Japan raised all the rice she needed, except ahout 6 per cent, which she imported from French Indo-China, Siam, Burmah, and to a considerable oxtent from California, which shipped 22,000,000 pounds in July., Formosa and Korea supplied heavy quantities. It is not generally realized that the Japanese consume equally as much wheat as rle They use wheat for macaroni instead of bread. The consumption of rice and wheat averages for each cereal about 366 pounds per person per annum, or about a pound a day. Some 28,500,000 bushels of wheat are produced annually in Japan. The rest comes mainly from Manchuria. {(Copyright, 1923.) GAS PRICE CUT 2 CENTS.

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Probably in every state department and foreign office in the world there already is speculation as to how Japan’s position as a great power, . (has been affected by the tragic events; of the past few days. Though the Japanese people were facing grave economic problems, due to war condi-' tions, they were at the zenith of their political strength among the nations Many authorities be- east. Can she remain such after the ravages of earthquake, fire and flood? Fleet May Have Suffered. Authorities who are asking that' question in the Washington diploma- tic world say its answer depends. upon the extent to which the . Japanese navy has suffered damage. ' If Yokosuka, the chief naval port, | near Yokohama, has been wiped out, | and with it any considerable number | flcet has been dealt a’ serfous blow. ' Japa influence as a world power 1 mainly from her naval n, She was able to drive a satisfactory bargain with America and Great Brit- of her force at sea. If Japan's the 5-5-3 national ratio has 1 vitally diminished by the effects nese political prestige in the world, is declared, will be commensurately duced. She may sink to the naval | low them. The tax burdens the Jap- anese people were carrying in recent years were caused to a considerable extent by the international naval competition. With the gigantic ex- penditure now become necessary for rebuilding devastated reglons, it is impossible for Japan to bear the cost of resuming a costly naval program. U. S. May Save Millions. A variety of contingencies is con- jured up by such a prospect. The United States might find it unneces- sary to spend all of the $110,000,000 which the general Navy board re- cently recommended for new defenses in the Pacific. Great Britain, in the presence of a Japan materially weak- ened at sea, mjght pause in its pro- gram to make' Singapore the Gibral- tar of the far east. Even the Dutch East Indies, on which the Netherlands government s about to spend enor- mous sums for fortifications, in addi- tion to new war craft, might no longer be considered subject to a “Japanese danger.” Statesmen in the United States and the British empire, in particular, are promptly giving thought, too, to the ef- fect on Japanese emigration of the re- cent catastrophe. There are two sets of opinion as to the probabilities. In some quarters it is held that there fs bound to be an unprecedented exodus of Japanese, particularly of the labor and less well-to-do elements, because of the new tax burdens and generally greater costliness of life in Japan that soon will be inevitable. Chance for Rebullding. A contrary theory is that Japan will absorb her surplus population for re- building purposes—that the Japanese “‘overpopulation” issue, hitherto ag_in- ternational bogey, has been solved, and that Japanese of the working class will be sorely needed at home and will stay at home. Distress overtakes Japan at an ume fortunate moment. Her finances wers in weak condition throughout 1922. Sev~ eral times a grave crisis was threat- ened and was only averted by heroic measures on the part of the Bank of Japan. The cost of living is still ab- normally high. compared to pre-war —for good printing. High grade, but not high priced. BYRON S.

It created a new industry, that of Automatic Oil Heating for Homes. Today Nokol is a nation-wide institution. There are more than 12,000 Nokols in use, in 46 states and 6 foreign countries. In nearly every large city in the United States a well organized Nokol service has been established. Right here in Washing- ton there are over six hundred Nokol Burners, many of which have been in use four heating seasons. ‘This phenomenal growth is the proof of Nokol’s success. It is the result of Nokol service to its owners. It has added un- dreamed of comfort to the home. Nokol has given its owners, for more than five years, clean, even, automatic, reliable, healthful heat. For the dirt and drudgery of coal it has substituted a heating service as dependable and convenient as electric lighting, cleaner than gas, at less than the cost of coal. Come in and see Nokol in operation. The Nokol Automatic Oil Heater burns oil instead of coal in.your present furnace or boiler. It can be installed in a few hours’ time, without alterations. Controlled by a thermostat, it is entirely automatic in opera- tion, and keeps your home at exactly the temperature you like, at all times, no matter what the outside weather may be. Nokol burns without soot, smoke or ashes, and burns fuel only when heat is needed.
