REAL JAPANESE SEEKING FIELDS FOR EXODUS Mexico and South America Offer Suitable Climate and Land for Farmers. SEEK NO LABORERS Empire Itself Has Vacant Land, But Weather Is Not Satisfactory. Correspondence of The St Daily Ne TOKIO, August 9.—With the bars against future immigration to the United States lowered under the new law of July 1, Japanese government officials and public organizations, as well as individuals, are turning their eves on possible fertile fields for the exodus hereafter. While there are many portions ot the Japanese empire which could furnish homes for untold thousands, such as the northern island of Hokkaido, Korea and Formosa, the climates of these places are not suit- able for the Japanese, who seeming- ly can stand neither extreme cold nor extreme heat. This fact accounts for the popularity of California and other western American States as a mecca for emigrants in the past. Many places, such as Austrajia and Canada, which are looked or:x avor- the Japanese as future already have closed their either ~wholly or partially. here are many countries where the Japanese immigrant is welcomed, even urged to come. The most notable {3 South America. Among the republics drawing the most Japa nese emigrants is Brazil. Rece 271 farmers left Kobe on one vessel destined for Brazil. These men had been selected from a group of 5400 applicants by Osaka Mainichi, this leading newspaper of Japan defray- ing all traveling _expenses of the emigrants to their new homes and decorating them with medals at the time of their departure. High gov- ernment officials attended the fare- well reception held at the time of sailing. Mexico an Obfective. Another country toward which many future emigrants are expected to journey is Mexico. Under the gen- ilemen’s agreement, Japan pledged to restrict her emigration to that neigh- bor of the United States. But the agreement ends with the coming into force of the new law, and hereafter the Japanese government is not mor- ally obligated to deny any who wish to settle in Mexico. Questioned as to the reception of Japanese emigrants in Mexico, the Rew Mexican minister to Tokio, Gen. iduardo Hay, is reported to have aid that his country welcomed all Japanese who might wish to settle there. However, he pointed out that the present economic situation in Mexico made it improbable that Japa- nese laborers without any capital would find the country suitable. “I may say that the Mexican au- thorities, as well as the Mexican peo- ple, receive with friendliness all good subjects.” Gen. Hay said. nimu- condition. however, in my , does not offer any ad- vantages for common laborers of any country whatever. This is proven by the fact that many Mexican common laborers have emigrated during the last few years. On the othér hand, 1 consider that men with enough money to buy and exploit agricultural land or to establish commercial enter- prises will find many advantages in Mexico.” i Objection t6 Farmer. The great objection to Japanese mi- gration in America seemed to center around the activities of the Japanese farmer. In Mexico, therefore, the Jap- anese farmer may find a future for- eign haven—if he has the capital to carry on. Most of the Japanese go- ing to Brazil likewise are farmers. In fact, it is the farming class which furnishes *the bulk of the emigrants from Japan. This is due largely to the small tract which one farmer here can operate, cutting down the possi- bilities of profitable operation of the farm, whereas in other countries the Japanese can operate on a large and more profitable scale, taking advan- tage of modern impléments. The exodls of too many farmers from Japan will create a serious in- ternal problem, however. Already there has been a heavy loss of farm hands through the rush to industrial centers springing up during and since the world war. What Japan needs is more extensive cultivation of the large farm areas in Hokkaido and other parts of the empire. Several projects for encouraging farmers to Eo to Hokkaido, Korea and Formosa are under way, and it is to the benefit and the Chicago ESTATE. FALGANISCENTER OFCARAVAN TRAE Chinese Frontier City Much Like Border Town of Wild West Days. “If you lived in Kalgan,’ China, your winter's wood supply would con- sist of several dozen carts, knacked to pieces for the purpose. You would buy your wine and oil and vinegar in baskets instead of jugs; and another basket would replace the old- oaken bucket as a container for your drink- ing water.” So-says a bulletin from the Wash- ington headquarters of the Natlonal Geographic Society in regard to -the latest Chinese city to suffer from disastrous floods. Gateway