have equal advantages, which It cer
tainly would not have If the shipping

IVnr Lack of Ship.
"If It can be guaranteed that suffi
cient ships will forever be available and
tbat tho rates will forever bo reason
able there should perhaps be less reason
why tho extension of the law should be
opposed. Such a guaranty, however,
cannot be had. The volume of Philippine-American
trade will never be eta
tlonary. It Ls destined to Increoso year
after year. And the time will not be
far, distant when American bottoms
alone cannot accommodate It. In this
sense ocean accommodations for the
Philippine Iilanda will be restricted by
the extension of the law when It la to
their Advantago to alwaya have ampler
and ampler accommodations. This can
only be attained If tho economic forces
are given free play, that Is, by allowing
vessels of all countries free competition.
"Establish a monopoly and In no tlmo
rates will go akyward. Higher trana
portatlon rates mean Increased cost of
marketing,' hence Increased market
prices and therefore less profits. Tho
tlm may come when the Philippines
cannot successfully compete with other
Oriental countries under the new law.
''Not only that. The extension of the
law will Inevitably make, the cost of liv
ing In the Philippines much higher, and
the Filipinos who have to live, and do
business In thclf country are Justified
In considering how they are going to
faro under tho change'd conditions, and
take action accordingly."

Japan and China Increase
Their Imports.
America produced In 1918 3C6.000.000
barrels ef petroleum, the value of which
was 1704.000,000. Her production cov
ered CI per cent, of the total petroleum
production of the world. More than
one-half of this (1380,000,000) was sent
abroad. In 1918 America cxporttd
SS.160.S09 gallons of kerosene to China
and Japan, which grow to 197,167,676
gallona In 1919, a gain of 250 per cent.
In one year.
In 1919 Japan took from the United
States 31,69,7i7 gallons of kerosene,
against 16,219,296 gallons In 1918, an In
crease of 90 per cent Large shipments
were made also to China, Australia, New

tie supply was shipped by tho Standard
Oil Company of New York, which, with
the Vacuum Oil nnd Tide Water Oil
companies, handles the greater part of
the oil trade In Asia.
China took 20 per cent of the kerosene

JAPANESE POLICE

Of the many undemocratic Institu

most typical. In America a policeman
is a good servant of the public, politely
and kindly disposed toward the p'ople.
In spite of the dlgnlfltd appearance
mado to fffectlre by tho masMvo and
masculine figure, an American policeman
Is a friend of everybody (savo criminals,
of court), with a heart as warm ns
that of any one, wearing the delightful

Government Encourages the
Planters With Good Results.
Auckland, Aug. IB. The cultivation
of tobacco has been quite thoroughly
tested In New Zealand during the past
few years, and an effort Is being made by
tho Dominion Government to encourago
the Industry. Samples of locally grown
leaf examined by an expert of the De
partment of Agriculture were pronounced
aa having n decidedly Turkish flavor nnd
a fair color, the expert being quoted as
saying that these samptea were among
tho best specimens of the class of leaf
grown In tho southern hemisphere that
hntt ever coma to his notice.
New Zealand's Imports of cigarettes In
1919 amounted to 835,927 pounds, valued
nt $1,844,845 ;of cigars, to 31,783 pounds,
valued at 892,347: snuff, 387 pounds,
value !5S; manufactured tobacco,
2,864,316 pounds, value $2,864,320, and
unmanufactured tobacco, 184,7,1 pounds,
value $132,828. Data showing countries
of origin are not yet available. It will
bo "'d' however, that the tobacco grow-
era In tho United Btates have some very
strong competitors, notwithstanding tho
fact that quite a large part of tha to
bacco made Into cigars and cigarettes In

Elaborate System of Village

Seoul. Sept 1. The first step to
local self-government In Corea has Just
'-een taken with tho publication by the
Governor-Oeneral of four decrees and
four ordlnAnccs, all- of which relate to
the creation of local consultative or ad
visory bodies throughout the country,
Tho consultative bodies to be created
by virtue .of these laws are of three
kinds, namely, provincial, municipal and
village councils.
A village council will consist of
eighteen to thirty-seven members, ac
cording to population. The membership
will be of two classes, elective and ap
r-olntable. the first class alwiys consti
tuting two-thirds of the entire number
of mcrobcra. The so-called elective
members, however, are also appointed

cabltf to the voter and the voted alike,
A municipal council will bo presided
over by the respective Prefect or Mayor.
Its function will consist In deliberating
upon the financial affairs of the munici
pality, which the Mayor will be required
to Bubmlt to It except when the urgency
of tho case may leave no time for so
doing.
A village council will contain eight to
fourteen members appointed by the re
spective district magistrate or chief of
Island for three years without salary.
It will be presided over by the hfad
man of the village and discuss village
finances.
An exception will be provided In fa
vor of twenty-four villages, which, In
consideration df their population and
their Importance as political or eco
nomic centres,-,!!! bo allowed an' elec
tive system u provided for munici
palities. pcsldcs the deliberative councils men
tioned above there will be established In
each municipality, county and Island a
school council to discuss matters relat
ing to education. The members shall
serve for three years without pay.
In municipalities the members of the
school council will be elected by popu
lar voto under a system essentially the
same as that under which tho members
of a municipal council are elected, whlto
In counties and Islands they are to bo
appointed from among a certain fixed
number ot candidates elected by the
members of the respective village coun.

United States Consul rdward J, Nor

Commerce on tha trade situation of the

total annual production of copra In the
South Pacific Islands la from 88,000 to
71,000 tona. Australian consumption of
of copta In recent years, ho says, hai
only been about 10,000 tons per yesr.
and of this quantity perhaps one-half
Is exrorted In the rorm or cocoanui or
oil cake, and only the remaining hnlf re
tained In Australia for soap manufac
ture and oil cake,
Owing to Irregular transport fncllltlei
rnd limited cooperage supplies on tho
various Islands there do not (ifiear
t) bo any prospects for the vstabllsh
ment of n rermanent export trade In
cccoanut oil; It has been fuoro profitable
to ship the copra, and the Islands' ex
ports will In all likelihood continue to
remain as they are .now that Is, In
bulk copra. If Australia loses the copra
trade It will also lose a largo put ot the
present merchandise distributing trade.
Australia now supplies about one-hsif
of Uio lelande' requirements. Aa the

copra and a producer of goods suitable
