FUKIEN'S TURN UNITED STATES

NEXT?

A Grave Question

.

The question whether Fukien province will be the next portion of China to feel the steely hand of the Japanese empire builders is a question causing grave concern among Chinese leaders of this coastal province. The view of Chi- nese officials and business men here and in Amoy is, Japan is con- ducting a policy of political and economic penetration into Fuklen

that bodes evil for China.

Endless reports here causing much uneasiness among the Chin- ese are that Japan is considering taking over the parts of Amoy and Foochow as entry points into the sphere of influence she allegedly plans to attempt to establish with- in the province. Whether such reports are based upon fact no one here can say, but a very definite result is the Chinese business. in the major cities along the provin- clal coast has been reduced to but a fraction of its former dimension.

A REAL DANGER

To these business men the dan-

Ber of a Japanese occupationis yery real, and they are afraid to keep much money invested in business. On the other hand

Japanese merchants of whom there are many in the province are ex- panding their holdings apparently without fear of political or econo- mic disturbances. Much business formerly in the hands of the Chin- ese is passing to Japanese, and many new arrivals from Formosa.

Where auch reports originate is difficult to say. In the belief of the Chinese, Japan is either plan- ning an occupation of Fuklen or

Is Hong Kong musical? Time and again the question has arisen in the Press. Time and again it has been. shelved for lack of authoritative opinion. Learning there. fore of the arrival of Dr. Bortsch, celebrated composer and director of the Constantinople Symphony Orchestra. I hurried to interview him.

Dr. Bortsch is probably, the most versatile and talented composer living to-day. He plays no fewer than forty-six" different instruments, (including the difficult Mongolian claroon) and has composed one hundred and five musical. works of every conceivable variety. He also sings in his bath..

I was shown up to Dr. Bortsch's room. It was littered with instruments-in fact all the forty six which the doctor could play and several more that he couldn't, as I afterwards" found to my cost.

"Sit down, sit down," he said, thoughtfully brushing a harp from the sofa. I tackled him at once.

"Do you think Hong Kong is musical?" I asked. "Musical? Hmi That's a difcult question. Depends on what you call music. This Jazz stuff! Intolerable. Partly yes and then again partly no. You can quote me as having said that."

Dr. Bartsch then gave me a remarkable demonstration of his versatility. First of all he played me an exquisite little Arla by Blotto on the Siamese Nosefinte, and followed it up by a tango for two Borneo Bush-fiddles, which was made of whale-skin and played with the big toe.
