FAR-REACHING EFFECTS ON THE FUTURE.
JAPANESE AND RUSSIAN ZONES OF INFLUENCE.
SCENES ON THE SOUTH MANCHURIAN RAILWAY.
[EXCLUSIVE TO THE "DAILY PRESS."]
Harbin (U.P.)-The unfurling ia December of the Kuomintang flag over Manchuria began a can- paign on the part of Chinese authorities to curtail the influence of Soviet Russia and the rights, of foreigners generally, which may the have far-reaching effects on future of the province..
Had this even happened several years ago it would have brought Russia's influence to the top, but under the present circumstances, it marked the beginning of a deter mined campaign on the part of the Chinese sida to curtail it to the utmost limit. The taking over by the Chinese of the Chinese Eastern Railway's telephone exchange and
Municipal agreements with for. eign powers have been abrogated by

· Private Meetings Held. The dismissal by the Soviet general manager of the railway of some Chinese employees was follow ed by a firm demand of the Chinese side that the equal distribution of executive positions and others an the railways between Chinese and Soviet citizens, foreseen by the Sino- Soviet Agreement of 1924, be patį into operation without further delay.

It is at Changchun that the broad gauge of the Chinese Eastern Rail- way ends and that the standard gauge of the Japanese owned South Manchuria Railway begins, and it is here too that the figurative line passes which demarks the Japanese and former Russian zones of in- Buence in Manchuria.
The transition from one to an- other, although it only takes a brief walk across the station plaf forma to realise it is a marked one. The elongated businesslike Pull- man cars of the Japanese railway Russian coaches built more for com look strikingly different from the fort this for speed or seating capacity. The tarred roads of the Japanese concession, which one sees in front of the station, are totally different from the cobbled and dusty streets of the railway settle.. ments in North Manchuria.
Added to the sense of political insecurity, to which all these con- siderations bave contributed their share, the business atmosphere of the town has been badly depressed of late, The introduction of the new custom tariff and of the 23 per cont surtax af a short notice has caused severe TossER. to many. branches, of tråd, the export of... soya beans and tean of being the most seriously affected.

A Curious Fact.

Also the bean oil industry of North Manchuria is now facing a final crisis, mainly owing to the crude equipment of most of the local bean oil mills, the introduction of protective tarife by many of the former purchasing countries, and the falling demand on the part of Japan for bean cake, due to the growing use by that country of chemical fertilisers.
- At the Buffet,
At the station buffet, instead of a Russian waiter it is a gaily kimonoed girl who' trips · dain- tily over to you with the breakfast tray. To one's wonder, at the door a Chinese gentleman has given you way and has let you pass first, some thing we have quite forgotten at Harbin where" even M humble Chinese tram conductor rules with a hand of iron over the for- eign public. The only sight common. to both railways however, is a batch of bewildered Chinese im- migrants, each loaded with his huge roll of bedding, hastening on their spring migration to the north.
