elsewhere and, once it is in a position
to purchase these on a more extended
scale, it will afford a market for the

they will derive almost incalculable

to' look hopefully towards China and
to prepare in every possible way to

Sir Arthur Currie, on reaching Van-
couver from the. Orient, stated that
Chinese conditions were more stable
now than at any time in the past ten
years. In his ()Pinion the greatest
virgin market in the world was to be
found there. While' paying tribute to
what was being accomplished by our
diplomatic and trade agents in both
China and Japan; he held that Cana-
dian business men could not afford
to be satisfied with what these repre-
sentatives were doing, but should
make investigations for themselves.
He particularly stressed how much
good -will counted for In building up
trade in that part of the world.
This last was one of the strongest
and most definite impressions that the

and declares that, while ria realized
there are many difficulties still to

that they will be the first people In

Japan's Railways Install
Third -Class Sleepers
Tokyo—No longer does the Japanese
traveler of modest means need to sit
up 1411 night when he travels by train;
for third-class sleeping cars are now
carried by several of the trains of the
Tokadio line, between Tokyo and Shi-
monoseki. A narrow corridor runs
along one side of the sleeper, giving
access to fifty-four berths arranged in
tiers of three. No pillows or blankets
are supplied by the railway. Instead,
the traveler brings -his own, or buys a
pneumatic pillow from a vendor, or
folds his overcoat. Before these new
sleepers were available, a traveler
who wanted to stretch out on some
semblance of a bed had to travel
second-class at least. So popular are
the third-class sleepers, however, that
there'are.too few to meet the demand.
Additional cars are promised as soon
as they can be. built.
The World Wheat Problem •
London Financial News (Ind.)•:.
While the world demand for wheat is
inelastic and little likely to expand
rapidly, the supply is,largely in excess
in consequence of the deveopme'nt of
new areas of production and great
provements in productive methods.
The question is how to co-ordinate
world supply to world demand and at
the same time satisfy the complex and
often divergent interests of producing
and collettming countries.
