Why should she do otherwise? Japan needs Manchuria. She needs the coal and timber that are to be had there. She needs the markets ior manufactured products that are to be found there.

These economic needs tie Japan tight to Manchuria. If she cannot secure raw materials, markets and surplus profits there, wh she to turn? 5 There is a great deal of speculation \ in the East as to just how far Japan \is involved economically in Manchuria. It seems very conservative to stat that her citizens have at least hal! a billion yen in railroad enterprises and at least an equal amount in vari- ous other economic lines. The Bank of Choen (Japanese) reported that on May 31, 1927 there were 1008 Japan- ese companies doing business in Man- churia, an increase of 180 over the figures for 1926. Fourteen of these companies were engaged in mining; 27 in farming; 83 in providing trans portation; 292 in industry and 584 in| commerce. The other 8 companie: were engaged in miscellaneous busi- ness, Control Credit. When the Japanese fought the Russo-Japanese War to keep the Russians out of Manchuria and pre- serve the territorial integrity of China, the population of Manchuria was small and the Manchurian re- sources and industries were prac- tically undeveloped.

In Mukden, Chang Tso-lin’s capital, the Japanese Imperial Post Office oc- cupies a prominent place on one of the principal streets. In this post office, Japanese stamps, money orders and other services are for sale to the public. In payment, Chinese money s refused and only Japanese. money is accepted. For Keeps?
