E. N. Rhodes, Min- lster of Fisheries, with regard to the prospects of developing the oyster industry in this Province. Mr. Rhodes‘ statement was made in anticipation of the plans of the De- partment, for the leasing of oyster areas in the Malpcque region and other suitable grounds in the Pro- vince which are not now public commercial oyster beds. The leases will be for a term of twenty years and will be renewable, so that les- bees may be assured of a length of tenure sufficient to warrant them 1n undertaking the work and out- lays necessary to build up success- ful farming. This plan has been adopted following the handing ovcr of the areas to the federal author- ltles by the Provincial Government 1n 192B, and after extensive re- search work had demonstrated, in the words of the official report, "that the Malpeque region can be made to produce a much larger quantity of oysters than it ever produced in the past and that oys- ter farming can also be extended to cover large areas in other parts of the Province." i Pull details of the federal plan, summarized in yesterday's Guard- lan, are given elsewhere in this issue. It is hoped that ‘all interested will cooperate and that the once flour- ishing oyster industry of the Prov- lnce will again be revived and the output increased to an extent even greater than in the past. more effect on Japan than on any other nation, because Japan's trade JAPAN AND CHINA One of the most difficult prob- lems that has confronted the League of Nations Council is its present task of composing the dif- Irrcnces which have arisen between China. and Japan. The situation is a difficult one in many ways. In most cases with which the League has to deal it is comparatively easy to say when there has been aggression. If the troops of one country cross a recognized frontier into another country. that act in itself constitutes aggression. 1n the present instance, as the Vancouver Province points out, matters are more complicated. The Japanese are in Manchurla, the part of China in which trouble has arisen, under the terms of a treaty. They have a right to be there. They have their leased territory in the Liao- tung Peninsula-the southern tip of Manchuria. They have railway concmions of large magnitude, and great commercial interests» Altogether, about three-quarters of Japan's investments abroad are in Manchurlaand there is no doubt of Japan's intention to protect those interests. Under her treaty with China, she has a right to maintain troops in the leased ter- ritory and along the railway line. For years she has been assuming the right to protect her commercial interests, and minor clashes, the result of this assumption, have been of fairly frequent occurrence. The Chinese insist that Japan has been the aggressor in the pres- ent series of incidents, and have appealed to the League to order Japan to withdraw her troops to the zone in which. under a strict interpretation of the treaty, they have a right to be held. But it is not easy for the League to issue an order of this kind and make it effective. Out of the treaty have grown the Japanese commercial enterprises, and the conduct of these enterprises involves the pres- ence of large numbers of Japanese subjects in Manchuria. Meanwhile the actions of the ‘Japanese military, which appear to have been somewhat harsh, have had the effect of rousing intense feeling in China, cw»..- of today ls somewhat different from the old China. in which " - l ' .._-.

But the Japanese aggression-if it can be called that-has served as a heal- ‘ing agency. lt has brought the war- ring elements within China togeth- er, and there is a very insistent de- mand for war on Japan. President Chiarlg Kai Shek is reported to have threatened hostilities, even if he bankrupts the country for fifty years. War, however, is unlikely. China, so far as military and naval forces are concerned, is almost defenseless. while Japan is among the six or seven great world powers. But China has defenses of a different sort, her magnitude, the inacces- ibility of her vital parts, the num- bcrs and character of her people. No nation can hope for much cred- it in a war with China. and nations which have conquered the Chinese in the past and have even ruled over them have found that, in the end, the Chinese won. They swal- lowed up their conquerors. China has another defense, too- the public opinion of the world. World opinion has already com- pelled the Japancse imperialists to modify their policies and moderate their demands, and it is still pow- erful and inclined to favor the weaker rather than the stronger PBFW.

