Interview With WI Ting-fans

(The following interview with WI.
Tingfang was given a few days be.
fore his death, which was recent,
announced by cable.)
Canton, South China, June a (By ar
Associated Pless Staff Correspondent
by maiD.-The former Chinese Min
lister, Wu-Ting-fang, received today
the correspondent of the Associated
press and set forth the reasons why
he believed the powers should recog.
nize South China. He presented the
cause of the Chinese republic in this
regard during a long interview ir
which he explained also the vital
differences between Sun Vat Sen ant
Chen Chung Ming, and dwelt upor
China's financial difficulties.
DR.. WI, who is now the civil gov.
ernor of Kwangtung province under
the Southern government, received
the correspondent in his Canton office
He answered every question asked
him with great care, and was inter
eSted in seeing that his answer was
correctly transcribed.
"For nearly five years South China
has been practically Independent, and
for about two years we have been ex-
listing as the Republic of China" Dl;
Wu said. During all this time we
have been. running our government
without assistance from the outside
world, and the outside world is not
going to help us until we gain some
form of recognition.
"How are we going to build up a
modern government without being
able to contract loans and without
being able to make treaties; in other
words, without recognition by the
other governments in the world? We
are so handicapped that we are al
most powerless, and if we continue to
sit and wait, we will be waiting until
doomsday. We must force the pow
ers to recognize us. AS soon as they
do this civil war will stop, and the
people of Kwangtung and South Chi
ma VIII set up q m0del government.
"At present we are in reality de-
facto government" DR.. WI contin-
ued. "For months this government
has been functioning perfectly. Dur
ing al this time we have been dealing
with other governments, although un-
officially | am addressed as Gov.
ernor by the foreign officials of other
governments in this part of China.
We are constantly dealing, unofficial
ly with consular and other officials of
foreign countries as though we were
a permanent government. After the
overthrow Of the Manchu Dynasty

but sunburned little groups of ragged
children and adults who fled from
the hunger death of the Volga last
autumn to provinces that promisec

homes they deserted.
Daily they arrive at Saratoff, Sa
mara, kazan and other railway juno

of them are in. worse shape thar
when they departed. They fount
other provinces inhospitable and foot
scarce everywhere.
Many of the returning wanderer
are being fed at American Relief Ad

Mice and Locust
Damaging Grain

Moscow, July 10-Field mice and
locusts have damaged millions of
acres of grain in several Russian dis
tricts already seriously affected by
last years drought and famine, and
which were expected this year to
produce good crops.
A report of the bureau of agricul-
ture states that more than 10000, 900
acres are in the belt affected by these
pests. Locusts have swept in from
Persia, and the field mice have not
been far behind.
Chemical warfare squads mobilized
to fight the plague have been greatly
hampered in their work by lack of
destructive chemicals.

Japanese Life Insurance
Companies Investigated

Toxic, July .10.-The department
of commerce has ordered a thorough
investigation into the operations of
Japanese life insurance companies,
many of which have sprung up in
Japan since new laws made it i'm
possible for foreign companies to do
business here. 1t is charged that
a number of these Japanese COM
panies are concerns without assets
and that when claims are made they
find some way of getting out of pay
ing the beneficiaries.

Mr.. Oliver Dyer, in publishing q
book on the great senator's said that
he became attached to Davis Oh ac-
count of his personal kindness and
that he noticed it always gave him
pleasure to do an act of kindness for
anyone.
Davis was secretary of war during
Pierce's administration, and while
holding his position there introduced
several marked improvements in mil
itary affairs, coast defense, armament
and transportation. Upon the seccs
sion of Mississippi he retired from
the senate delivering a notable fare
well address, and in the same year
was elected president of the Confed-
crate states. He did not desire the of
fee of president, but accepted the
place only in difference to the wishes
of his colleagues.
He lacked the support of congress.
Often, when conditions demanded i'm

accept his policy, and had no policy
of its own. So that he had to act with
