FROM EUROPE..
The Acting Director of Forestry for the Philippines, Mr. W. F. Me Bhorfesco, announced the grant- ing of a new timber concession in the islands, which, under certain conditions, will involve a ospital investment of not less than P1,100,000. The forest tract is situated in the provinces of Taya bas and Ambos Camarines, bor- dering on Ragay Gulf. It was advertised for competitive bids several months ago, and the award was finally made to Mr. E. J. Lane, who has associated with him in the enterprise capitalists and timber operators in British Columbia and in the northwestern part of the United States.

Insurance In Japan..
The Conference of Japanese Insurance Companies is now feel- ng acutely the effect of the vigorous competition carried on by the foreign insurance com- panies doing business in Japan. The conference lins a conventional rate of premium which is rigidly binding upon the members, who ara, therefore, not at liberty to use their own discretion, oven in ex- captional cases.
The Japanese companies are thus exposed at every step to the danger of break- ing their own rules and penalizing themselves, for which reason the committee of the conference is now considering the relaxation of |the existing rules within reason-
able bounds.
