TOKYO, Oct. 7.-Japan's foreign trade returns for the first half of 1929, just published, show the con- tinuation of commercial relation ship with the United States that is without parallel with the great powers. America absorbs more than two-fifths of all the goods that Japan sells abroad, placing the is- land empire in position of eco- homie dependence upon her big trans Pacific neighbor that is not equalled in the situation of any other pair of first class powers.
 Statesmen and publicists on both sides of the Pacific have pointed to this business status as a mighty influence. for continued peace be- tween the two countries. War wi n America, they have argued, would mean early bankruptcy for Japan.
 In the first six months of 1929 JapanS total foreign trade was 2,316 100000 yen, approximately s1,- 111,700,00o Of this, 8l2,O00, 900 yen or 35 per cent, was with the United States. Japan sold abroad goods valued at 1,017,O0O,0O0 yen ($488,- 160OOO) of which 418,000,O00 yen or All per cent, went to America She spent abroad 1,299 100000 yen ($623 ,52O,00O) of which 394 ,00O 00O,

third of her total foreign business is regularly done with America: about 30 per cent of all her pur- chases aboard are made in Ameri- ca year in and year out.
 Next to America, China is Ja- pans best customer, but her an- nual bill of goods averages about 40 per cent of Japans sales to America. For the first half of 1929 China bought 166 million yen worth from Japan and sold her 1l0 million yen worth. These fig ures, however. do not represent all Japan's business with her mainland neighbor, for in the same period she shipped goods worth 69 millions to Kwangtung Leased Territory and bought to the value of 104 mill lions in the same territory. Kwang- tung is merely an outlet and ware house for the rich hinterland of Manchuria.
 Following China in importaace to Japan's foreign commerce comes British India, then Australia. Great Britain, Germany, Canada and | France.
 Americas exports to the whole of the British Empire, including her nextdoor neighbor, Canada, form a considerably smaller proportion of her total foreign commerce than the percentage of Japan's export trade which goes to the United States.

 "Old floss" is one of those gems Joe Mccarthy spotted in his mana gerial days in the American asso- citation. J. Riggs rewarded his benefactor by hitting .338 in 1926, .344 in 1927, 1924 in 1928 and around .36o in 1929.
 Jimmy and J. Riggs are planted" down in the center of the batting order where their hits produce runs. Jimmy bats fifth and J. Riggs in sixth place.

ment of the Triangle will be COM
pleted before any recommendation is

any provision for the traffic congestion
which is likely to ensue upon the erec-
ton and occupations Of the Government
