OTTAWA, Ontario.-The only bless.
ing of the unemployment problem in
Canada Is that 1t has forced the con-
Struction of a tranScanadian highway
stretching across the dominion from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Work on
the new road has begun. The federal
government will pay so per cent of the
cost and the provincial governments
the balance.
Senator Gideon Robertson, minister
of labor in the Bennett government, has
agreed with the governments of the
various provinces as to the work to be
carried on under the provisions of the
unemployment and farm-relief act Sc
that no Canadian who Is able and will
ing to work will starve this Winter
Unemployment registration shows there
are about 100000 Canadians jobless
but Prime Minister Bennett will be
able to meet the situation, as the
Canadian Parliament voted him a
blank check" at the last session to
deal with the relief problem. It is
estimated that $l00,000,000 may be
needed.
Big Public Works Program.
Unemployment relief works to be
undertaken by the federal government
include construction of public build
ingS, wharves, repairs to both, and
generally needed works of all descrip-
tions. Municipalities in all parts of
Canada will carry on local improve
ment works, as Is per cent of the cost
will be paid by the federal government
and another IS per cent by the >provir-
cial governments. Approval of the
provinces is required.
All of the larger Canadian cities are
taking advantage Of federal and pro-
V1ncial assistance. Montreal is spend
ing about $25 1000 900 this year, while
Ottawa, the capital of Canada, with
population of $4,000, will proceed
$4,000, 900.
All of the governments of tho nine
provinces are cooperating in an effort
to create employment. Last month
Premier TaSchereau of Quebec and his
colleagues awarded SIC, 088, 800 to l,24l
municipalities for unemployment relief
works and $1,438.93O for direct relief.
The situation in Eastern Canada is not
nearly as bad as In the prairies. where
the drought has brought thousands to
practical starvation. Immediate atten-
ton Is being given to rural municipali-
ties in areas that have been without
crops.
To Employ 10000 Single Men.
It is estimated that in Ontario.
Canada's largest and most wealthy
province, more than 10000 single men
will be employed on the construction
Of the great transcanadian highway.
Married men without work will be given

HouSe-probably mas its foundation in
the accomplishments of Senior Puig in
the field of public education. 1t really
dates back from the days when, still a
young man, he Joined the revolutionary
movement to overthrow the Diaz die
tatorship and from the time he became
an influential element in politics, both
| through his newspaper campaigns and
his brilliant oratory in Parliament. But,
undoubtedly, what brought his name
into national prominence, and even
made him known outside the Mexican
borders, were his jealous efforts to adj

new methods, reducing illiteracy and
improving the intellectual level Of the
Mexican population.
Is Still Student.
| Whoever thinks Of PUG Casauranc in
Mexico thinks CT the progress of popu-
lar education. Of the "maestros mi
sioneros" and "misiones culturales''
which went to tie remotest corners OF
Mexico to teach the poems and the
poorer classes, of the special system OF
education devised for these, of the in
novations introduced in the elementary,
secondary and advanced schools in
which the sons Of the better classes are
educated.
To be the originator of such a vast
system of public education as he intro
duced in Mexico, Senior Puig had to be
born student a man of high in
tellectual ideals and an Unsuitable de-
sire for knowledge. Thus, whoever
visits him today in his new ambaSSa-
dorial Office should not be surprised to
ind him engrOSS@d in his studies, sur
rounded by his books and the manu-
scripts in which he is daily turning out
his writings. He is now an Ambassador,
but he has not stopped being student.
And writer
When visited him a few days ago
l found Ambassador PUG setting in
black and white his editorial notes for
ReSumen, the original publication he
owns and directs in Mexico City. He
has not ceased to be newspaper man,
| either. He admits the truth of the old
saying, "Once a newspaper man, al
ways a newspaper man." And takes
pride in stressing that his main line of
endeavor is in that field.
He has reasons to do so. He is at
present undertaking an entirely new ex-
pertinent in Mexican journalism by the
publication of his periodical Resumen
now an illustrated weekly, but soon
to be made a daily. Resumen is diff
ferent from all other publications ap-
pearing in Mexico. Perhaps in all of
Latin America. It differs in that it Is
a periodical which aims to interpret the
news and the trend of national and
international affairs. It's purpose is
not only to give the news, but to in
terpret it, comment upon 1t, judge it
from the point of view OF its editorial
policy.
Newspapers today are becoming more
and more industrial concerns, devoted
almost exclusively to the dissemination

Japan's Fast Multiplying Increase
In Population Still Source of Worry

TOKIO.-The multiplying population
OF Japan, source of concern to social
statisticians and economists for more
than decade, shows no sign of di-
minlshing. The margin between births
and deaths last year, the government
reports, was 9l4,234. In only one other
year, 1925, has the increase been so
great a ratio of 14.18 TO every 1000
of population in Japan proper ex-
Guiding Korea, Formosa and other
possessions.
Births, the figures show, numbered
2,0s5,l01, or a daily average of 5,713
This total was larger by BOTS than in
1929, but the ratio of 1926 per 1000
OF population was lower by .65 Dur
Ing the last 80 years the ratio has
Kept above 80 per 1000 except in 1906,
following the RuSso-Japanese War.
The highest, 36.l9. was recorded in
1920. With the exception. of British
India, no other nation shows SO large
q birth rate.
Stillbirths Decreasing.
Were it not for stillbirths the rate
for Japan would be even greater. In
1880 a total of 117,730 babies were
born dead, a ratio of 1888 to 1000 of
population. With advances in medical
kIlOWleQRe, SGlIlDlILnS III Japan nave
steadily waned, but they are still more
numerous than in any other civilized
nation.
Better medical practice is also re-
sponSible for longer life span, with
the result that deaths have decreased.
Last years large net increase in popu-
lation was made possible by fall in
the death rate, the total being only
s,l70,867, or a daily average of 3.208,
a decrease of 90,361 from the 1929
total and a decrease of 1877 to 1917 in
the ratio per 1000 population. The
statistics bureau of the cabinet, re-
sponsible for the figures, points out
that not since 1868 has the death rate
been so low. The doctors Of Japan have
not conquered death. however, for the
rate is much higher than in many other
nations British India alone is said to
have a higher rate, and those in Spain
and France are about the same as
Japan's.
Deduction of the deaths from the
lbirths gives the net increase Of 9l4,-
P34. The total is higher by 98,436

