Somebody has been puting the tex the "Sphere" that wust ilstrated London weekly which surveys the world willy a pictorial find informative eye. In the latest issue to hand there is a photographie symposium of Manchoukuo under the title "Japan and Her Young Domition," and one of the pictures is of 2 pawnshop bearing a gigantic racter "ang" symbolic of pawnshop The caption informs the reader: "The large sign on the wall of this building is the counterpart in Ma choukuo of the three golden balls the outside of pawnshops in other parts of the world." It. goes on to describe the picture as "taken Mukden which was once the' capital of Manchuria and in Japan's New Stale now ranks second in importance to the rapidly growing Hsinking." Unfortunately for the "Sphere" the picture has no origin in Mukden but of a Well-known pawnshop at the corner of Seward and Fearon Roads, Shanghai, which street signs are plainly discernible in the photograph. Mistakes will happen, of course, but there will be stout objection raised to the inclusion of Shanghai in any new Japanese state.
