CHITA GOVERNMENT BECOMING DEMOCRATIC.

The Claes Official Observer, at Chita, recently reported as follows:-

There can be no hope of peace and order being restored east of Baikal so long as there remains an armed force that is hostile to the Far Eastern Republic Govern ment, and, therefore, trade will not be restored until such a force is liquidated This the non-military party in Japan cannot fail to realise. On the other hand, if a final liquidation of the said opposing armed forces actually take place and the evacuation of the Japanese expeditionary Force is begun, the writer sincerely believes that the present Chita Government will become more and more democratic and will eventually contain a minority of Communists. The reason for this assumption is that in the first place the majority of the residents in Eastern Siberia are not Belsheviks and Soviet Russia will not for the time being withdraw the consent she gave for the creation of a Buffer State on democratic lines. The Laws of Constitution, passed by the Constituent Assembly, though at present only on paper, will be carried out to the letter, when times become uormal again and these laws are in themselves most democratic...

"We shall find that when the next

election takes place the Bolsheviks will lose a great number of their seats and many of the prominent communists will return to Soviet Russia on account, ol their ideals. Already the Chita Govern ment is gradually allowing non-Bulshe viks to become Ministers, because they have no alternative, seeing that they are anxious for an influx of foreign capital into the Far Eastern Republic.”

ASSISTS CANTONESE.

The Canton Times reports:

The secret of successful and agreeable travel in Eastern Tibet is to depend as much as possible on the natives, the of the country. In a region where milk. native animals, and the native products butter, mutton, beef, barley, wheat, and kind are needed; and the Chinese or game abound no tinued stores of any other non-Tibetan element in one's earn van. heth as regards animals or men, should be eliminated or reduced to a

minimum. Fate has placed Szechuan,

with its heavily manured and fertile low- lands and teeming millions of rice-eat

plands of Eastern Tibet, inhabited by ing inhabitants, next door to the bleak one of the hardiest races in the world: and, though the Chinese have a wonder ful gift of adapting themselves to their surroundings, it is too much to expect that a Szechuanese should be able to adapt himself successfully to Tibetan con- ditious.

SAIGON RICE MARKET.

The Compagnie de Commerce et de Navigation d'Extreme Orient, in their report dated Saigón, July 13th, stute:—

After contradictory rumours it is finally confirmed that, no more licences will be issued for the export of rice fram Burma.

According to the latest news from Hongkong, prices. at that port are rapidly increasing. Consequently, dur ing the Inst fortnight our market has been very arm with a strong tendency upward:

.

Paddy is coming regularly, but the arrivals are immediately sold. The de- mand from abroad continues quite fair, and higher prices are to be expected.

The total amount of ricé exported from January 1st up to July 4th is 745,294 tons against 530,106 tons in 1920.
