Japan to Keep Faith. LONDON, Aug. 4. -Japan will keep faith in its engagement concern. ing Shantung, according to a state- ment by Baron Goto to the Manches. ter Guardian. "Talk is heard," hE says, "that the Chinese fear Japan will not carry out her promise to re. turn Shantung to China, and this feat seems to be shared by other foreign. ern also. "Japan has always strictly observ- ed her treaty obligations, and. hat never had occasion to apologize for non-performance of her promises, The treaty between China and Japan in /915 clearly stipulated that Japan will eventually return Shan- tung to China. That engagement leaves not the slightest doubt that Japan will turn Shantung over to China, for Japan has never been ac. cased of breaking faith." Investigation Ordered. LONDON, Aug. 4. -The House of Lords has ordered, by a vote of 69 to 42, and in the teeth of the Gov erument's opposition, an enquiry in- to the circumstances of the dismissal of Miss Violet Douglas Pennant from the command of the Women's Royal Air Force, the counterpart of the W.A.A.C.'s attached to that force. Earl Stanhope said that her dis- missal, which had been justified of. fcially hitherto on the ground of hei alleged "unpopularity," was really due to her efforts to put an end to laxity in the force. - Salary Too Small. LONDON, Aug. 4.- do consequence of continued inability to find a suit- able appointee to the British Em. bassy at Washington, the Govern- ment; says the Daily Mail, propose, to raise the salary attaching to the post, which up to the present hat been 110,000 a year. "Nobody without considerable pri- mate means," adds the paper, "can afford to fill the post, and at least one eminently suitable person has re- fused to accept it for this reason." A. labor crisis confronts the United States, FIGHTING PROFITEERS international Purchase of Food- stuffs Proposed, Return of System of International Buying In Vogue During the War Suggested by the Allied Supreme Ercrnoinic Council- Unwarranted Rise In Prigs Has Been Causing LONDON, Aug. 4. ---Steps toward international collective purchasing of foodstuffs, to check, profiteering and speculation, which are declared to be rife in all countries, were taken at Friday's meeting of the Supreme Economic Council. The return to the system in vogue during the war was proposed by the British, French and Italian representatives. The proposal was referred to a committee, which will co-ordinate the plan and present it to the American Government, with an invitation for its co-operation. The members of the Council stated they recognized that profiteering and speculation had been going on gen- erally for some time, but the activity toward unwarranted price -raising during the past thirty days is con- sidered alarming. This was due, the members believed, to a sharp fall in the harvest prospects in the past month .It was pointed out, however, that, while the harvest prospects were less favorable now than \hey were July 1, there was no reason to believe there was not sufficient food to last throughout 1920, and these was no reason for the undue advance of prices. All members of the Council agreed it was necessary for the United States to co-operate in the collective buying plan, because at the present time the United States is supplying such great quantities of food to Europe that the collective system without the United States would virtually be pitting the buyer against the seller. As the food restrictions in the United States ended with the -com- ing of peace and the Food Admin- istration was abolished, it was pointed out that Herbert Hoover, representing the United States, was not authorized to bind that country to any agreement and for that reason it was decided$.to place the plan in the hands of the' committee. The members - of the Council agreed, after hearing evidence of European conditions, that the na- tions on this side cannot and will not in the present social condition be subjected to further increases in the prices of necessities. It was main- tained by some members that unless something was done the AIlied na- tions would find themselves in a posi- tion of being able to control pur- chases of foodstuffs from Germany through .the reparations commission, but unable to control the prices they themselves must pay. The members despaired of reduc- ing prices much below 'the level ob- taining three months ago, but they were determined that, if possible, they would not permit prices to go higher. CANADA WILL BENEFIT. Great Britain to Continue :Import Restrictions, LONDON, Aug. 4. -- The British Government has promised to con- tinue its import restrictions, which would otherwise expire on. September 1, according to Mr. George Terrell, M.P., president of the National Union of Manufacturers. Premier Lloyd George stated that the restric- tions would remain in force until the Government formulated a new trade policy. - - Canada has a very direct and vital interest in this decision. The longer the restrictions continue, the better for the Dominion, since as a result of our protest last spring, they do not apply to Canada. In effect, with the continuation of war customs taxes under colonial preference, they Make Britain in some regard one of the highest protected countries in the world. However, protection by any other name smells much sweeter 'on this side of the world. The 'effect of the continuation of restrictions and colonial preference with a favorable exchange situation is to ensure that Canada will be on a very favorable basis for securing British trade. The only unfavorable factor is the lack of shipping and that may be remedied in the near future. One of our shipping diffi- culties is that on account of the pauc- ity of British exports to Canada, ves- sels have to return to Canada prac- tically in ballast. New Domestic Loan. OTTAWA, Aug. 4. -The minimum objective in the forthcoming Domes- tic Loan Campaign will be $250,000,- 000, it is reported. Friday's confer- ence of financiers and others who will participate in the campaign did not announce a decision as to the terms upon which the loan will be issued. It is rumored, however, that five-year and fifteen -year bonds will be issued and that the rate. of interest will likely be 5 / per cent. The issue price will net be announced until October. The loan, as predicted a couple of weeks ago, will be taxable. Official announcement to this effect was made by Sir Thomas White. Con- sideration was given by the Govern- ment to a proposal that there Should be two kinds of securities in the forthcoming issue ---one taxable and the other non -taxable -but it was not thought advisable to adopt it.

It is true that as a result of the "lightning" police strike called Thursday night, only 570 out of the 20,000 men in London are out so far, but union officials say the full force of the strike will not be felt until to -morrow. The strike was called 'to cover all police and prison officials in the United Kingdom. In the Commons Home Secretary Shortt declared that only a few over 300 of the 7,000 teen in Liverpool had quit work, and that everywhere else but London the strike was a complete failure. He also announced that every man who struck in London would be discharg- ed ischarbed for good, and would lose adl°rights to a pension. It appears probable that the strike will not be successful, but in the present state of labor unrest almost anything is possible. One result already recorded is the looting of several shops in old Kent road by hooligans, who started as soon as they heard the police were off duty. New 'Title for King George.
