this was done in practical defiance of the League of Nations. So much for Manchuria. ‘ “The country is immense, immensely For a condensed review of the situa- tion one of the best articles noted re- cently is an editorial in The Ottawa Journal. This editorial covers the situ- ation fairly well, though it might be extended in some particulars. For in- stance, The Journal suggests that one murder caused the difficulty in Man- churia. There were a- number of Ja- panese citizens murdered in Manchuria. However, here is The Journal editorial as it appeared on Tuesday this week:â€" “Mr. Galsworthy once said that half the trouble with the world was that pecple jumped to conclusions without sufl cient data. Mr. Galsworthy was right; and perhaps before jumping to too hasty conclusions about what is taking place in Shanghai, and who is to blame for it, we should try to find out who began the trouble. and where, and when, and how. Japan. beingi jumped upzn by everybody, and seem- ingly at fault in bombing and partly destroying an apparently undefendedg native city, nevertheless has a case. Incidentally, according to the Japanese: Minister in Ottawa, Shanghai was not ~' an “unfortifled city,” had made wai-.r like preparations," had harbouredi "infain clothes soldierfis' i ‘All of u; are fairly familiar withf what has been happening in Manchuria. i In that vast, rich country Japan has! an investment of close upon $1,000,000,- 000. She owns the famous Southern Manchuria railway; owns rich mines and industries. Mr. Will Roge1s, the humorist, who was recently in Man'- churia, summed up the position there! ’by saying that “China owns the lot, but Japan owns everything on it." , “Last year Chinese banditsâ€"or so it was allegedâ€"murdered a Japanese ofli- cer. The Japanese Government asked the Chinese authorities for suitable action; without resultâ€"or a satisfac- tory result. 'Ilhen, later on, there was an explosion on the South Manchurian railway, whereupon the Japanese. pro- fasmg to be exasperated, and proclaim- ing that a boycott was being carried on by Chinese against Japanese goods, and that the country was being mm by Chinese bandits, marched an army into the country, are now practically in con- ‘ trol of it; or at least policing it. All A great many p30ple have been ask- ing for a condensed statement of what the trouble ls all about in regard to China and Japan. As a matter of fact much of the unpfeasantnms may be trace-d to the communists sent into China to cause trzuble and ralse aglta- tlon. Just as these emlssarles of the Soviet have bedevllled 2 number cf other countries by their evil activities.

Up to 1840 Shanghai was a second rate Chinese city sitting {on a mud flat at the mouth of the Yangtze River. 'but in 1842 became one of the five Treaty Ports opened to for- 1' sign trade. This after the Opium War. |Later on other nations saw the im- ! portance of the city; nations like I France and the United States. Today, ‘ in what is known as the International Settlement, here are British, French, United States, Italian and Japanese troops. The city is popularly known, we are told, as the Paris of the East; boasts an excellent golf course, race track, yacht club, an enormous number of disreputable resorts; also the Shan- ghai Club, with the longest bar in the world. . “The Japanese did not bombard nor attack nor invade this part of Shanghai. Only once, according to the despatches, did they set foot on it. But they bomb- ed and machine-gunned and burned “Japan, under international practice, is entitled to take action against this rmrcstt: has precedents for doing so. Therefore, some weeks ago, Japanese cruisers appeared off Shanghai. "Then came the. real trouble. First came a series of anti-Japanese editori- als in the Chinese Republican Daily News; then an attack upon five Japan- ese monks by a band of Chinese, one of the monks being killed. “Rear Admiral Koichi Shiosawa, commander of the Japanese Fleet an- chered off Shanghai, issued an ulti- matum: all anti-Japanese organizations in the foreign settlement as well as in the native cities must be suppressed “on pain of drastic naval action."

A despatch last week from Toronto says:â€"“Searching a Kirkland Lake automobile at King and York streets Thursday afternoon, police found gold ore valued at $1,100 and a revolver. Two Italians, Antonio de Grovanni and Michele Moiri. of Kirkland Lake, were arrested charged with illegal possession of gold ore. Police claim to have re- ceived information that the men left Kirkland Lake two days previously with gold in their possession. The li- ‘cense number of the car was kn-own.i l Both men were just getting into the car‘ when detectives approached to make the search. Revolver and gold were found in a pocket of the car and bul- lets for the revolver in Grovanni’s poc- kets. In police court it was establish-I ed that the two accused and anotherl man. who has since vanished, hired a taxicab in Kirkland Lake and drove to Toronto. Both the taxi driver and the owner of the taxicab, who accom- panied the accused to Toronto, swore that they knew nothing of the gold. “You are still looking for a third man who they all say was there?“ defence Counsel James Cowan asked Detective- Sergeants Tinsley and Levitt, who made , the arrests. The officers acknowledged that they were interested in a third. party. Judge Coatsworth committed! 1 the accused for trial." . Gun and Gold Found in Toronto in Kirkland Car “In the circumstances, and having regard for the solemn assurances of the Japanese Foreign Minister that Japan only desires peace and order in China. talk of Britain jumping into a war with Japan, or of interfering beyond the protection of her own rights, is sheer folly. One destroyed Chinese city is deplorabl,e and so is loss of Chineze life; but it should take much more than these things to justify the stupendous calamity of a war between England and Japan. Besides, England has her own troubles just now in India. They are going to be very costly for the British taxpayer. India might be regarded as quite sufficient share of the “white man's burden" for one nation to carry. If this China-Jap war is to be stopped or won by an outside country, We cheerfme elect a nation other than Britain to do the Job.” i “With this modern history in the memory of all of- us, there should be perhaps less haste in jumping on the Japanese, in condemning them with bell. book and candle, and in disregard of all precedents and conditions. We are being told that Japan’s conduct is in violation of the Briana-Kellogg pact. But against this is Sir Austen Chamberlain’s declaration that the right of a State to protect the lives of its nationals abroad does not depend on any treaty. Nor have we noticed that Britain or France or the United States have raised this mint at all. Their only care, thus far, apparently, is for the International Settlement. Their, latest note objects to the use of the! Settlement as a base for Japanese operations. “And later on, in the same year. Mr Baldwin dealing with the' same cbject told the House of Commons ‘hi=: “Out troops are being sent tr: the Far Eat: .to safeguard British lives in China, particularly at Shanghai. That is the only policy of His Majesty's Govern- ment.” “In the course of a debate in the Bri- tish Parliament on February 16, 1927. a member of the Labour opposition asked under what treaty rights British troop; landed on Chinese 3011‘. 'Sir Austen Chamberlain. then British For- eign Secretary, replied: “The right of a State to protect the lives of its na- tionals abroad does not depend on any treaty." ' “With what justification? No one may justify the bombing of a civil ipopulation of any city or town; not even by invoking the cruelties of war. But. admitting this, and deploring what has happened at Shanghai. let none of us go 03 at hall-cock with the idea that Japan has not had provocation; or that in taking stern measures to pro- tect her nationals and to break down an anti-Japanese boycott she is out- raging any international law or usage. She is, in point of fact, following Unit- ed States and Britain precedents.‘ “In 1926- 27 there was a Chinese boy- I cott of British goods. attacks on Bri- tirh nationals Britain landed troopsi in China prepared to protect her rights 1 Landed troops at Shanghai. 1 part of the mun city: 810,000,000 worth 2! it was burned we are told, but as muchotttoomlstedormmayslmcks the climate may be loose. 1017 .989 2899 902 1060 2801 Spares, I paint. r this week is as THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Canada built and demonstrated the first compound steam engine in the his- tory of the world.
