PARIS TO SAIGON.
PARIS, January ath. The French aeroplane, which is going to Saigon, departed for Athens on Janu Ary 3rd.
The plans for the Paris to Saigon diet. on which Drouilh and Des Nayelles Save atarted, have been carefully prepared.
The aviators studied the route for many months The light will differ from pre- vious long-distaner fights inasmuch as a hydroplane will be used instead of an aeroplane, and the aviators propose to follow the rivers and lakes, in order to be ready for a forced landing, if neces
The machine has a double motor, of 230 horse-power.

OPIUM TRAFFIC IN CHINA.
Luspoy, January 3rd. The Times refers to the immense and in- creasing quantities of noxings drugs, being cultivated in or smuggled into China. Unscrupulous British subjects and Ameri- cans are concerned in the smuggling, the jours states, und Japan is undoubtedly the principal distributing weatre from which drugs enter China
The journal refers to the sargestion of
the Chinese: competear judges that authorities are winking at the extensive renewal of poppy cultivation in China, although they strenuously agitated for the suppression of the exports of Indian opiam towards China.
Times says that it does not join the charge of bad faith, but prefers to believe that the Government has done its best to enforce the reliinition, although it has clearly not succeeded, owing to the weak power of the central authorities since the Revolution and the independent attitude of the Provincial Governors who are not too nice as to how they obtain the needed money.
The Times trusts that all the Powers will pass the requisite legislation to pre- vest the exportation of noxious drugs into China without delay as the Phace Treaty prescribes.
JAPAN'S EXTENSIVE NAVAL. PROGRAMME,
LONDON, January 5th. The Daily Mail Sydney correspondent says that Japan's announcement that she intends to spend £75,000,000 on an eighty (eight) years naval programme. which £30,000,000 will be spent in 1930, causes uneasiness to Australis where the scheme is regarded as a further whittling of the League of Nations and the limita tion of armaments proposal
Japanis contention, that the programine has been necessitated by the responsibility given by the Pacific mandate. Is ridiculed, the argument being that 901 new war 25 ships are not required to police the Caro-
line and Marshall Islands.
The Sydney Krning Frica declares that Japan's action is certain to create a re- action throughout the world.
JAPAN'S EMPIRE IN COURSE OF FORMATION.
-
PARIS, January 2nd. The Matin, commenting on the reported fres hand in Siberia which America is sold to have coffeded to Japan, says that the fear of Bolshevism has conferred on Nippon supremacy which, neither the military triumphs in the Russo-Japanese War, nor the negotiations with the Entente during the European War were! able to conquer for her.
This is the culmination of a year of wis diplomacy. Japan bus attained her aim to be alone in Siberia. Hencefor ward she has Tree Canada in vast Siberia, the pastoral, mineral and agricultural Teeurces of which are infinitely more coa. aiderable than are imaginad.

of the agreement reached between the Allies and Germany regarding the compensation for the Scapa Flow scuttling.
The report involves the immediata de- livery of basic tons of barbour material, and the Germans will have to give up at
least 300.000 tons in alf.
WHISTLER NEARLY A
SOLDIER.
It is learned from Lord Allenby's speech at the Guildhall that he turned
to the army as a career through being ploughed at the Indian Civil Service examination. Perhaps one
may set over against that the fact that Whistler was diverted from the army-the American army ire that instance-by an examina- tion failure. He was originally
a student at the famous Military Academy at West Point, but had to give up his military ambitions through coming to grief in his chemistry. Many years later he happened to meet in London a West Pointer, who expressed his regret that the artist had not completed his course and served. "Yes," was the reply,." 100 bad. And such a little thing, too. If silicon had been a gas, I should have been a soldier."
