of Dollars in Foreign Capital Has Been Invested in De- velopment of Some of Country's Resources.

New York, Feb. 10 (UP)-The richest undeveloped country in the world today is the prize for which the opposing factions in China are fighting.
 The opposing factions are: South China, represented by the nationalist leaders and soldiers of Canton.
 2-North China represented by a loose coalition of the Marshals Chang Tso-Lin, of Manchuria. Sun Chuan- Fang, of KiangSu, and Wu Pei-Fu, of the province of Hupeh until the Cantonese drove him from it a few months ago.
 In almost all respects the south ern and northern Chinese differ, ph. sically, intellectually, linguisti- cally and especially politically.
 The Foreigner Factor
 A third factor in the troubles of China is the foreigner. When for eigners first penetrated China, the Chinese of their own accord urged foreigners to accept tracts of land at various ports, on seas and rivers, upon which to form their own com munities policed by foreign police. administered by foreign administra- tors and subject to foreign laws The Chinese did so because they did not care to mingle with foreigners, whose ways they did not under stand.
 The tracts, or concessions, were developed with foreign money and became valuable. Factories were built, banks were founded, public improvements were installed and millions of dollars were invested. About 15 years ago there came the Chinese revolution and the founding of republican government in China. The republic did not function well in the beginning and 1t steadily has become less efficient.

MARIE fAV0RS NEW RUMANAN CAPITAL
Seeks to Have Americans EStab- iSh in BraSOY

Bucharest, Rumania. Feb. 10 P Queen Marie in a published in- terview states that while in the United States she discussed a scheme for building a new capital in place of Bucharest by American enterprises. Her wish is to transfer the capital from Bucharest for esthetic reasons and in the na- tional interest. She is said to favor Brasov (Kronstadt in Transyl- vania, the geographical center of Rumania.
 The queen declares that Ameri- cans are able and willing to realize the project but would require a lease of land for a determined pe- riod to cover expenses, but other wise would impose no obligations.
 "The world has been accustomed to consider Americans as shop keepers" says Queen Marie. T knw them and their hearts and I am convinced that with little effort on our part Americans with their practical spirit would come to ouA aid and work miracles in our coun. try"
 The United States is a country, she added, which must be seen to be appreciated; it would be impos- sible to give an impression by speech or writing. The queen re- gretted having missed visiting the Ford plant, "the low price of whose product permits American work men to enjoy their Sundays in the country"
 Regret having been expressed that Rumania had no Ford factory, the queen replied: Tt would not be difficult to have one; they only have to be asked and they would come"

HORRORS!
Holden, Mass, Voting List Published and Age of Every Woman Is Printed Thereon.

Holden. Mass, Feb. t0 CP)-- Woman's choicest secret--her age has been revealed here on a whole sale scale, and Holden's feminine voters are vcxed.
 As per the annual custom, new voting lists were posted in the town hall. A few minutes later a woman, perusing the lists, discovered the aw- full thing that had happened.
 Beside each woman's name was her age in bold, black type, while the ages of the males, which didn't matter much anyway, were missing.
 When other women voters hedrd of the discrimination an appeal was made to Assessor George E. Caswell. He referred the delegation to Mrs. Frances Phillips, town clerk, whose age was among those barred. She didn't know how it happened and neither did the district tax supervis- or, but the women still hope 10 place the responsibility.

It Is the nationalist purpose to regain for China control of the territory, con- sessions, onces scheerfully given the foreigners. The Cantonese want to abrogate the extra-territoriality treaties which gave foreigners the right to govern themselves and to enjoy the jurisdiction of their own courts in China.

it's dealers of supplies, oil, gaso- line, engines and equipment and boat builders and boat repairs.
 Dependent upon the catches of the purse seine fleet are 12 can neries on Puget Sound. Each of these plants during the fishing sea son employ from 100 to 25O men and women, who would be thrown out of employment if the supply of raw fish is removed.
 Opposed to these 12 canneries are z trap owners who asserted in the petition to the Fisheries Board that they owned or controlled 85 percent of the traps. Official fig ures from 1915 to 1925 show that 20 percent of the fish caught were taken from traps, 27 percent by purse seiners and 3 percent by gill net and. other gear.
 If the motive back of the Order adopted by the majority of the board was one of conservation there can be no objection. But it seem pertinent to ask why steps should not be taken to curtail trap fishing that takes 70 percent of the fish from the water, or at least curtail the activities of each group in equal proportion.

Order number IS, promulgated by the Washington State Fisheries Board, is not of effect because of lack of official publication. This order, which would eliminate the purse seiners of the State of Wash ington entirely was protested by the fishermen of that State in a meeting held in Everett during the past month.
 The cannerymen favored the passage of this restriction and de- clared it necessary for the preser- vation of the salmon industry.

Washington Has Fisheries Fight Seine Restrictions Held Up
 By Governor Hartley

The resignation of three members of the Washington State Fisheries Board was accepted during the past week and also suspended or der number IS passed by this board two months ago. This order plac- ed very drastic restrictions on seine operations and was signed by two members of the Board with the third member opposing the meas ure.
 In a statement to the press Gov ernor Hartley said: 'fThe State fisheries was created for the pur- pose. of working out perpetuation of the salmon industry in the State of Washington. Controversy has arisen in the board over very important phase of it's work.
 From the very nature of the fishing industry it is absolutely es- sential that members of the board should work in harmony. For this reason the members of the board asked that they be relieved of duty and I am therefore complying with their resignations as of the date o1 June 15 and shall proceed to ap- point a new board.
 sOrder number IS is the subject of a widespread dispute among
The Alaskan., 1927-06-10

those engaged in the fishing indus try. I shall recommend to the New Board that the order be suspended to allow fishing operations to be carried on as usual this year and that they then make thorough investigation of all matters per- taining to the industry So that any new rulings or orders which, pro- mhlgated net year, will come in advance of the time when invest ments are made in fishing gear equipment and supplies for the 1928 season.
 "In selecting the new board it will be my purpose to pick men not involved in any controversy with relation to the fishing indus try and who have no direct inter- est in the industry but have a gen. eral knowledge of fish and fisheries in order that they may give impar- tial consideration to the question of salmon protection without regard to the effect on any particular class or type of fishing gear but act sole ly in the interest of the industry as a whole, for the benefit of the industry as whole, for the en- tire state.'
