FILIPINOS ARE
AGITATED BY
SHIPPING LAW
MANILA, Aug. 12 (by Associated
Press).—At a meeting of the Philip
pine Columbian Association, com
<$dlsed entirely of Filipinos educated
abroad, called for the purpose of dis
cussing the coastwise navigation laws
of the United States and their appli
cation to the Philippine islands,
Tomas Confesor, chief of the division
of commercal intelligence of the bu
reau of commerce and industry, and
lecturer on economics in the Univer
sity of the Philippines, said:
“Economically the extension of the
coastwise navigation laws of the
United States to the Philippines
would be beneficial to our country be
.^fluse in the first place the rates to be
established will not soar to the skies
as has been intimated, as the law it
self states that the rates will be ‘rea
sonable.'
“It is true that our shipping would
be monopolized by the United States,
but it is a monopoly which is regulated
because prices are under control of
law. It is a well known economic
truth that regulated monopoly such as
this is better than unrestricted com
petition.”
Manuel L. Quezon, president of the
Philippine senate, said the extension
of the laws to the Philippines would
be detrimental to the interests of the
* country because it would place the
shipping of the islands in the hands
of a monopoly and would not tend to j
make Manila a distributing center in
the Far East.
“The political welfare of the Philip
pine islands is in danger with the ex
tension of the coastwise shipping laws
here,” he added.
SPAIN BEGINS
' CAMPAIGN FOR
BETTER MEAT
J^lDRID, Aug. 12 (by Associated
Press).—Livestock breeders in Spain
have begun a campaign against the
suggested introduction of extensive
quantities of cold storage meat from
the Argentine and Australia. They
foresee with the rapidly increasing
number of refrigerating vessels avail
able the probability of importations
on a large scale from the two coun
tries named, and with the realization
of this prospect the reduction to van
ishing point of the huge profits they
have been making ever since the out
break of hostilities in 1914.
*'Spain is not a great consumer of
*neat, the average consumption attain
ing only approximately 45 pounds per
capita annually. For this the con
sumer pays dearly, probably even
more than the French, for the herds
have been diminished to a large ex
tent by exportations at high profits
during the war.

A solution to which the government
is turning its attention is that of in
ducing the people to eat less rice and
more wheat because of the great
wheat fields of Manchuria which
would be ample as a food supply, if
the people would eat wheat. The
enormous output of Manchuria is
handled by the South Manchuria rail
way which at the same time trans
ports yearly 300,000 Chinese coolies
from Shantung province to Manchuria,
where they labor in the rice lands of
the northern province. Siberia in
the great belt extending south from
Irkutsk and Omsk is a wonderful grain
field, if regularly cultivated, cabaple
of helping in the solution of the world
food problem.
“The great gram center of Winni
peg, Canada,” said a leading Japanese
business man to the correspondent,
“bids fair to be rivalled one day in
world importance by the city of Har
bin, on the border of Manchuria and
Eastern Siberia. Harbin is admirably
situated to handle the grain arteries
of the far east and I predict a great
commercial future for that city.”

CANTU’S STATE
SHOWS SMALL
■ IN POPULATIO
«*
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The population of low
er California is 64,000 and the labor
supply inadequate, according to con
sular reports from Ensenada and
Mexicali, published in a supplement to
the consular reports devoted to Mex
ico, just issued by the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce.
Consul Walter F. Doyle of Mexicali
reported:
“The population of Mexicali consu
lar district does not exceed 25,000
persons, the number living elsewhere
than Mexicali being negligible. This
population includes some 5,000 Chin
ese and several hundred Japanese.
The Asiatic population is increasing,
and the Chinese are reckoned the
most wealthy and commercially influ
ential element.
“Americans have large interest here,
both in land and buisiness, and may
be said to finance the entire busi
ness of the district. However, the
actual conduct of the ranches as oper
ators is gradually passing into the
hands of the Chinese, with the Jap
anese entering the field now in in
creasing numbers. With the excep
tion of a small and as yet undevel
oped industry, devoted to the mining
of silver-lead ores and copper con
centrates, the business of the district
is agriculture.
Consul William G. Burdette at En
senada reported:
“The population of Lower Califor
nia, exclusive of the Mexicali district,
is probably about 39,000, of whom 32.
000 live in the southern district. No
exact figures are available. La Paz
has approximately 2800 people, En
senada 1400, Santa Rosalia 300, San
Jose del Cabo 1300, Todos Santos
800 and Mulege 600.
“The American population is less
than 200, and there are less than 100
British, French, Italians and Germans.
No Japanese live in the territory ex
cept the fishermen in the camps on
the Pacific coast, the last count of
them being 85. It is stated that no
land is owned by the Japanese.
“The labor supply is inadequate, and
the abnormal wages across the bor
der are reflected here.”

JAPAN ECHOES !
GRAVE STATUS
EUROPE’S FOOD
TOKIO, Aug. 12 (by Associated
Press).—The gravity of the food ques
tion in Europe finds its echo in Jap
an where the problem of how to feed
the population, which is increasing by
600,000, is becoming yearly more press
ing. Japan has ample living space
for its people but cannot produce
enough food for them, especially rice.
Every bit of land is cultivated to the
limit of its capacity. The land of
Formosa, the island colony, is worked
to its full capacity by two million
Chinese farmers who cultivate the
rice fields with great skill. In Korea,
also, the grain harvest is considerable,
although the failure of the Koreans to
use fertilizer prevents greater har
vests.
To meet the food menace Japan, by
a special arrangement with France, is
making heavy rice imports from Indo
china. This is a costly operation,
however, the Japanese government
losing $20,000,000 last year in supply
ing Indo-China rice to Japanese peo
ple at a moderate price.
