How often is either con sulted as to the daily executive details of the section? On the subject. of an expert adviser da Japan, a specialist familiar. with the people and their psychology, Lord Beaverbrook is judiciously silent, though Japan is very far from being the least important of our Allies among the Great Powers, and he must know, if he knows anything at all about its present political feeling, that there is urgent need for judicious and extensive propagandism in our national interests.

Business in tin for the first five months of 1913 (reports the American Consul), was very brisk. So far as Hongkong prices are concerned, 1818 may be con- sidered as a record, and there is no special reason to believe that the present Prices will change very materially for the remainder of the year.
The price per picul in the middle of May reached $189 Mexican, and when the year began the price was about $103 per picul At the end of June the price in Hongkong stood at about $134. The stock of tin in Hongkong was very low in June, and as a result, very little busi ness was done.