Their attitude is purely a mental one and they should escape from it-they should take a brighter view of life and make reasonable expenditures in- stead of practicing unjustifiable economies. The export market may be more or less beyond our control, but the domestic market can be improved by the deliberate action of Can- adians who at present are piling up money in the banks at a tremend- ous rate. The savings of depositors increased by no less than $10,000,- 000 in a recent month and the Canadian banks to-day have some- thing like $2,700,000,000 on deposit, without considering the sums held by trust and loan companies. The increase in these deposits is being caused by the refusal of many peo- ple to make the purchases which they ordinarily nuke. pneumonia, influenza, and other dis- eases. Following this, Dr. John E. Walk- er, Opelika. Alabama, undertook a more thorough investigation of the use of soap to kill ofl harmful or- ganlsms. He began by using chem- ically pure compounds, and from these results then tried out the or- dinary commercial laundry and toilet souPt, and found that the re- sults obtained from these commerc- ial soaps agreed with the results ob- tained from the chemically pure compounds. What did he find? That the ordinary soaps possess marked power to kill of‘! the organ- isms that cause the infections of nose, throat and chest. He found that even 1 part in 80 would destroy these organisms, and when you realize that in an ordin- ary thick lather used in handwash- ing the proportion is 1 to 12, you can see how effective is the ordin- ary washing of the hands in killing off harmful organisms.

Seventy-five per cent of serious crime is committed by those under foreign trade. As a highly-indus- triallzed, nation, Japan must have a market for her goods, andChina her best and most promising market. Even for enlarged conces- slons in Manchuria, which a war might bring. it is doubtful if Japan would care to injure permanently her prospects of a growing trade with China. HOME TRUTHS Under the caption "Liberals need not Exult," some very plain home truths are spoken by that organ of militant Liberalism, the Vancouver Sun. Reproving Liberals .who are exulting over and misrep- resenting the measures taken by Premier Bennett in, dealing with trade with Britain and United States, the Vancouver Sun says : “Partisan Liberals and their press and their ex-Premier take a great deal of glee at some of the drastic steps which the Bennett Government is making in its efforts to balance Canadian trade. "Liberals need not exult; they and their leader, Mackenzie King. are partly to blame for the pre- dlcament Canada finds itself in to- day with respect to United States trade. “The day in 1922 that United States talked about putting a Ford- ney tariff against Canada, the same afternoon Mackenzie King should ‘have got up on the floor of our Canadian Parliament and announc- ed an equally high tariff against United States. m did no such thing on that day, nor on subsequent days, nor in subsequent years. "The result was that United States traded Canada ofl’ its feet. The Fordney tariff was followed by a succession of tariffs and restric- tions against allowing Canadian manufactured goods into United States. Canadians were allowed to sell United States our raw mater- ials. Our muskrat hides or our pulp- stone granite went in duty free, but if Canadians endeavored to tan that hide or in any way manufac- ture that granite, it was immediate- ly subierted to insurmountable dut- ies." The article concludes by again "“‘*"""n" Liberals that "there is those twenty-five years 0f age. The crime of older men is ~less,serious. The young risk their lives and do that which brings them long terms of imprisonment or capitalgpunish- ways spend considerable time in washing the hands with ordinary soap and water. Moreover it was shown that the activity of soap was at least doubled when the temper- ature of the water was at 96 degrees to 98 degrees F, or about body tem- perature. Now when we remember that all about us, there are organisms that can cause trouble and that our hands are touching these things constantly, it is certainly gratifying to know that the regular and fre- quent washlng of the hands with the ordinary laundry or toilet soaps merit. ‘Three principal explanations are offered: lack of discipline at home, in the schools and a relaxa- Wm 05 general moral standard since the War. The Calgary Herald Sllgilests that it "is probably true that the wave of extravfl-gance and gambling which swept over this continent in the latter half of the last decade under-mined the mo... al and spiritual fibre of the people to a marked extent. The lure of easy money drove thoughts of thrift and industry out of fashion. The 10h! depression has made ghe older generation return to sane liv- B and thinking. but a section of the new generation, lacking 1n moral and mental stamina, contin- is still possible, and that grmgd assault on society is the quickest way to get it." i195 to believe that an easy living matter already has been presented is sufficient to destroy the organ- isms that cause the nose, throat and chest ailments. Washing dishes or other utensils with good hot soapy water is pretty good health insurance for the household.
