Across Canada Projected
To Provide Work for Unemployed

the first call for jobs in cities, but the
bachelors will have to go north to
work on the new road. They will live
in camps operated on a cost basis with
out profit, will receive 80 cents an hour
for an eight-hour day, from which will
be deducted 80 cents day for board
and so cents a month for medical
services
Some Of the camps have already
been opened and have impressed .visi-
tors with their comfort and cleanli-
ness. There will be no military
methods in connection with the camps,
but provincial police will be available
when required. Provision Is being
made for regular medical services by
doctors resident in Northern Ontario.
Special arrangements have been made
with the railway companies for cheap
transportation, and in the case of men
who come from some distance and give
satisfactory work for at least three
months, arrangements will be made for
their return home at the reduced prices.
1t will be illegal to have liquor IN the
camps. A large amount of worb will
be done on the new highway from
Pembroke to North Bay and tbs wesa-
ern section from Schneider 20 the
Manitoba boundary.
Helps Skilled Artisans.
The various municipal undertakings
of unemployment relief works will take
care of the more skilled artisans In
building and other industries, givinS
married men preference in these OPP
portunities and thereby helping them
to obtain employment adjacent to their
family responsibilities as far as possible.
With the policy that mo Canadian
who will work shall starve," Canadians
are confident this Winters unemploy-
ment problem will be overcome.

Russian Explorations
Reveal Iron Deposits

MOSCOW-The Kuzentzstroy explo-
rations, carried on by IS groups of
biologists this Summer, have caused a
fundamental revision in the estimates
of the raw materials resources of Kuz-
netzStroy. Up to now these resources
had been estimated at 10000, 900 tons
of iron ore. New discoveries in the
Teiski, TelbeSski, TaShelginski and
Kondomski districts have increased this
figure to $4,000, 900 tons.
In Kertch, according to Prof Kantor,
who in recent years has explored the
iron ore deposits of Kertch on the Azov
Sea, the already known deposits must
be estimated at 3,o00,uo0,0oO tons. In
the northern basin another 1900, 600, 900
tons may be expected.
There are only four iron ore deposits
in the world which can compare with
those of the Kertch district. Three of
them are in America, the fourth in
Lorraine. Half of all the iron ore re-
sources Of the Soviet Union are concen-
trated in Kertch.

I japanese hoped for a while to change
Manchuria into an essentially Nippon
dependency. "Colonizing Manchuria"
became a catch word in Japan, and
those who did not drag it in at every
moment were voted inept or unpatriotic.
Even in politics, however; few years
experience is worth torrents of rhetoric.
The coloniZing. fashion passed COM
pletely. So it frequently happens. by
the way, with generalization formulas
in Japan. They take an almost cpl
demic form for time, and then, after
few years, they suddenly disappear
as mysteriously as they spread. How
can one explain. If not by this national
trait, the hundreds of thousands of con-
versions to Catholicism four centuries
ago and the extremely small number OF
Christians now left?
Peasant Has Prevailed.
The senselessness of putting up q
fight against the slow invasion Of the
Chinese cultivators is now admitted by
tary clique. After 20 years of official
favors and privileges the number of
japanese residing in Manchuria is not
more. than 100000. In the railway zone
alone, where Japan is practically a
sovereign power, the Chinese today
number $4,000. where 20 years ago
they totaled about $4,000.
Where the nationalistic manifestations
of Sun Yat-sen and the diplomatic
notes of any Chinese government would
have availed nothing, the grim work
of the Chinese peasant has prevailed.
And proud Japan, in abandoning the
attempt to COLOMBO Manchuria, has
admitted it.
During my last trip to Manchuria it
became evident to me that actually the
great idea Of all the Japanese who
think, and who are not blinded by the
interests of clans or Of the military
caste, is to concentrate their technical
and economic efforts on the installation
of great factories in Mukden and
other important Manchurian centers,
making them the basis for more
fecund conquest than the barren vic
tories of previous warS-the conquest of
the Chinese market.

In Japan more is involved-the in
stinctive objection of an entire people
whose chief moral and social ideas are
based upon filial piety. To imagine the
possibility of birth control in Japan or
China is like speaking of a Japan and
China which may possibly exist one day,
in times to come, but which will no
longer be Japan and China as we have
known them.
No doubt the vision Of some extension
of territory, practicable only through
war, haunts the older nationalistic spirit
in Japan. But-and this is the main
point which 1 wish to make perfectly
clear in this article-the present clouds
of diplomatic complications. if not OF
war, do not authorize us to believe that

Far from It.
In Japan we are confronted with a

paradoxical situation. Public opinion
at large is unanimous for a steady de-
tense of the old economic privileges
gained in Manchuria after so many
sacrifices during the war with CZariSt
Russia. But at the same time they
are for peace and for friendly develop
ment of their relations with China.
The lessons Of the futility of wars seem
to have been learned by the masses in
Japan even better than in Europe.
On the other side, the military clique,
which again has gained strong influ-
ence in Japan. gives the impression
that it is dreaming of easy laurels in
China, pressed as it is not so much
by patriotic interest, and not even by
patriotic" side of public opinion, but
by quite opposite reasons-by their fear
of the general awakening of democratic
ideals in Japan.
After their victories over Russia the
