GOVERNMENT IN MANCHUR1A
American, Adviser to Rail-
way, Says She Does Not
Seek Domination.
Hopes to Aid in Solution of
Economic Problems and
Assist Chinese.

,1anan hopes to aid in the solution of
her own economic problems and at the
same time assist at least one portion
of the chinese people by forcing the
establishment of stable government
This slant on the situation in the
Far East was given here by Henry w.
kinney, former American newspaper
man, who is adviser to the South Man
churia Aailway Co. and has for l3 years
made his home in that part OF the
world
Disavoving any inclination on the
nart of Japan toward imperial DONNA
tion over a land where she has more
than 900. 600 subjects, Kinney, the
on1v foreigner employed on the South
Msnchurian line by the japanese,
savs the hope is for Ch1nese
ciIi1 government which will bring about
a regime of peace and order as soon as
| possible.
Turn to Industrialism.
AS kinney explains it, the japanese
population is increasing at the rate OF
Something like 100000 annually.
Emigration being neither feasible nor
possible to take care OF this great num-
| her, the country has turned to the prin-
Clple OF lluuoLI ltbllHaVAoA4 w AAA0A'
| work for the people.
For this To be successful there must
he a source of supplies of raw material
and a market for the finished product.
Manchuria is the solution.
Of untold resources, agricultural and
mineral, Manchuria is the logical place
from which to draw supplies when they
can be produced. nm
Populated by 30000,0O0 people ana
with room for 75,000,000, stabilized
government, Mr.. Kinney adds, would
attract colonization, principally by the
North Chinese, who can stand the
rigors of the climate, and thus build up
the necessary buying market.
The japanese already have extensive
holdings in Manchuria, acquired as the
result of the war with Russia. and are
nrepared to invest more there. But
foreign capital also is needed, and Kin
nev sees peace as the magnet to draw
this,
VIII Follow "Open-DoOr" Policy.
In this connection he emphasizes that
the Japanese government will follow
enthusiastically the "open-door' policy.
China as well as Japan would prosper
under such conditions as he outlines,
Mr.. Kinney emphasizes.

Kinney insists that it is no "war"--is
simply the elimination of a long series
of abuses, brought to head by the
destruction of small section of the
South Manchuria, north of Mukden, by
Chinese soldiers in September.
Standing by itself, that incident is Of
little moment, he explains, but as link
in a chain of outrages it assumes i'm
portant proportions.
Manchuria, he says, has been an un-
happy land, plundered and pillsged by
those In authority, no less under the
guise of law than under reign of law
lessness.
Banditry is one of the great problems,
this activity having been almost a rec
ognized occupation. Soldier bandits, or
bandit-soldiers, are practically inter-
changeable professions. Kinney explains,
adding, more humorously, that there Is
another class-the occasional bandits, "
who turn to this method of livelihood
when other businesses, farming, for in
