SPHERES OF INFLUENCE.
I
Abolition of spheres of influence j
in China was recommended in a
resolution adopted at a recent meet
ing in Shanghai of the Association
of British Chambers of Commerce
in China and Hongkong. This asso
ciation includes representatives of
most important British commercial
interests in the Far East.
Its action is regarded as sig
nificant because it has long been
claimed that Great Britain has been
able to obtain a dominant position
in trade in China chiefly by reason
of the vast extent of British spheres
of influence, which is said to over
shadow those of all other countries.
The conference resolved that the
time had come to reaffirm the aboli
tion of the “open door’’ as an es
sential commercial principle and
that abolition of spheres of influ
ence should be accomplished by in
ternational agreement.
The British government was asked
by the association to remit a por
tion of the Boxer indemnity and
devote it to the education of Chi
nese along British lines.
The association expressed its sym
pathy with the desire of the Chinese j
to abolish the plan of extra-terr:
toriality, but declared a stable gov
ernment should first be established,
a satisfactory code of laws enacted, j
and that the Chinese judicial system]
should be reformed.
It asked also that the British 1
government should put into immedi- .
ate effect the measures adopted by •
the International Opium Conven- ]
tion in 1912, restricting traffic with
Chinese in narcotic drugs. It de- :
manded that piracy on Chinese riv- ;
ers should be suppressed.
NICKEL IN ALASKA.
Nicked minerals are known to oc
cur at several localities in Alaska,
but none of the deposits have yet
been worked. One group of these
deposits is described in a recent
publication of the U. S. Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior,
Bulletin 712-C, “Nickel Deposits in
the Lower Copper River Valley, Al
aska,” by R. M. Overbeck. They
lie 12 miles east of Spirit moun
tain, in a high range east of Cop
per river and south of C-hitina
river, on Canyon creek. Chitina,
the nearest town, is about 12 miles
away. The country rock is schist
cut by intrusive basic igneous rocks.
The chief nickel deposit appears to
be connected in origin with the basic
igneous rock. The ore body is cut
by a fault and has not been de
veloped by underground or surface
workings, so that its extent is not
known. The ore minerals are sul
phides which have been altered by
weathering. An analysis of the
nickel-bearing sulphise was made,
but owing to the presence of im
purities a formula for the mineral
could not be obtained. The other
sulphides are pyrrhotite and chalco
pyrite. A selected specimen of this
sulphide ore analyzed in the Geo
logical Survey laboratory showed
7.23 percent of nickel.
A number of rusty croppings of
igneous bodies on Canyon creek have
been staked, and assays arc report
ed to show a small percentage of
nickel. A specimen of sulphide ore
from one of these croppings showed,
when tested in the Geological Sur
vey laboratory, only a minute trace
of nickel.
The extent and probable value of
these deposits could be determined
only by careful sampling and by
some development work below the
partly oxidized surface capping.
A copy of Bulletin 712-C may be
obtained free upon application to
the Director, U. S. Geological Sur
vey, Washington, D. C.
EDUCATING THE PUBLIC.
British coal miners are entering
upon a nation-wide campaign to j
•educate” the public in the school
of nationalization. They are back
ed by the entire trade union move
ment. An attempt will be made to j
show that state ownership and co
operative management of mines
would benefit the miner, the con-!
sumer and the public treasury.
This propaganda is to be devel
oped with such intensity as to force
the government to give a definite
“yes” or “no” answer to the ques
tion. Then it will depend upon the
tenacity with which the two sides
stand by their guns as to whether
a general election will be fought
out with nationalization as the is
sue.
Aside from the dispute between
railway men and the government
over wages, prospects of industrial
peace in Great Britain are regarded
by the government and the trade
unionists as brighter than at any
time since the conclusion of the
war.
Government ami labor leaders
forecast a period of serenity and
increased production for which they
have long pleaded as the first essen
tial in' re-establishing the country
on a firm economic basis.
Several thousand British molders
have been on strike for nearly four
months, hut it is declared a large
number of them have entered other
employment.
