SO many cases the Democrats
are reported to have been successful over Repub-
licans, this condition seems to have been SO gen
eral that there is reason to suspect some reaction
from the election of last year. ~'t
The Republican majorities throughout the
country last year were SO large, the landslide so
tremendous, that it was a ~faregone conclusion that
the lead obtained at that time could not be held,
and no one who has followed political developments
for any length of time could doubt that at least BY
the time Of the next biennial election, a change would
have set i'll, the vast majorities of last year would
be reduced, and some of the smaller majorities
would be transferred into Democratic leads. 1t is
rather early for such a reaction to, have made itself
felt; nevertheless, it is quite likely that this pro-
cess is under way, and that in the election results
of Tuesday we have some evidence of it. The effect
should be wholesome in placing the Republican ma
jority in congress on it's guard, and in stimulating
it to vigorous effort in the enactmen of such legis-
lation as will make an appeal to the people of the
country on solid and substantially grounds.

LLOYD GEORGE AND HIS OFFICE.

The suggestion that Premier LLOYD George
will probably resign if it becomes apparent that the
present negotiations fail to result in the solution of
the Irish problem has. caused more than a ripple Of
interest among those who have been following the
course of the negotiations, whether in the British
empire or sewhere. The Gladstone administra-
ton went to pieces because it had committed itself
to a policy at that time satisfactory to Ireland, but
unacceptable to the rest Of the United Kingdom.
Lloyd George, with the great body of British opin-
ion, has sought to bring about The. acceptance by
Ireland of conditions of settlement not dreamed of
in Gladstone's time, and this far he has been unable
to bring the two factions in Ireland together on any
program whatever.
For years Lloyd George has been the domi-
Ilant figure in Great Britain. Without a party of
his own he has drafted men from other parties and
factions to form an administration, and through
some peculiar knack that he possesses he has been
able to make that conglomerate body function. He
has doomed II so large that observers have sometimes
incurred what they conceived to be the decadence
of British craftsmanship, and have failed to find any
man who could successfully perform the duties OF
the British premiership if this one man should re-
tire or be removed. One answer to this one com
|mcntator has said that there need be no fear, that
there are plenty of men of premiership cal;bre, and
in support of this a listsof brilliant names IS given,
But this writer says that the problem IS not to find
E~anothcr capable man for the place, but to get Lloyd
George out Of II. Should tie premier resign that
