If you are interested in the real
reasons for the latest anti-Japanese
campaign in the capitalist press of the
United States, don't look to Geneva,
Switzerland, where the League of Ma
tons (so-called) is at present holding
it's sessions, but look toward China
where actual war is taking place for
readjustment of the balance Of power
in China among the imperialist ma
tons of the world.
The Real Bone Of Contention
The story that am going to relate
in just few words, is an old one. 1t
is the story Of the relations between
the imperialists of America and Japan,
each of the two groups cherishing am
billions and dreaming dreams of con-
quest, plumber and robbery of the So
called backward countries Of the Pac-
ific Ocean.
China for instance. What better and
richer prize is there now in the i'm.
perialist game to fight for? Particular
ly for the capitalists Of Japan and the
United States. None to compare to
China. It is rich in man-power and
in natural resources. 1t has a popula-
ton Of nearly 500 million people. It
is backward in the sense that it has
not yet developed capitalist econ
omy and capitalist class Of it's own
to take care effectively Of its own
affairs. Because of this latter fact
China has no stable centralized govern
ment to resist the encroachments of
foreign imperialists.
Another reason why China looks so
desirable to the capitalists Of Japan
and America lies in the fact that as
yet not one single capitalist power
has succeeded in conquering China for
itself to the exclusion of other powers.
China is still to be had, it continues
to serve as the battling ground for
about half a dozen imperialist groups,
and it is in this battle that American
and Japanese capitalism have definite
ly locked horns.
The Conquest Of the Pacific
Very early in its history, the rising
American capitalist class had realized
the Importance of the countries of the
Pacific Ocean for its imperialistic ex-
pansion. The Caribbean islands,
China and the Far East generally have
for quite some time been Turing the
imagination of our enterprising imper
ialists. They see the finger of fate
reckoning to them from those far
away countries with promises of glory,
power and profits. And they have an
swered the call. They have issued on
the great conquest Of the Pacific. and

of this war of Chinese generals is the
fact that it is really war between
American and Japanese capitalism for
power and influence in China. And
the Japanese incident in Geneva is
merely reflection of struggle that
is already on.
We are drifting into big war with
Japan. What is the labor movement
of the United States going to do about
it?

NEW YORK, Oct. 8. = Girls who
work in the closed dance halls have
to dance at least 40 dances an even
ing to earn $24O, says Maria w.
Lambkin, who has just reported on
conditions in the dance halls for GER
tain social agencies. In CLOSED" halls
the girls are employed by the mana
ger and must dance with whomever
he chooses no matter how offensive
the partner may be. Miss Lambkin
suggests a minimum wage for the
girls.

high grade to the above mentioned causes.
 Another effect that the fur farm will have on the market is to sta bilize the market, as they always have a supply of animals ready to pelt. About one year in ten there is shortage of fur from different districts The cause for this short oge has never been realy explained, but has been attributed to lack ot iced in a certain district causing migration, or other natural causes. For instance the past season, the catch of fur at points mostly on the north side of the Yukon river is only about twenty-five per cent ot normal, and but for the fact that supply of fur is available from the fur farms, prices would doubtless be much higher than they are at pre- sent. AS it is, fur is high and judging from the meagre offerings that are being made, the tendency is for higher prices and a firmer market. Prices in fur are now on a higher average than they were in pre-war days, and somewhat lower than the peak they reached during the war. London reports few furs being offered and anticipates higher pl ices.
 The lowly muskrat has at last come into his own and is one of the furs most in demand for the reason that it is possible to initiate many of the higher priced furs with musk rat, and besides it is strong, well wearing fur, and it gives satisfac- tion. During the war this fur was SC high that it was practically off the market, but now it is back to a level where it is possible to pur chase it for manufacturing the prices today range from 75 cents to s1.25 per skin, according to quality but at the peak they range around S4.00.-Alaska Weekly.

The Importance
 Alaska'S fWs

The city of Seattle is rapidly forg- ing to the front as center of the fur industry, and even now is known throughout the world as one Of the leading primary fur markets.
 It is the Alaskan furs that have brought this about as the entire Alaska catch passes through this port, and very large percentage of the fur is consigned to this city, as 1t is here that it is graded and final ly sold to the eastern manufacturers.
 Many people who are not familiar with conditions do not realize the important part played by furs and hides in the business life of Seattle. When one stops to consider that be- tween three and four million dollars worth of fur is shipped from Alaska each year through Seattle and this is exclusive of the products of the fur-farming industry, one begins to sense the importance of the in- dustry.
 Fur farming in Alaska has taken on tremendous strides in the past few years and according to the gov ernment reports, there is now in excess of two million dollars invest ed in fur farms in the North, and the industry is we'll past the experi- mental stage, and is rapidly deyel- oping into a stable business.
 Of the four million dollars worth of furs that are annually shipped from Alaska, the greatest values arc in the fox pelts and muskrat pelts, although all kinds of fur goes to make, up the shipments. Beaver. marten, mink, red, white, and blue foxes, black, cross and silver foxes, muskrats, otter, lynx, ermine, brown black, polar, grizzly and silver tip bear, wolf and wolverine, are among the furs received here.
 In addition to the fox farms of the Northsthere are what. are known as diversified fur farms where beav- CT marten and mink are raised and very successfully, too. This latter branch of fur farming, while some what later in it's inception,is rapid ly forging to the front and bids fair to become as popular in the near future as the raising of the ,etrer known foxes.
 It is strange, but nevertheless true that the raising of fur on fur farms is bringing about a better grade of fur than was formerly ob- tained by trapping, which is account ed for by the fact that fur-bearing animals bred in captivity are better cared for, fed at intervals, and pelt- ed when the coat is at it's prime, and these facts coupled with the se- lective breeding that is possible with animals in captivity, has pro- duced a better grade of fur. Some of the finest belts that have ever been shown in Seattle in both silver and blue fox skins are from fur farms and from animals bre1 in cap-. tvitiy, and fur men attribute their