to Mongolia. “Kalgan lles 125 miles: northwest of Peking, close against the Great Wall that was to keep out the Mon- gols and other nomad enemies of China,” continues the bulletin. “But ont needs only a hasty glance around the streets after reaching Kalgan to realize that the wall no longer ful- fills its function, for a large part of the population of the city is made up of Mongols. This is a frontier town of China—'the gateway to Mongolia,’ it is called—and the sheepskin gar- ments of Mongol teamsters and cara- van workers tell the story, just as the chaps of cowboys marked our own_frontier cities a few years ago. “Kalgan has another tie with America’s old West. It is the end of the railway toward Mongolia, and to this rail head are driven great herds of cattle and sheep from the plains, as long-horns were driven to Wichit: Kans., and other rail points a gener: tion past. 200,000 Loads of Tea. “It is as a caravan center for the trade of Central Asia that Kalgan is most noted, however. Before the World War between 100,000 and 200,- 000 camels were kept busy carrying tea from Kalgan into Mongolia, large- 1y for Siberia. The Siberian demand has dwindled, but still thousands of shaggy, humped creatures carry their loads of tea off to the northwest. To Kalgan are brought large quantities of hides, leather, wool, furs and other products of the plains. Much of this freight is brought in bullock carts made in the simplest and crudest way. Having served their purpose these carts are knocked to pieces and sold for firewood, thus affording the cara- van owners a not-to-be-neglected by- product. “The people of Kalgan capitalize their position as the terminus of a great caravan route. They make harness, saddles and hemp rope for use as traces. The oddest industr however, is the manufacture of wil- low baskets as containers for liquids. The baskets, inevitably somewhat coarsely woven because of the mate- rials, are lined wth tough, varnished paper, and are as watertight as though made of metal or pottery. Automobiles Conquer Desert, *“Kalgan is no longer dependent on camels, bullocks and horses as transportation agencie: A few years ago an automobile line was estab- lished across the Gobi Desert from Kalgan to Urga, capital of Mongolia, 700 miles away, and as SO success- ful that other motor cars have been added. The Gobi_Desert, like the Great American Desert, has been found to be largely a matter of imag- ination or ag least of faulty nomen- clature. The grass lands of the Southers Gobi almost meet the even more luxuriant prairies of the north. Only a narrow stip is really barren. The long projected Mongolian Rail- way would probably extend from Kal- gan to Urga along the route the ah- tomobile mail and passenger line now traverses.” Twelve Russians Condemned. THE EVENING ' STAR, WASHINGTON, -D. C, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1924 DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Shall She Marry Her Superjealous Fiance?—The| Man Who Is Accused of Being in Love With His Mother-in-Law. ]PFAR DOROTHY DIX~—I have been engaged to a young man for a year. He seems to think that the fact that I am engaged to him prohibits me from being decent to every other man in the world. I am not allowed to treat my. friends with ordinary courtesy when I happen to meet them at church or anywhere when I am with him. He thinke-that there is no such thing as “innocent fun” or pleasure, and thinks the people in the church are hyprocrites because they have soclal gatherings. This is hard on me, as I am of & sunny, pleasure-loving dis- Dosition and am thrown constantly with the young people Of the church. Please advise me i you think it would be best for us to go on, or to break the engagement. We dom't seem to be any closer together in our views than we were a year ago. LILLIAN. Answer: My dear Lillian, what possible chance of happiness do you think you will have if you marry a man who has & mean, possimistic, jealous disposition? He is giving you a taste of his qualily now, aud if you are not warned, and do not retreat before it is too late, you will deserve the misery that will inevitably be your portion. 