We had not yet realised the immense economic possibilities of these territories, but primary regard for the welfare of the inhabitants, endeavouring to help them to rise to a higher plane of living, must be our policy.
THE MINERS' STRIKE. »>
EXPLANATION OF THE DEADLOCK.
London, July 31. The general public is amazed at the breakdown in the strike negotiations, the immediate cause of which is the refusal by Mr. Smith, President of the Yorkshire Miners' Federation, to recognise the right of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain to negotiate a formule regarding rates applicable to Yorkshire. Mr. Smith asked the owners to negotiate independent of the formula accepted by the Miners' Federation of Great Britain and to accept as a basis that every collier should receive the same for seven hours as formerly for eight. This would mean the elimination of piece-work, because, whatever the output, the payment would be the same. However the obligations of the owners to the Coal Controller in any case prevent- ed them from agreeing to negotiate independently. The negotiations tbus broke down.

WHAT JAPAN HAS WON.
OUTSPOKEN BRITISH COMMENT.
London, July 31.
The Quarterly Review says that by the Shantung settlement, the Province practically becomes Japanese and the independence of China disappears. Japan will be freed from all dependence on. foreign supplies of coal and iron and be able in the near future to build a Fleet which will dominate the Pacific. This is a heavy price to pay for Japan's temporary. abandonment of her claim to racial equality and her adhesion to the League of Nations. The League has formally recognised the Monroe Doctrince in the Western Hemisphere and now sanctions a sort of Monroe Doctrine for the Far East. The tacit recognition of these arrangements is one of the most grievous blots on the Treaty of Versailles.

GENERAL DENTIN'S DIFFICULTIES.
London July 31. On the North Russian front, steps have been taken to prevent further trouble among our Russian troops.
The Bolsheviks continue to move to the west along the shores of the White Sea, sacking and murdering.
General Denikin appears to be holding his own on all his fronts, but his prospect depends on his ability to improve the material condition of the inhabitants of the liberated area.
