Japanese Have Problem
In School Admittance

Regardless of its policy to use meth
DDS which are as up-to-date as possible,
the japanese ministry of education has
decided that the written examination
Is the best test of students grasp OF
given subject. Two years ago the
authorities announced that entrance
examinations to the middle schools
would be abolished and that candidates
would be taken on the basis of their
principals recommendations, plus an
oral intelligence test. The japanese
middle school roughly corresponds to
the last three years OF grammar school
and the first two of high school in the
United States. Sufficient time has
passed, 1t Is said. 10 show that the new
system Is not satisfactory. There are
enough middle schools in the country
to take care Of all those who wish to
attend, but some of the institutions in
the larger cities are popular and many
more seek admittance yearly than can
be accepted. Under these circumstances
the students cannot be selected care
fully enough without some sort of writ
ten test. Many principals are Swayed
by personal feelings. the authorities
state, and oral examinations offer no
more than superficial idea OF what
the students really know.

= IMLA.-From talks I have had
here in Simla, it Is obvious that
the government intends taking
- even stronger hand in sup
pressing the present outbreaks
arising out of the civil disobedience
campaign before 1t will contemplate en-
tering into any negotiations with it's
leaders.
Exemplary Of this firm stand are two
ordinances promulgated by Viceroy
Lord Irwin late last night, under both
OF which arrests may be made without
warrants. and both of which strike at
the very heart OF Mahatma Gandhi's
crusade
These ordinances, which can be
made applicable to any province in
which they are thought to be required,
are a. the unlawful instigation ordi-
nance and CD the prevention OF in
timidation ordinance.
The first deals with agitation en-
couraging non-payment OF land rev.
enues, municipal dues, agricultural
rents and SO forth. This strikes at
the roots Of Gandhi's chief campaign
since by encouraging the villagers to
refuse to pay revenues as we'll as to
boycott officials, he intended either to
paralyze the British administrative arm
throughout the countryside or force
the government to use such force In
the collection OF dues that wholesale
disturbances would result
Picketing and BOycOtting Hit.
The second deals with picketing shops
and boycotting of officials or public
servants
1t is noticeable that under both of
these ordinances instigatorS themselves
can be arrested who might be adVoCat-
ing such laWbreaKing even from a spot
outside the province. For instance, an
agitator in Allahabad preaching nom
payment of land revenues in Bombay
presidency can be arrested If the Ordi-
nance Is operative in Bombay. AS
Bombay presidency is at present under
going campaign in certain sections to
refuse to pay land revenues, the above
ordinances have already been made APP
plicable there and 1 understand that
they will be applied in certain other
provinces within the next few days
From these conversations it is also
made plain that while the government
Is neither ratified nor indicative, 1t will
not send for Gandhi" The situation
here may be summed up this: That
while the government will not send any
emiSsary. official or otherwise, to talk
terms with the Mahatma, at the same
time 1t probably would not oppose any
body OF sober Indian opinion from at
tempting to see him with view of per-
suading him to call off his civil dis
obedience movement.

Exports of Canadian
Produce Show Decrease

Exports of Canadian produce in 1929
amounted to $l,l82,412,3l3, a decrease
Of $l67, 339, 900 from 1928. This de-
crease is more than accounted for by
the reduction in the exports of wheat,
which dropped more than 154, 500, 900
bushels in volume and $l84,4OO. 900 in
value from the preceding year. It is
of interest to note that the total do
nestle exports in 1929 were higher than
in the years 1921 to 1924 and that the
limited quantity Of wheat exported in
1929 was greater than IN any year pre-
viouS to 1928. The value of wheat ex-
ports In 1929 was $249 347,l74, which
was greater than in any year previous
to 1923, with the exception of 1917 and
1920 when high prices per bushel pre-
vailed. Imports for the calendar year
OF 1929 amounted to 81 ,299, OPT .480, an
increase of $76,709, 564 over 1923 and
only exceeded in the year 1920, the peak
of the postwar imitation period. The
amount of money paid out by manufac-
turing industries in wages and salaries
reached a new high record in 1929. In
1927 when the dominion bureau of sta
tisticS employment index for manu-
featuring industries was 1884, the ag-
gregate pay roll of these industries
amounted to 1894 1888 ,285. AS the en-
ployment index for 1929 was It'll. the
amount of money paid out in salaries
and wages increased proportionately.

self a year ago, would be taken now as
the signal for national uprising. The
authorities of the regency in Brussels
on the other hand, well aware Of the
spirit Of discomfort reigning in the Bel
gian capital, did not dare to refuse the
authorization for this performance. for
fear Of driving the discontinued popu-

Therefore. nothing prevented the

every air appealing to patriotism or
to the desire OF freedom was met with
loud applause.

But when the then famous tenor
Latenillade started the well known air
beginning with the words, Sacred love
of the country" the whole audience
stood up as one man, listened to the
song in profound silence as If 1t were
a national anthem or prayer and then
burst into such applause that the walls
of the theater seemed to shake with

street flung open, the crowd that was
waiting outside rushed in, every space
in the large hall was filled and Latenil-

people embraced each other, many Of

Love of their country overfilled their
hearts. That feeling mixed with hatred
towards the oppressors and the crowd
from around the theater became
menacing.

Lord Asquith has suggested that In

have on the walls diagrams and trans

referring to the exhibits lent by the

makes propaganda round of the Ger
man cities. Most interesting of these
exhibits, all OF which reveal charac-

one is able to study the organs OF the
body as they would look to eyes that

of seeing in this way what goes on

FROM an etcLlnS Dy II. u. Matthew's.
The facts in the Tully case cover
hundreds of printed pages, but as many
of them as are fairly typical may be
summarized here in a paragraph. In
February, 1910, after several years work
on the subject, Tully finished an 85-
page scenario of 1.-The Bird of Paradise"
and sold 1t to Winthrop AmeS. Later
he went to Honolulu for more material
and made numerous reViSionS, complet-
ing and copyrighting the play in April,
1911. AS soon as it achieved success at
Days Theater in 1912. a lady named
Grace A. Fender charged it's author
with having appropriated an opus en-
titled I'm Hawaii" which she later ad-
mitted having written in a week, and
which had neVer-and has never-been
printed or produced. The action was
not brought to trial until IL years later.
Miss Fender did not copyright her play
until 1916, four years after the inStitu-
ton OF her suit, and did not produce
at the trial any manuscript which had
any existence prior to the publication
and production of Tully's play"
Defendants Brief Quoted.

this sentence Is quoted, adds that, while
