Not the least striking symptom of the new order is the scheme of land settlement now launched with official support under the auspices of the Oriental Colonization Com pany. Three years ago when Mr. Nuga mori propounded his land scheme, which had for its object the more or less arbi- trary, acquisition of all the waste lands of Korea for the purpose of Japanese settlement and cultivation, public facilng in the country was so strongly aroused that it was found politic to forgo the experiment. To-day a similar scheme is brought forward, apparently, without any misgivings. It is calculated in Japan that of the total area of Korea, estimated at $3,450,000 acres, only 4,441,000 acres, or 8.5 per cent, are at present under coltivation, whereas 15 per cent of the land in succeptible The remaining cultivation.