BY COUNT CARLO SFORZA,


Former italian Minister for Foreign Affairs.
TINE terrible problem of Japan is
the increase of her population.
According to the most recent
Il figures published by the imperial
Office of statistics. Japan proper
has more than 100000 inhabitants,
with a population density of 382.72 in
habitants per square mile-an increase
of 20.5 over the corresponding figure for
the census of 1920. When considering
the area of the land under cultivation
as basis, Japan takes first place among
densely populated countries. She comes
before Belgium and Italy-a dangerous
privilege.
The difficulty of the situation Is in
creased by the fact that agriculture is
no longer the happy basis of the empire.
The agricultural crisis all over Japan is
very grave The fertility of the soil has
decreased, and farmers are experiencing
diflculty in procuring tools and the
necessary material for working the land.
Though no workman in the town lacks
his bowl Of rice, the great majority of
the peasants must content themselves
with a diet of half rice. half barley. The
main thing IS to fill ones self-it is of
no avail to think about vitamins.
Discomfort among the peasants, should
it coincide with a labor crisis, might
well happen to bring about a great
revulsion similar to those which the
japanese have experienced in the past
and which the founders of modern
Japan perhaps were wrong to ignore
when they were being supported by
wave Of loyalty and patriotism.
Several Methods Discussed.
In order to deal with the natural
increase of population, several methods
have been discussed in Japan-birth
control. extension Of national territory,
emigration and, lastly, development OF
industry.
The problem of birth control In Japan
is confronted with difficulties a million
times graver than in our countries. In
Europe, for instance, the opposition
originates in a jealous safeguarding of
the national vitality. gripping love Of
the race and of the races historical
heritage, and, finally, In religious
objections.

III NI1IS6E ISCeuL events nave kept
Mexico on the front page of
American newspapers during
Il the last few weeks. In their
chronological order they are:
l. The extraordinary monetary meas
ureS adopted by the Mexican govern
ment to overcome critical financial con-
ditions in that country;
2. The publication of an unusual
book, by an unusually gifted writer
Stuart ChaSe'S "MeXico"-which has
given the American reader an entirely
new, romantic and comprehensive
vision OF the most picturesque nation
on the other side Of the Rio Grande,
and
8. The arrival in Washington Of a
new diplomatic representative from
that neighboring Latin American re-
public.
1t is with the last one that the
washington reader is most concerned.
The reception OF a new foreign chief
Of mission by the President Of the
United States is, for the reader inter
ested In international affairs, far more
important than the simple protocolar
ceremonies at the White House would
indicate.
Personality Important.
And when the new foreign diplomat
happens to come from Mexico, the
nearest Latin neighbor of the United
States nation which has repeatedly
figured in the history of this country
ana happens to be man of the bril-
liant personality and prestige Of DR..
Jose Manuel PUG CaSSauranc, such
public interest is amply justified.
In TINS twentieth century Of ours in
ternational relations do not depend en-
ca0TnfC
Of state. Personal contacts, the in
fiuence OF personal acquaintance, have
come 10 play a paramount role in the
conduct OF nations toward one another.
Personalities, not only principles, are
today behind the tides and waves OF
international relations. With the re-
suit that diplomacy is day by day
becoming less theoretical and more
humane, more practical.
Perhaps 1t is admitting this trans
formation-and evidently following the
dictates Of public opinion-that the
governments Of the world have dis
tlnctly naugurated a new trend In
diplomatic appointments. Instead Of
the classical, old-fashioned career dip
lomat, OF embroidered uniforms and
shining decorations, they are sending
men strange to diplomatic tactics, but
OF solid intellectual or business repu-

ers, industrial leaders-to represent
them in those foreign countries where
most problems stand in the way. CT
friendship and mutual understanding.
This policy has been true of num-
Der OF European and American States
since the close of the World War. And
particularly So of the present admin
istration OF the United States. 1t is
well to remember, in this connection,
that the Mexican government and the
Mexican people had special oppor-
tunity to appreciate the benefits OF TINS
policy, for it was to Mexico that the

typical exponent of this modern
diplomacy-this diplomacy of non
diplomatS-waS sent by President Hoo
yer, the late Ambassador Morrow,
New to Diplomatic Service.
Senior Jose Manuel PUG Cassauranc,
the New Mexican Ambassador to Wash
ington, belongs to this type of men.
He is not a diplomat of career. This
is his first post; that is, he is begin
ming from the top. He is beginning
where others end after years and years
of slow promotions and periods of
enduring waiting.
Up to now Senior PUG has been a
prolific writer, an apostle of education
in his country, renowned public
speaker and an outstanding politician
not in the sense in which this term is
interpreted here. but, rather, a poll
tician in the sense the Latin Arneri-
cans understand the word: Q per-

MOSCOW, u. S. S. R.-The Kasak-

is expected to produce $4,000 tons Of
