OUR INTERESTS IN CHINA
Ambassador Saito says that
Japan’s operations in north
China will not adversely af
fect American interests in
that area.
They probably will not for
the time being.
Ambassador Saito might
even have gone further and
pointed out the possibility
that Japanese control and de
velopment of north China will
provide an enlarged demand
for American goods and new
opportunities for commercial
investment.
A tremendous potential mar
ket lies dormant in China,
whose 400,000,000 people are
still denied the buying power
that would come by the liq
uidation of China’s great na
tural resources.
Japan apparently aims to
bring that market to life.
And if it succeeds there will
be business enough for the
whole world, at any rate for
a long time to come.
Ultimately, as China devel
ops industrially, whether un
der external pressure or of its
own initiative there will be a
decline in many lines of im
ports, as there was in the
United States, after it was
able to make for itself many
of the things it formerly had
to buy from Europe.
Conversely, as the Chinese
become more acquainted with
foreign luxuries, as their stan
dard of living rises and their
purchasing power grows,
there will be a greater de
mand for goods they do not
themselves produce.
All of which is in the dis
tant future, for China is too
big a dog for even a Japanese
tail to wag into action over
night.—Detroit Free Press.
BATTLESHIPS TO COME
After a lapse of 18 years,
the United States govern
ment is evidently about to
start construction of a new
battleship.
Under the Washington trea
ty, battleship construction in
this country has been suspend
ed. Now,however, the treaty
is about to lapse; and while
naval officials do not plan to
increase the present number
of battleships, they point out
that no fewer than seven of
our dreadnaughts will be ob
solete because of age by the
end of 1936—the Arkansas,
New York, Texas, Nevada,
Pennsylvania, Arizona and
Oklahoma.
What congress may do with
any replacement program is,
hard to foretell. The general
board of the navy, however,
believes that construction of
at least one new battleship
should start next year, with
construction proceeding at
the rate of one a year there

Since our last battleship cost
$27,000,000 it is evident that
our naval budget will contin

U. S. Department
Urges Use Of New
Poison For Weevil
(By The Associated Press)
Washington, Oct. 30, —Cot
ton farmers in the Atlantic
Coast states have been ad
vised by the department of
agriculture to be prepared
for the immiment boll weev
il attacks with a new “half
and half” weevil poison.
“Dusting” experiments for
three years at Florence, S. C.
indicated a half and half mix
lure of calcium arsenate and
lime was as effective in the
eastern belt as straight cal
cium arsenate, Lee A Strong,
chief of the Bureau of Entom
ology, said.
For the last 15 years, it was
explained, calcium arsenate
had been the standard insect
icide for boll weevils. The
new mixture, however, is
cheaper and adds less arsen
ate to the soil.
Only frequent examina
tions of cotton squares now
developing will prevent a sur
prise attack, the Department
said, adding that a 10 percent
infestation of the squares was
the signal to “get out the dust
ers.”
