YUKON FAVORS
RAILROAD ON
LARGE SCALE
The project for construction of a
railway to connect the Yukon with a
transcontinental line of Canada, re
cently laid before the Yukon Develop
ment League, has attracted wide no
tice and favorable comment in Yukon
territory.
The proposed line sought would feed
Atlin, Whitehorse and Dawson, and
in connection with the Yukon river
and Alaskan railways, would form
• part of the northern net that could
deliver food, freight and troops to
every northern point; Its extension
across Bering straits to a connection
with the Siberian line, often suggest
ed in the past, is also regarded as
feasible. The building of these last
links in the communication system of
the northern zone, it is believed,
would give Alaska and the Yukon an
impetus of development such as no
other project could bring.
Arguments, from other aspects, are
ll
advanced by those favoring the projec
and backing the movement to brin
action by the Dominion. These ir
elude a large possible development c
the placer fields, the vast copper field
of White river, Whitehorse and th
belt between, the newly begun hare
properties of the Atlin district, th
Mayo silver region and coal districts
No estimate of cost for the Yukoi
railroad have been made, but it i
known that those interested—whic
includes the entire territory—figur
the probable cost in millions o
dollars.

, TOKIO, Feb. 4 (Correspondence of
f the Associated Press). — National
thought in Japan has become unbal
anced of late years, asserts Dr. Saw
ayanagi, formerly vice-president of
education and now president of the
f Imperial Education Society, and mem
1 ber of the House of Peers, in an illum
inating article he has published in the
Osaka Mainichi. *
i For ages past, asserts Dr. Sawayan
; agi, Japan's thought was dominated
1 by Buddhism and Confucianism, but
• now they have lost their control over
• the minds of thinking Japanese, and
■ these persons have no further ground
> on which to stand. Since Japan was
. opened to foreign intercourse, he de
. dares, new ideas have come in and
s disturbed the thought of the people,
. but a foreign thought has supplied no
substitute for Confucianism, and so
. has failed to unify Japan’s foreign
, ideals.
The writer refers to Japan’s two vic
1 tories over China and as having se
cured her admission to the circle of
great powers and to have been the
consummation of Japan's ‘‘restora
tion.” With the accomplishment of
this restoration, Dr. Sawayanagi says,
the problem of how to unify Japan’s
Ideals again came to the front and
now is demanding solution. This ques
tion, says the writer, calls for the
greatest intellect. Until some great
leader arises who can inspire his
countrymen with great ideas, such as
are natural to them, and such as they
will accept, the problem will not be
satisfactorily solved.
It is absurd to suppose that the
movements of present uneasy thought
in Japan can be suppressed by the
police, concludes Dr. Sawayanagi.

WAR VETERANS WANT
PLANTER DENATURALIZED
HONOLULU, March 21.—Frederick
Funston, Post No. 94, Veterans, of For
eign Wars, recently petitioned United
States Attorney C. S. ftuber jto insti
tute proceedings .fej? the ,deapt«r|ll?-,
ation of George Rodiek, former mil
lionaire head of H. Hackfleld & Co.,
Ltd., which once controlled ' a lafge

involved in the conspiracy to start a
revolution against British rule in In

in San Francisco on December 6,
1917, and a few days later was fined

Mr. Hubert is of the opinion that
any action to deprive Rodiek of his
citizenship must be instituted in San
Francisco,-where he now resides.
