MOVEMENT TO FREACH - THE DOCTRINE OF PEACE.

THE EMPIRE AND WIRELESS.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

LONDON, November 20th.. A fascinating vision of what may happen in the near future in the matter of wireless communication is afforded by & schema put forward in a lecture by Major Murray, head of the Intelligence Department of the British Broadcasting Company. This is in brief to link up the British Empire by means of a chain of high power wireless stations so as to permit of simultaneous broadcasting.If the scheme matures it would be possible for important ceremonics in London to be heard in all parts of the Empire. Imay say that experts consider that there are no insuperable technical difficulties in the way, and the only drawback appear to be the high cost involved. Majer Murray puts this at about £500,000, but wireless engineers whose opinion has been sought think that a million and a half sterling would be nearer the mark.

POLICY. OF. CONSOLIDATION.

Japan has formulated concrete mes- sures to protect the lives and interests of her nationals in all parts of China, says the Tokyo correspondent of the N-C. Daily News. Special attention is also being paid to railway construction and a programme, that will be submitted to Mukden shortly, has been drawn up providing that railway encroachment be avoided by both Japas and China in South Manchuria. The details are not et obtainable and full hope is expressed here that the Mukden authorities will agree to Japan's propositions.

A Peace Folley,

This practically constitutes a right- about face so far as Japanese penetration into Northern Manchuria is concerned. Reasons have not been adduced, beyond a general statement that Japan is bent on removing all possible friction. How- ever, there are ample indications that Japan is busy consolidating what she already has and does not want to be bothered, at this time, with fresh prob lems. In addition, Japad is looking for ward to making Chin her best customer and to securing from Russia concessions whereby she could, in time, have a ready supply of food and raw materials..

The Leason of Experience. It is agreeable to be able to record that the moderata section of the Labour Party, with the lesson of the bitter and futile coal strike fresh in mind, are coming to the conclusion that the time has arrived when it is their daty and also to their interest to tell their followers that the strike weapon is useless. Those in close touch with the Labour movement are well Japan's plan for new railway construe- aware that prominent men in the Party tion in South Manchuria is to construct have long held that view; but they have a number of feeder lines to the South not had the candour or the courage to Manchurian Railway, these lines, Hrking speak out. I hear that a body of leading up important Manchurian cities with the Trade Unionists are arranging a cam- main Japanese-controlled line of railway. paign in order to preach to the workers Japan has just signed a forestry conces. sound doctrine that incessant indus- sion agreement with Russia and this is trial warfare is folly, and that while believed to be. the forerunner of other national strikes like that we have had in concessions that Japan will soon receive the coalfields injure everybody they in from the Soviet. jare the strikers most of all.
