AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN.

WHERE THE ANTAGONISM LIEN, Does Australia actually fear a Japanese in- vasion in the near future? At first sight it would scam an if the people of the great island- continent were apprehensive of a secret hostile policy on the part of their neighbours in the land of the Rising Son, and that their vast un occupied territories in the north were coveted by the representatives of the new Atistic power, whose inclusion in the great family of nations was undreamt of less than a couple of generations ago.

Federal naval and military forces seem unable to suggest a feasible scheme. The Australian Labour party is anxious that the Commonwealth should be independent of British assistance, yet at the same time, makes a bugboar of Japanese development, which they profess to regard as being inimical to Australian interests.

If there is any trouble in the fature it will arise, as already mentioned, with the Labour party, which regards the Japapesa much in the same light as do the Trades Unions those who decline to become membèrs.

The real danger unquestionably consists in the possibility of a Socialist Government is the Commonwealth,. But in such a case Japan will have the civilised world at its back.

CHINEBE GOVERNMENT AND

COZION INDUSTRY,

Not long since a Chinese Impérial edict was issued, calling attention to the rapid increase in the import of cotton yarn and the injury being done, thereby to the Chinese celion spinnere and hand toom weavers, whose yarns and cloth cannot compare in fineness with that of foreign yarak or goods made therefrom. The chief reason for this is said to be the inferior character of the cotton plant and careless mathods of cultivation,

The edict, says Cominerical Intelligence, direated that inquiry should be made into the "merhads-of-coltos-glowing-in-other-countries- and the kinds of cotton planted, that a report should be published with chara and drawing to be circulated throughout the provinces, and that regulations be drawn up for the encoutage ment and improvement of colton-growing industry,

This edict was circulated generally through out the Empire, and the Viceroy of Chihli issued orders to the Provincial Bureau of Industries to prepare a report for the province,, Inquiries were addressed by it to the local authorities, but have not elicited sufficient information. Therefore a notice has just been published in the official newspaper of the provincial govern ment to the affect that a spacial commissioner had been appointed to travel throughout the province, at the expense of the bureau, and make a careful study of the colton-growing in ustry. The local magistrates are directed to land their assistance, and the Chambers of Ceinmerce and the gentry is also called upon to help in securing statistics. These will in- clude a report upon the number of varieties of cotton grown in each district, their quality, the production per mou (one-sixth of an acre), the total acreage, and total aounal production. The information is to be tabulated and returand to

the Bureau.
