Nursing Home, Hongkong, io Masse, wife of P. H. Suckuixc, a son. i agent, the Manchoukuo Government, to go back upon the assurances which have so frequently and so glibly been given. It has already been shown that similar processes are already afoot in north China. Reports appearing in the Japanese press indicate the plans which are being made for the development of that area. If those plans follow, with any degree of closeness, the details given in the reports, in a few years there will be seen the establishment of a system of monopolies which will reduce the major foreign interests to a nullity. There is room for all in China. Figures given in the House of Commons by the President of the Board of Trade show that British trade with China was increasing up to the time of the outbreak of hostilities, So was the trade of other nations, including that of Japan; but that apparently was not sufficient, and, having ruined the China trade by her military incursions, Japan is apparently endeavouring to save as much as she possibly can for herself by endeavouring to wipe out foreign competition. That is the only possible way of looking at the matter, and the conclusion to be drawn is that the assurances which have been so freely given are hardly worth the effort made in their utterance. duet.
