Recent talk of a new positive " pelicy of Japan in Manchuria has raised torebadings in the minda of those who recall the famous

MR. YAMAMOTO'S ACTIVITIES. Smuggling in England is not at ways carried out in the work ve and on the lovely benches. Some times cargoes are brought ashore with brazen audacity, and for Audacity you cannot equal the woman smuggler. Wemen have been known to run cargoes over bere from France in private yachta osten- sibly engaged in pleasure cruises.

Twenty-one. Demands" made in 1915 and the aggressive measures taken by Japan on the Asiatic

mainland at that time.

It may be well to glance at the

events which foreshadow this new development.

In June last two important con. ferences were held, one in Tokyo and the other in Dairen.. At both the principal matter under "discus sion appears to have been the ques- tion of Japan's policy in Manchuria and Mongolia. Just what was de cided has never been made quite clear, but the appointment, about this time, of Mr. Yamamoto, of the Government party, au energetic business man who advocates "econo- mie imperialism, as President of the South Manchurian Railway, was a move of much significance.

Japan's Special Position. Mr. Yamamoto is not the sort of man to let grass grow under his feet, and it soon became evident that he had definite views regarding the development of Northern Man churia, only one-fifth of which has,

The chief passengers were a man and a woman. The yacht berthed in the usual way, and was boarded by a Customs officer, who found nothing dutinble on board. Yet a. valuable cargo. of dutiable goods was landed by this yacht,

The boat was met by two dinghies, which were rowed out to ber, the occupants waving joyous welcomes and generally behaving like enthusiastic holiday-makeza. While the dinghies were on the

blind side of the ship, goods were swiftly,ansferred and the yacht was able to go to her berth with a clear hold.

East End Market For SilŁ. The tax on silk has now made that material the smugglers richest price, and it is also the easiest to carry. It can be watched about the body and artfully hidden in a score of ways, and when you re- member that a dy's costly silk dress, on which there may be a duty of £10, weighs only six ounces, you will understand that a cargo of only a hundredweight is well worth while,

The chief market for those com- up to now, been exploited. Mantraband goods is in the East End churia, it is true, is not Japancas of London. They are sold and re- territory, but Japan's special posi- sold, and eventually get to the Weet End, where they are genuine tion there has received the tacitly and innocently offered for sale. recognition of the other Powers, and she is able to profit thereby. Mr. Yamamoto's plans are' something as follows:-

Raw Materials From Manchuria And Mongolia.

Japan, being debarred from solv. ing her surplus population problem by means of emigration, must tax

to industrialization as A possible solution. To do this she must go tain raw materials for her factories from the nearest possible source, and must also develop markets for the sale of the goods manufactured thereby. Mancharia and Mongolia only require development to provide Japan with both the raw material and the markets' she seeks. To de- velop this vast territory, however, more railways are required, and it is on railway construction that Mr. Yamamoto mainly pins his faith.

Valuable Immigrants. The civil disturbances which have broken out constantly of late in Shantung, Chihli, and Honan, have driven more and more of the in- habitants of these Chinese provinces Northern Manchuria to seek peace and work, with the result that the population in Manchuria has Whereas, risen very considerably.

The big well-known shops said a silk expert yesterday, "would not receive this stuff because they have their own traders from whoi they buy, but buyers in some of the other shops perhaps have a good line' of silk offered them. They have no reason to suspect it. It is cheap and good, and they would be fool to refuse it'

An official of the Shik Association said: This side of the ails indus- try does nos concern us much, but of course these stories have reached our ears. Against the great amount of ilk imported each year smuggled goods can count, but little. It is not generally realised chat silk is about the third biggest in- port into this country, and that its value is from 18 to 20 millions s year.

Cost Of Prevention...

This running of contraband goCA on in face of more intensified work by the Customs authority. From the Customs point of view the coast is better patrolled to-day than even before. The old coastguards used to do life-saving duty as well as preventive work. Since the new arrangement of 1923, the coast- guarde have been concerned only with life-saving work, and there has been a new force of men whose work is solely preventive.

In that sense the Customs watch up to four or five years ago, the annual migration amounted to only the coasts has been increased. There are over 1,500 preventive men about 300,000, it now reaches some in Great Britain and Northern 800,000, and is expected to touch Ireland, and it is considered that the one million mark before long. this enables an adequate guard to The present migrations, unlike those be kept. of earlier times, consist of whale