8 He will make of marriage a jail in which you will be a prisoner. He will keep vou walking on eggs to try to keep from offending him. He will insult you’ with accusations of wrongdoing of which you are perfectly innocent, and he will mortify you to death by making scenes. He will never let you have any friends. He will never take you to any places of amusement, or try to bring any pleasure or happiness into your life, and yours will be a dull, drab, monotonous existence, working for a hu band who regards you as nothing but a domestic slave, made for his com- fort and convenience. Don't marry a morose man. Don’'t marry a quarrelsome man. Don't marry a jealous man. Don’t marry a man who doesn't like people, and who isn't liked by others. Don't marry a man who doesn’t trust you, and who has so little faith in you that he thinks that every time you speak to another man you are plotting to do something wrong. Above all, don't marry a man who doesn't look at life from the same standpoint that you do, and who doesn’t enjoy doing the things you do. The only happy marriages are the congenial ones. You will get mighty tired of a lifetime fighting with a man every time you want to go to the movies or ask a friend to dinner; = DOROTHY DIX. TEAR MISS DIX—I have been married for five years and we have children. For absolutely no reason whatever, my father-in-law has become, very jealous of me, accusing his wife of thinking too much of me, and this has made my wife, who is much like her father in disposition, jealous of her own mother. My mother-in-law is a splendid woman in every way. She has been very kind to me, and I am extremely fond of her, but neither of us has ever thought of being sentimental about the other. However, my father-in-law's baseless accusation has broken up all the peace and harmony of our home. What shall I do? PHILADELPHIAN. Answer: This is a new and interesting angle of the in-law problem, though, as a matter of fact, mothers-in-law are more apt to look with a kindlier eye upon their sons-in-law than they are upon their daughters-in- law, and perhaps any engaging youth could put the come-hither over his wife's mother if he took (he trouble to do so. Evidently your kindly attentions to your mother-in-law have been mis- construed—possibly because it is so rare for a son-in-law to be nice to mether-in-law that his motives look suspicious. However that may be, it Is u condition and not a theory with which you have to deal, and your only remedy is separation. Ydu cannot argue with a jealous man and a jealous woman, and so_the only thing for you to do is to pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, and take your wife and babies away from mother-in-law’s vicinity. As long as you stay near her, her husband and daughter will read their dark sus- picions into everything you do and say, and attribute deep, sinister motives to your most innocent act. If your business will permit, move to a distant eity, and give your wife's jealcusy a chance to die for lack of food on which to nourish itself. . DOROTHY DIX. : “ e EAR MISS DIX—T have a suitor who is exceptionally small and very slight. and as I am taller than he is, I feel self-conscious, and more or less embarrassed when with him. However, I think I might be able to over- come that if it were not for other people's opinion. All the members of my family are large, handsome people. and they put a lot of stress on good looks and size. 1f a man is big and good-looking. everything is all right, but if he is small and insignificant-looking, like this man, they make all manner of fun of him. % ‘This man is intelligent and fine. Personally, I could be happy married to him, if I was not afraid that people would say: “Whatever can she see in him?" as they are saying now, and if it were not for all the slurring and cutting remarks made about him at home. Please give me some ideas on this subject, for I am really worried. STELLA. Answer: The only thing T would worry about, Stella, is the size of a man's head and the size of his soul. If he is a pinhead, do not marry him. There is nothing that gets on a woman's nerves like having a fool for a husband. 1f he has a tiny. warped soul, do not marry him, for he will make a cruel, niggardly, unsympathetic husband. But ether he is big or little in body has nothing to do with his de- sirability a husband, There are big, splendid-looking men who are brut who bore a woman to death with their stupidi and who are so shiftless they never car make a living. And there are little men who are gentle and kidly and, brilliant and entertaining, and who make millions, or set the world on fire ‘with their genius. Some of the biggest men wWho ever lived were tae littlest, physically. 5 And don't worry about people saying that they wonder what you saw in him. They will say that no matter whom you marry. ¥ - OROTHY 1 (Copyright, 1024.) o DI ESCAPE OVER BORDER. the Bulgarlan cabinet of Stambou- lisky, who escaped from the hospital at the prison, where they had been g serving 10-year sentences, arrived Ex-Ministers of Bulgaria Safe in|yvesterday at Tzaribrod, across the ST S Jugoslavian frontier.
