GREATER TOKYO.
MAYOR PLANS CITY OF 5,000,000 PERSONS.
Tokyo, August 6. Mayor Nishikubo, the new chief executive of Tokyo, baa revived the ideas of the creation of a greater Tokyo, dropped at the time of the 1923 earthquake. Tokyo proper is a comparatively small city, the limits of which are a circle drawn with a 5-mile radius with the Bridge of Japan the Nihonbashi-as the centre, the circle taking in a con- siderable portion of Tokyo Bay.
Within this circle live approxi- mately 2,500,000 people, while touching the circle and to all prac- tical purpose forming parts of the city are 18 large and small towns, with an aggregate population equn! to that of Tokyo. The plan now is to incorporate these adjoining towns and make Tokyo a city of five mil- Hon.
The original idea was to include all the towns within a circle drawn from Nihonbashi with a 10-mile radius, which would have brought enough towns and villages within the city limits to give a population of nearly 7,000,000.-United Press.

COLONIAL MANDATES.
Berlin, August 16. The German cabinet voted to-day in favour of naming a high' offietal of the German Federation of Indus- tries to represent the country at the Colonial Mandates Conference un der the auspices of the League of Nations next month.
The conference will meet in Genova. The purpose of the Cabinet's action is to demonstrate to the members of the League that Germany's desire to regain control of her former colonies is strictly economic.
It is thought that in this way the German delegation can success- fully meet the charges that the cam- paign for recovery of the colonies la chiefly politica).—United Press.

A POOR RECEPTION IN ІРОН.
Ipoh, Aug. 9. Owing to Inefficient organisation the public reception to Dr. Tagore yesterday was poorly attended, the audience being almost entirely In- diaus. Mr. Leong Sin Nam presid- ed and garlanded Dr. Tagore. He expressed the hope that everyone would contribute to the funds of the university.
Dr. Tagore acknowledging the welcome said he was deeply touch- ed. As a post his vocation was to sing peace to the divine spirit that, dwelt in the heart of man and he had been doing that solitude for fifty years. He had been a dreamer all his life and had been giving shape to his dreams which gave him an introduction to the world.
Kuala Lumpur, Aug. 9.
It la learned that Dr. Tagore has. accepted an invitation to deliver the Hibbert Lectures in London next year.
