occupation, flor protection of its nationals"
 This control is virtually cop- piete in Fengtien Province, 1t soon will be completed in Heilungkiang and Kirin Provinces. Military cen- sorship has kept the world in, ignorance of these important and significant developments.
 The parts of Manchuria now oc- cupied by Japanese troops are be- ing transformed into Q country re- sembling a Japanese colony. The c orre ondent, who has been through that occupied zone from Tsitsihar on the north to Chinchow on the south is able for the first time to offer an uncensored des- cription of the Japanese control in Tengtien Province, where Chinese authorities are now merely Japa- nese marionettes.
 Fengtien's political, banking, and industrial activity are now in the hands of Japanese advisors" Their orders are law for Chinese officials.
 The so-called peace maintenance committee of the province exercises the prerogatives of provincial gov. ernment under the dominance of three Japanese advisors, Norbia' Imayi, and Kambuka. Approxi-- mateiy 20 additional Japanese, os- tensibly protecting the committee members are actually helping the advisors" to conduct the govern ment.
 The Chinese police of Mukden are under the command Of Japa- nese Gendarmerie.
 Three Japanese advisors, lrobc. Hashino, and Nagagibe. are direct- ing the Provincial Bureau of fi- nance and industry and the Muk- den telephone exchange.
 A stan of Jananese censors su- pervisors the Fengtein telegraph administration, through which not only newspaper correspondents but consular representative are ob- liged to send reports.
 The control of Fengtein's banks, industrial, and public utilities was wrested from the Chinese. Suda. one of the Japanese advisors, to- gether with eight Japanese coun- cillors is operating the Mukden frontier bank and the bank of the three eastern provinces. Other Chinese banks at Mukden, such as the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications, are under Ja- panese surveillance.
 The Japanese have assumed management of the big Chinese trading concern, the Lida Company of Mukden. They have re-opened Chinese cotton mills under Japa- nese administration.
 The Japanese elected the Chinese directors and assumed complete management of the Fuchouwan coal mine, the largest Chinese mine in South Manchuria, they elected Chinese from the Sino-Japanese organization operating the Pen- baithu coal mine.
 Installing Japanese manager and Japanese department chiefs. the Japanese took entire control of the Chinese Light & Power com pany of Mukden and closed the Chinese electric power plants at Changchun and Antung, pending esta ablishment of Japanese man. agement under the guise of Sino- Japanese enterprises.
 Citing a military emergency as their reason, the Japanese are con-. trolling vast network of Chinese railways in Manchuria for the pur- pose of realizing two primary ob- pjectives: tf.
 Firstly the elimination of Chinese competition against the Japanese owned South aManchuria railway and Port Dairen, and secondly, achieving control of the Manchur- ian railroads by which traffic may be diverted from the Chinese East ern railroad, controlled by China and Soviet Russia.
 The Japanese financed the Chin ese construction of four railways. $he Kirin-Changchun, the Kirin- Tunhua, the SSupingkai-Taona and the Taonan-Anganchi. The first two named, formerly under separate Chinese managements, have been merged under a single Japanese administration conduct Ing all the railways business.
 The last two roads named above are now being operated by the Japanese 1t is expected that they will be fused under Japanese man. agement.
 If the Japanese attempt to re- place Chinese directors of the Chinese Eastern with men amen- able to Japan's wishes. it is consid- cred likely they will encounter de- termined opposition from Moscow.
